Guest Post by Kurt Schlichter
Sometimes you stay together for the kids, and other times you just have to get out of an abusive and destructive relationship. That’s how a lot of conservatives feel about being stuck with progressives in this relationship we call “America.” They want to pack their Schiff and move out, buy a condo and a Porsche, and hopefully find love again with someone younger, prettier, and less pinko. We’re not perfect, we conservatives, but in this analogy we are Johnny Depp and the Democrats are Amber Heard, right down to her Nadlering the bed.
I talk about what a national divorce might look like at length in a chapter of my new book, We’ll Be Back: The Fall and Rise of America, and it’s not a pretty picture.
“Yet, if anything, the last couple decades have taught us that the worst-case scenario can happen. Therefore, let’s examine what it might look like if all these things came to pass and America decided that its next destination was Splitsville.
The basic notion is that the red people would take their part of the community property and the blues their portion and they would go and live in separate parts of the U.S.A. Fortunately, as we all know, divvying up the pot in a divorce is never, ever, ever a giant hassle that becomes an endless, massive battle and ends unsatisfactorily for everyone except the lawyers.
Dividing polities is hard, and there are not too many examples from recent history to look to in order to see how to do it with minimal hassle. You do want to look to the Balkans, but as a cautionary example. Yugoslavia’s breakup devolved into a massive civil war. That mess was still sucking in U.S. forces during the Trump administration when Ric Grenell finally negotiated something like peace between Kosovo and Serbia. If we wished to divorce, we should carefully review how they broke up Josip Tito’s territory and then do the opposite.
The Soviet Union, the Humpty-Dumpty of international communism, had a great fall. Now, of course, all the ex-KGB men are trying to put it back together again. Well, how’s that whole Ukraine thing working out for you, Vlad?”
A national divorce is an idea born of frustration – our frustration with the Democrats being nimrods and the Democrats’ frustration with us not accepting that we are serfs whose purpose is to serve them and obey their whims. It seems superficially easier to just split up with people who are so fundamentally different in how they see the world and our respective places in it – for example, red Americans see themselves being left alone and blue Americans sees us normal people on our backs with the pinkos’ Birkenstocks pressing down on our throats.
Now, there are some National Divorce Lite scenarios out there, like maybe we abolish the Electoral College, or get rid of the Senate. In these scenarios, we red people are not sent away. We are just disenfranchised and neutered, effectively castrated into a nation of submissive Mitts, but fear not – we would still be available to do the labor, soldiering, and tax paying that the left needs from us. We’d be that horse in “Animal Farm” – hardworking, silent, and shipped off to some artisanal glue factory when we stop being useful.
Nah.
But there is no escaping that the red and blue components of America’s citizenry are developing mutually exclusive notions of how to run this joint venture that make our conflicts nearly, if not completely, impossible to solve to everyone’s satisfaction. Our differences are too profound.
The blues believe that it is a good idea to have weirdos, losers, and mutations grooming our kids in the classroom. We disagree.
We reds think America is great, and the blues despise it as well as other Americans.
The blues think we should worship the false pagan weather goddess and sacrifice our freedom and possessions to her by giving these up to them. We think we’ll keep our Silverados, rib-eyes, and liberty, thank you.
The blues think we reds are racist, sexist, and transphobic. We think the blues are extremely tiresome.
We reds think that every real man should own an “assault rifle” or four. The blues dispute that there is such thing as “men” and would be against them if there were. The thought of guns outside the hands of the Democrat criminal constituencies or the left’s corrupt law enforcement flunkies makes them cry.
These are stark and perhaps irreconcilable differences. So what if we did split up? How would it work in practice? As We’ll Be Back observes:
“Red America would likely track the present Constitution, being conservative and all. But there would be alterations. The revised version would do things like modify the Second Amendment to add ‘No, we’re not kidding—everyone gets to pack heat, and that includes assault rifles.’ Maybe they would undo the Seventeenth Amendment and end direct election of senators. Expect that the word ‘abortion’ would finally get into the Constitution, except it would be in the context of banning it starting at the time of the first date.
The Blue America constitution would be a different kind of abortion. The left, which is smarter and wiser and more moral than the dead white slave owners who were the framers—just ask them—would toss out the U.S. Constitution in favor of something written by a bunch of college professors gone wild. Say goodbye to those irritating negative rights that prevent the government from doing stuff to its citizens. Say hi to positive rights about all the things government is going to do for its subjects.
And you will see all the rights the old one had, except to keep and bear arms, of course. You’ll have freedom of speech and of the press and of religion. They will just add a whole bunch of asterisks.”
The fact is that without our influence, the American left would go full Stalin, and you never, ever go full Stalin. With their own country sharing our continent, the blues would turn America into the world’s most oppressive college campus and then would immediately blame their myriad woes on red America. And that is a recipe for trouble. We’re all stuck on the same continent, and that’s too close for comfort. What we need is some constitutional marriage counseling because there’s a big chance that a national divorce would make all our problems a hundred times worse.

