You just did it and nobody is going to bust down your door and arrest you. What is it you expect beyond that?

The problem with dividing the country by party lines is you'll have to do it every 10 years.

1928 -- Country was overwhelmingly conservative, Hoover wins with 400+ electoral votes. A huge landslide. The only Democrat votes came from the deep south, who still were seething over Lincoln.

1932 -- Country flips and becomes overwhelmingly Democrat, FDR wins with 472 electoral votes. A huge landslide.

And just like that the country flipped from red to blue on a dime in only four years. That's why splitting up the country by party is folly.

Hit the nail on the head here. Nobody is more oppressed than those who say there are only two sexes.

PS - I think you mean two genders. Sex refers to biology and as far as I know the existence of two sexes is not disputed. It's gender that is on a spectrum and I'm guessing you're upset about.

How are you oppressed? Are you posting from a prison where the government has locked you away for expressing your thoughts on gender?

Default How about this map?

Jesusland: Clean cut Paeloconservativism
Socialist States of New Canada: European Style Leftism
Rainbow Nation: All kinds of minorities bonding together under the tutelage of a WAS(P) liberal elite
Trumpland: Populist Hypercapitalism

Although I do think Florida should be more purple!

I'm bad at reading maps without the state borders drawn in but I think that puts me in the Socialist States of New Canada. I'd take that!

The whole rancid cesspool already has a 200-year head start on exactly that.

The South should have been crushed into pulp for the treasonous scum they were. The civilized, educated half of the country had the opportunity of a lifetime to rid ourselves of that albatross once and for all, and they blew it. Now we're stuck with them. They should be nothing more than North Mexico.

No, not just no but HELL NO!

California is already its own little country, so it;s a fine place for all the progs in the country to come and live in. Heh, they already are and that's why Trump won the electoral college.
