South Florida stays. Let North Florida go with the South.

And they MUST take Trump with them! That is non-negotiable.

Stays with who? the Caribbean or Latin America? Its barely even North America in many parts of south florida now, certainly English isnt the first language around Miami.

You remember when the miami mayor talked about south florida seceding , all the counties just north of them said they would secede from south Florida if that happened . Most people in south florida are not unified by much, even a language in many cases, many people moved north to lauderdale palm beach etc get away from Miami

It's weird because we really aren't THAT far apart politically speaking. There are a couple of big issues that just keep getting replayed, plus the whole idea now of Globalization/Open Borders/WeAreTheWorld kind of thing. I happen to think that's a bunch of bunk so clearly I'm to the right of center but there are individual issues that I'm more left of center on. The real problem is when one "side" is in power they push as fast and far as they can in their preferred direction which doesn't do anyone any good.


We are Americans, and mostly we all want the same things but politics and media use us to play their power games. If everyone realized that and could resist it there wouldn't be much left to fight about.


Splitting in two does nothing.

Hmm. Depending on where you now live, perhaps you haven't noticed that the Roman Catholic church has a very strong cultural presence in many parts of the north, just as Evangelical Protestantism does in the South. And, IMO, there isn't that big of a difference between the two.

really you think there isn't much difference

I don't see the RC, coming up to someone and saying "are you saved"

what I do see it the Baptists, and the bornagains (Baptists on steroids) demonizing Catholics, saying "oh your catholic, sorry you are going to hell because your an idol worshiper"

there are major differences

Catholics don't fall for the snake oil, of being "slain in the spirit", and speaking in tongues

Why only split it in two ? After the reds and blues are separate, won't there be a need to separate the blacks and whites, loud people from quiet ones, Christians and atheists ect. Why not 4 or 10 or say 50 separate ?

No need to fix the result.

I've read a few posts stating 'where the best way to conquer is to 1st divide its people'.

The division started way before Trump. First, people need to agree on this or just go have a good time 'till the s_ _ _ hit's the fan.

I think we should be heavily focused on how to unite against an unknown threat.