Divorcing or not won’t change your fate when you are rats on a sinking ship.
Most especially when half the rats are demon possessed little terminators who absolutely will not stop, until the other half have been despoiled, broken and killed.
Differences are always irreconcilable when one party doesn’t even know HOW to play in good faith.
Leftism is literally an anti-life cancer.
They would never be willing to share a planet with anyone who isn’t THEM. But the truth is, they don’t even know how to share a planet with their own. If they could ever eliminate everyone who isn’t them (which of course, they cannot do), they would then turn to destroying their own kind.
Quite the conundrum they have left sane people to contend with.
Yes, destroyers they are. If they were the last person left alive, they’d have a fit and destroy themselves also.
The builders should start by dumping the destroyers in their personal lives. So what if they are “family,” or you’ve known joe blow for 20 years. Respect yourself. Be part of the solution.
Liberals have already cut Conservatives out of their lives.
If Texas leaves the right is never winning an election again
“If Texas leaves…”
Sí, sí, Se·ñor Mensa
People were talking about this “leaving” in 2000 and probably way before. It’s just talking rhetoric. I mean, if anyone was serious they would have made sure Larry Secede Kilgore was “elected” Texas governor way back when.
When it comes to political talk, mostly it’s just people full
of shit. Prove otherwise. Cracks me up, the yard signs, Vote For Joe Blow, etc. , over, and over and , over again , Charlie Brown.
Prediction. Texas will divorce Uncle Schlomo to marry El Diablo. Cartel land expands north , proving once again that Texas is ran by morans.
“AMLO tells Biden that Mexico will continue investing in expanded refining of gasoline, and he is willing to sell that gasoline to American companies because Joe Biden will not issue permits to expand gasoline refining capacity in the United States. Additionally, AMLO affirms his position on further oil development in Mexico and then, here comes the kicker,…. offers to expand electricity sales to the United States, including supplying Texas with electricity because both the Biden administration and Texas are not developing their own energy resources.
AMLO is telling Biden that Mexico will increase energy subsidies to the United States if Biden asks him to. Think about that.”
“…Texas is ran by morans…”
Ought to go on a fucking FLAG, flash.
I just might.
Texas ain’t doing shit, “my friend”, and sad to think Trump worshippers think otherwise regardless state or country.
Now, trivia question, it’s easy, what political asshole liked to use that phrase, “my friend”?
McCain. My FRIEND my FRIEND my FRIEND!!!
We’re of a similar mind on the topic, buck.
“my friend”?
Lots of competition. “Folk/Folks”
Either? LIAR.
Red, make me one, too, for Washington. Thanks. Add “fucken” after “by.”
With all of California moving to Austin, I sense a shifting to purple in the Great Republic of Texas. The Texas National Guard need to kick out all the left weirdos.
LOL…Austin was fag central in the 80’s…not much has changed.
10-20,000 people move to the DFW area EVERY MONTH.
On the other hand…
…I find that everyone moving into the Texas countryside from other states, are ALL right-thinking, right-minded AMERICANS.
And their numbers are not insignificant.
I can offer witness to this fact. The Californians moving here are escaping while they still can. I speak personally to many daily. Texas, in my opinion, is the best place to be in the FUSA. May we grow enough of a set to #Texit
They’ll never let us secede.
At least not on any reasonable terms.
That said, if I had to pick a place to be with the bleak future we have in store for us (in the near term, not in the biblical sense)…
…I would choose Texas over anywhere else.
Which is why I moved here.
And THANKS BE to the LORD for making it possible for me to do so.
