You would also have the poor liberals asking for more handouts while committing crime and the rich liberals scoffing. The police would be defunded in the liberal nation so good luck with the looting and robbing.

The liberal nation would turn to anarchy over night.

I would like to see the Left defeated, preferably by the force of reason. But this seems like an increasingly forlorn hope. So yes, I would rather split the country up than have to live under their thumb. As to how to split it, I don't know. No matter how it was done, millions of people would have to uproot themselves from their homes and move somewhere else.

Maybe it should be split three ways, so we could have a liberal country, a moderate country, and a conservative country. The obvious natural barriers between these three countries would be the Rocky Mountains and the Mississippi River. Each new country would draft up its constitution, and put it out there so that everyone can learn just what they could expect as a citizen of each place. Then everyone would be given some length of time (a year? two years?) to either stay where they are or move to a country more to their liking. After that, one can move only if the receiving country would allow them in.
How old are you? 5? I wont repost the LONG list of protest and riots in our country for equality... you can see the link... some just like to live in denial-

I would prefer to take the extremists from both sides, drop them on an island, and let them fight it out.

No - somehow the blonds would find fault with the brown hairs, and the REDs would return to Viking status and ravage the land for power and the RICH would build WALLS and make slaves of the rest... The start of the modern world was all white... how that work out?

My first thought is the left and right nation would be entangled in a never ending war because the left would always have a beef, claiming unfairness and want more land, power over the right etc..

What they're facing is a systematic lack of civility and prosperity and the growing attacks on whites isn't going to help them any.

Not to mention what it would ultimately do to world stability with parties all over the planet drawing new lines on the ground. Perhaps not all changes being a bad outcome but, you can bet the farm the many bad actors would take full advantage with the subsequent loss of life being enormous.

Atlas shrugged.

Exactly, why do these liberals turn everything into a racial issue? As you said the OP said nothing about race but dividing people along political lines so that each side of the line lives in peace.

I addressed this very issue here:

https://www.city-data.com/forum/poli...l#post58683653

As for your initial question, I'm old enough to have personal memory of the riots going back at least as far as 1980. Not a single one of those riots since then were about advancing equality. They were about venting rage, and harming white people, and getting free stuff from the stores they looted. Every single one of them. Sure, they started out as protests against what they saw as police brutality. (Against criminals resisting arrest, but they always omit that part.) But then they devolved into riots.
