....based on liberal and conservative ideologies?


This isn't a "do you think the country will break up " question, but rather whether you would support such a proposal, based on the ongoing battle between conservatives and liberals.

Rather split it by wealth... Poor people sent to North US/ aka Canada.

They got oil mines to work in there

Definitely, no and yes.

It would just weaken a country to divide. You still need stupid people to do the stupid jobs for the stupid pay.

But the USA should have a reservation for conservatives and one for liberals. See which reservation prospers and whether it only has to do with resource availability and political leanings are meaningless.
Instead of the "Great National Experiment" that our founding fathers deemed our nation, it could be a "Great National Reservation Study."

The country is already divided...liberals have their 'safe rooms' and conservatives live in reality.

OTHER: I wouldn't support the decision based on ideologies but would if it meant either half would be too small to continue playing World Cop.

I think we would be better off without the great social experiment that is California.
We could wall off the state and let them live in their whacky liberal ideals and along side the illegal aliens that they love so much.

It would be like that Kurt Russel movie "escape from LA" .

No. We're far more alike than we are different, regardless of how the media seeks to divide us!

Isn't the liberal/conservation divide mostly between urban vs. rural areas? I'm not sure how you would execute that split.
