No way in hell, and people advocating for this because they don't want to share a country with cringe leftoids and/or MAGA deplorables have no historical perspective and no sense of responsibility for their countrymen. (normal, sane, patriot)

What is this 'responsibility for their countrymen' you're talking about? Cause I feel absolutely zero responsibility for people who don't want to help themselves; and actually kind of feel like working class people who vote for conservative policies sort of deserve what they're asking for. A nice big dose of unlimited laissez-faire economics and the dismantling of the social welfare system.

For real though, how can you claim a country that is minute in the grand scheme of things really demands a 'historical perspective'. If we /did/ split up you'd practically blink before that became the historical perspective in another 50-60 years.

This country is for the birds; to put it nicely, no one actually believes in it any more, just the idealized version they imagine in their heads. Time to start over.

Will it be sad to see the breakup/partition of America?

What do apolitical people do?

Eh, I can't say I've ever been a very patriotic person. I've always identified more with the states I've lived in and the people I grew up with than actually being 'an American' which; during the time I've been old enough to actually think about it consciously, has always been more a source of shame than anything else.

Being 'apolitical' is in and of itself a luxury. Most 'apolitical' people when I start talking to them about very specific proposals for increasing the economic power of the average person or holding oligarchs and corporations accountable almost inevitably agree; it's usually less about being truly 'apolitical' with those people, and more about the fact that they're just ignorant and don't really care to know in the first place. It's the overarching ideologies, parties and labels that scare them off.

Not saying that's you. Actually, I find the idea of an apolitical yet politically knowledgable person to be quite an anachronism. Usually increasing consciousness leads to some sort of desire to use ones agency for change. But hey, more power to you bro. I still think you'd be better off in one of the more socially liberal 'Nations' that would form from this.