“They’ll never let us secede.”
Free people don’t ask for permission. My hope is that we just do it, consequences will be what they will be. I’ll stand with the willing.
I got here in 2011 and have been hoping for it ever since! Nice to know you’re here Red!
You are an idiot. No texit. Ain’t happening. What will you do with all the military presence ? How about a major industry for the fed, Lockheed and large numbers of defense contractors. Where you gonna ship Charles Schwab & Co. Think Charles will GOPher it? Will the state become GOPher controlled? I’ve seen people try to explain it. Let’s here it, your plan.
Meanwhile you may as well be consuming mushrooms in Alice In Texas Land. There are probably plenty in the bullshit but a bit too late. A couple more months if you need time to explain how you gonna do it and the shrooms will be emerging should there be more rain.
What’s your email? I’ll be glad to send you my detailed charts which will explain everything.
Thanks but I’m not into psycho predictions. I can always ask Robert Jeffress if desired.
That’s not my post. Someone is impersonating me. That could get very ugly.
“mushrooms in Alice in Texas Land”
The left flooded California the same as it is Texas. They flood in like locusts from other states, ruin the Red ones, then pack up and leave when the going gets tuff. California used to be more conservative and libertarian prior.
Who the fuck are you? “IF” Texas “leaves” , your “right” won’t matter. Get it?
Divorce? Hardly. ‘New’ definitions seem to be all the rage.
Maybe draw a line…Call it the Mason’s Diction line. Everything south? Confederate.
Everything North? Confederate. Too.
Yes, yes, yes. A thousand times, yes.
If the contract between the American Government and those elected , appointed or hired to serve for the best interests of the Republic and American citizens would be considered a marriage contract , we have a case !
The majority of American citizens are victims of abuse , adultery and abandonment at the hands of the hired help . There is also serious signs of emotional and physical abuse !
We are due support and compensatory damages as citizens tossed under the bus for the last 50 years and now handed the bill the hired help ran up as they destroyed any possible way for us to survive indentured to their economic treason !
“If the contract between the American Government and those elected , appointed or hired to serve for the best interests of the Republic and American citizens…”
Somewhat confused. Thought the bold was one entity? The Beautiful, being the latter. Republic and Citizens. Great Theory. On Paper.
Anywho, what would make you think that ANYTHING is gonna change? Baby Steps from the BEGINNING.
And ‘here’ We are
In a divorce, the left will expect the equivalent of lifetime alimony and child support.
Not happening.
If we part ways, they are totally cut off and on their own.
Let’s divorce, and they can build their Marxist, anti-life, godless, 100% green economy, fund it themselves and see how that plays out for them.
As it all falls apart, they will still blame the right, regardless.
So, never let a crisis go to waste, right?
As the economy implodes, and civil society breaks down, we will self-segregate into different regions of the American landmass. Christian, traditional values America will reign in the government, banksters, and the MIC. Instead of “limited” government, we will go the “miniscule, nearly non-existent government” route and give that a go along with an updated version of the Articles of Confederation.
Decentralization is the overriding trend these days and it should be embraced. Regional associations of like-minded states will work just fine.
It’s been time since 1860.
Can’t upvote this one enough, Liberty
On this Bastille day, it is time to Make Guillotines Great Again with several thousand candidates for it in the District of Corruption & state capitals.

