I know that for some reason, Americans seem to want to maintain the indivisibility of their country.

But keeping it together means continuing this unpleasant normal, or at best alternating models which one side or another hates.

There's no common American idea any longer. It's basically a middle which hates the edges and edges which hate the middle. I'm with the edges, beliefwise. But if folks in the middle want to live without regulations, which means in isolation, with pollution, under fundamental Christian doctrine, and with few protections for its vulnerable people, I imagine many folks would prefer that they do so in their own country rather than inflict their ideas on everyone else.

Can division be done peaceably?

Sadly, more than a third of people expect civil war.

Keeping a country together ain't worth the price in lives if the difference is over ways folks wish to operate their nation. It is a matter of great fortune that the geography of the flavours of political belief are more-or-less coherent.

Let Jesuslanders do Jesusy things. Let Enlightenlanders do enlightenment things.

There's no common vision here, and only a nostalgic and partisan mythology to look back on. Fork in the road.

But what interesting, contrasting countries might be made in splitting.
