Much of the perceived divide is because of both political parties being run by their extremist loons. Same with these boards. Many here (especially the loudest) are exremist. Far far more than the population at large.
Best possible thing would be instead of a break up: The extreme leftists all go to Cuba for their socialist paradise.
Cuba is communist, not socialist. The "lefties" would probably be more at home in more advanced, educated (and socialist) nations like The Netherlands, Norway and Denmark where quality of life, education and healthcare are among the highest on the planet.
Or, we could stay here and work to make this country a better place.

The righties can all head for Somalia where there is no pesky government to bother them.
The righties would be more at home in theocracies like Iran. Except of course for the fact that over there they talk to a different invisible friend and have a different fantasy novel on the required reading list.
It is obvious that there are two totally opposing ideologies. There will be a constant battle between the two.
There is less civility. Outright hatred.
I do not want to live with the political left. I want to live apart from them. Their ways are not mine.
It's not like we disagree on how to get to the same goal. We disagree on what we want this nation to be.
Why should we stay together as a nation. I'm just asking....
From what I in the historical sense the Constitution was created to have a United States, not a nation. The federal government was simply responsible to handle issues that applied to the nation as a whole. One example is to raise and support an Army to defend the states as a whole. However, in time people that believed in a stronger central government has encroache on the states rights to the point we are now. More and more the federal government has interfered on issue that belonged to the states.
The Founding Fathers saw themselves more as a United States than as a a nation as I understand it. Take care.
I agree. I will admit that the idea of dissolution is attractive to me sometimes. (I mainly just want to kick Texas out of the union.) The problem with that is that once you start, you don't stop. Let's say you are granted that perfect little piece of land where everyone thinks like you. Well, in short order, those people are going to divide into factions .. before you know it, you will a left, a right and more divisions. See the history of Protestantism for a good example of this principle applied.
So.. what is the problem? People want to be happy and live with people who share common things. Liberals should live with liberals and yahoos with yahoos.

This post is genius.......must have read my mind.
The United States Of Amerit**d......a dirty, corrupt, dysfunctional, failed country. Just too big and cumbersome of an idea.......it is NOT working out very well.
There are MAINLY two sides, they hate each others guts......will never
work together to move this country forward on big issues that need to be resolved.
I am HOPING that the USA as we know it will dissolve........corrupt federal government..........bye bye. States will be their own countries.....decided their own destiny.
I don't care who you have sex with, as long as both are consenting adults. Just don't make it a part of school curriculum.
But it's OK to have the Bible and Christian prayer in schools, right? And creationism/intelligent design in science classes instead of mythology 101 where it belongs.

Pray to trees if you feel the desire to do so.
..but just remember that Christianity is the only true and valid religion and that Christians hold a privileged position in society and government. After all this IS a Christian nation founded on Biblical principles (or so the revisionists say).