Mais oui!

You can read the Constitution , but no one can comprehend the meaning . Does SCOTUS know?
You Madame Senator were to be a part time position not a life time of government support by fleecing working tax paying citizens
Read the Declaration of Independence to understand the context of the Constitution.
Moreover, the founders left corpulent volumes of writings behind them, in which they expounded at great length precisely what was in their minds with respect to what they put their imprimatur to in the Declaration of Independence, the Constitution and the Bill of Rights.
There can be no question what the founders and the framers thought on any pertinent topic — most assuredly including what they thought about ARMS and the right of the people to OWN and BEAR arms.
The Senator from Hawaii knows all of this. She just thinks (and rightly so) that her likeminded non-government employed leftists DON’T know it.
Draw that line.
i trust you are familiar with the Mason’s & Co. ‘Conspiracy’.

Who wants to pitch and buy a rocket launcher?

I’ve always wanted an M61A1 20mm cannon for “target shooting.” Any of those for sale?
Even plinking ammo is very expensive.
You have to get your “destructive device” permit from the ATF. And then you can purchase your Vulcan on Ebay.

“The Pentagon has amassed a secret, 60,000-strong undercover army to carry out domestic and foreign assignments, a new investigation has revealed
The force is reportedly more than 10 times the size of the CIA’s clandestine operation and includes military and civilian agents ‘in real life and online'”

This guy has been keeping track of all the guns and ammo different fed agencies have been scooping up. It seems like every agency from the IRS to the railroad pension committee is arming themselves. He’s posted numerous video’s regarding the agencies involved.
“This guy has been keeping track of…”
Just like Real estate…Location, Location, Location!
Does he have any maps?
Asking for a friend.
Bidung supposedly left 700,000 rifles in Afghanistan and is buying more for Ukraine and all these clown agencies. These guys are beyond out of control.
We don’t need no stinking guns or ammo just 5 gallons of gas and a road flare and the addresses of the democrats
A second article where Kurt is featured? I think it’s time for me to consider suicide.
Well, you stupid motherfucker …. it’s working out REALLY WELL for Russia, and pretty damned badly for the USA!USA!USA!
Don’t people realize Kurt is just another Neocon Pig?
Bingo… ^^^^ Wondered if anyone else was feeling that way… Chip
I quickly browsed thru Kurt’s article. That’s 3 minutes that I will never get back.
Yep, this worm needs to be rototilled offsite. There is plenty of Unknown bullshit to wade through without rehashing the KNOWN bullshit over and over
Probably not a neocon. Just won’t get any more guest host gigs on FUX if he says Ukraine sucks green canal water or that Ukraine isn’t the equivalent of the Third Crusade. Only Carlson can tell most of the truth because he apparently is semi-autonomous and could steal massive audience were he to jump.
Stephen Moore made a politically correct statement about the 2020 election on Warroom and Bannon said “this is the Warroom. Oh, I get it. You don ‘t want to get kicked off of FOX.”
” I think it’s time for me to consider suicide.”
😂 Well i’ll be a Monkey’s Uncle! (Purely in Jest, I would NEVER wish/Pray Death/Destruction. ON ANYONE.)
Finally! Something we agree upon.
Felt partially responsible for Your deMEANor. May have forgotten to mention…Safety Hemet/Head Injury Prevention. Solar/”Batteries on Board” backup Skateboard. May have been my first post. Here. Everybody craves recognition. HUMAN Nature. Can’t really remember.
BEFORE i started the Text Edit Copy/paste routine. For my memoir.
i gather that you have been the same/worse. Since well before i started posting. Been reading here since like forever. Just like ZH. Amazing Articles, Although the latter is somewhat suspect currently.
i can only blame myself for not reading the comments, some Exceptional ones, some ‘amazing’ ones, both places. Still.
Think this place was (at least that is how i ‘discovered’ same) A ‘Link’ on ZH. The VAST MAJORITY of those articles were ‘High Finance’ related. The ‘Glossary/Dictionary’? Priceless. For a budding Grasshopper. Comprehension and ‘Understanding’-wise. Definitively, NOT qualified to post there. Then. Did get exposed to other fine human beings there, “Cognitive Dissonance” springs IMMEDIATELY to mind.
Believe You’re from, or live in ‘Joisey’? Camped in a place i believe is called ‘The Barrens”? Looong Story. Beautiful place! EVERY State is FULL of same. World too. Same with the People in it.
NJ? Noted for Toxic Waste Dumps/Repositories. ALL in the ground?
You can only get a divorce if you ever, after carefully weighing the pros and cons, officially promised to stay together forever.
Never consented…been living in sin ever since.
https://youtu.be/4OdG2vcO1gU
When the water and the power stop flowing, when the food supply becomes as scarce as an intelligent word out of FGB. No worries, the left, right paradigm goes bye, bye. We will all be living in the reality show “Escape from New York”….. IMHO
The old saying- “There are no Atheist’s in a foxhole”.
