they want to secede apparently. So fine, let them.

I don't agree that the two sides will tear the country in half. California has a lot of deep red areas full of Trump believers -- he got more votes in California than any other state. Some move out but the vast majority are staying. There is little or no animosity on the street or in daily life. People get along for the most part.

There would be a very big wall.

Trump Kingdom

My state? I am in Oklahoma. I like it here.

I was reading something the other day how since EO's have become a major tool for presidential agenda it lowers our standing as a world power. Trump reverses Obama's EO's. Biden reverses Trump's EO's. If the next POTUS is GOP they will go back the other way again. We are in the Paris Climate Agreement. Trump takes us out, Biden puts us back in. Same for the Iran nuke deal. We are so polarized in congress few if any will cross the aisle for much of anything. We are not stable.

Now some are questioning the election process. Well actually more than some 70% of Trump voters. Cooler heads prevailed who put the country over party this time. But the blueprint is pretty simple. Put hyper partisan state judges in as well as hyper partisan state election board people. Hyperpartisan SOS's and Gov's. We have opened the Pandora's box of winning at all costs.

I know the majority of people get along but there is a growing segment on both sides that do not and one of those has been in the White House for 4 years. What is the tipping point in the percentage of people unhappy or an event like overturning state election results and handing the result to the other side?

Based on some of these comments, it honestly sounds like some of y'all have never even met someone of a different political party and only know what you've read on conspiracy theory websites.

Try it sometime.

I'm glad you do. We should all be happy where we live. Still, under your scenario, you should be walled off, really

No, it's not a serious question. It's an asinine question.