Much simpler than that. If EBT and Social Security checks don’t come the lights on FUSA get turned off.
The massive problem with a national divorce is drawing the boundaries …. it can’t be done. Well, it could if a truly huge relocation program is implemented …. which won’t happen.
For example, everybody knows Illinois is a blue state. Really?? Look at the 2020 POTUS election results by county. Only the Shitcago area is blue, while the rest of state is decidedly red.
Good luck dividing this up!!
I’ll trade Western Colorado and Lake Powell for Lake Mead and all points West. They can keep the mid-Atlantic and Northeast all to themselves. Chicago and a few other cities will be isolated like Kaliningrad, for the time being. The pain for those areas will be such that in due course they will be begging to join us.
As for NJ, gonna be sucky to be Stucky.
And here you are still stuck in New Jersey.
Nearly the same all over the country. Cities are and gonna be forever shitholes. They will become no-go zones. Should be sterilized and recycled. Ever watch the movie Wal-E?
A daunting task admittedly, unless 60-70% of those blue people “unexpectedly die” in the next couple of years.
According to the election fraud investigations about half of the Blue areas are not.
In deep Blue states its the Cities that are Blue and dominate voting. Cities are geographically small, dependent on the rural, usually Red, areas for food, fuel, and the tax dollars they spend. Do the Cities produce anything that rural areas can’t get along without ? Maybe not, or not much.
Kurt Schpincter muscle cranks out another diversion from the source of trouble so we can larp merrily along with him.
He wouldn’t dare mention that his relatives are the source of the rot and that until we become #110 nothing will change for the better.
Another commercial for his new book.
I was going to be succinct and say “This ain’t happenin'”…. The eaters will never let the producers leave because who will actually do the work to produce real things like food. We have a group behind the left (TPTB) that want total and absolute control and are stirring division to weaken all of us. Ultimately, we have been living in a Socialistic Republic for quite some time and we are quickly moving to a Socialistic Authoritarian/Fascist Regime… This idea of saving the country requires a revolution, whether peaceful or otherwise, to re-install the tenets of the Constitution.
They haven’t got a Fascist bone in their bodies and never did.
Khaballist Commies definitely when communism is expedient and Capitalists when that is needed but never Fascist. They will all soon show their true colors which is Satanic to the core. Babylonian Money Majik is their vehicle of choice= Usury run amok till it morphed into legal loan sharking. We are at the end of the legal loan sharking and “They” now own everything and that includes governments. They have no need nor intention of partnering with government because they own government and use it to enslave us.
Being unable to name the enemy has prevented the world from ever recognising the enemy and how he operates so we’ve been the sporting equivalent of clubbing seals.
Learn who your true enemy is so you can quit tilting windmills and unite against this parasite.
You really hit the nail on the head, Flea
Second that vigilant.
4th Reich Nazi Khabalists like Soros, Fink, Dimon, Bourla (Pfizer) and Kosmoysky worship corporate monopolies merged with government just as Hitler and Mussolini prescribed.
Sucking Fascist knob is sucking Khabalist knob. It puts you in bed with very satanic company.
They don’t have to merge with something they own. You’re all wet and confused and spouting off canned talking points doesn’t make you right.
To Adolph ‘Fleabags’ Hitler:
You want to “learn your true enemy (sic)”?
Well with Fascism as your God, your fellow travelers are the corporate monopoly-Socialist joint venture kings: Khablisits Larry Fink, Klaus Schwab, George Soros, Loyd Blankfein.
Pure Mussolini Fascists “corporatists, merging corporate cartels with totalitarian government”.
Exactly describes the enemy you worship.

If you had a brain you could do a little research of your own instead of repeating canned public school tripe generated and distributed by the Noses.
I’m in a generous mood so I’ll provide a bit of off reservation research for you. Right from the horse’s mouth.

Thank you.
Conservatives analogy to Johnny (dip shit)Depp? What a colossal insult and an absurd comparison.
That’s what I thought!
I guess he meant compared to Heards snowflake and entitled and offended life and attitude. In any case it’s a little bit too much of “the current thing”.
The crazies form a collective narcissist personality. This particular collective is high on the narcissist spectrum. It is a mental condition where reason and logic are dismissed, and emotions reign.
Perceived hurts fuel the rage. If you don’t buy into their point of view, you have committed an offence. Revenge must be applied to teach the sane people a lesson. Although, the revenge is never able to satisfy the terminally morose.
Talking things through with these people is futile. Negotiating is seen as a weakness. They only respond to a firm hand and serious consequences.
Yep, reality eventually fixes everything, just not always the way we want it to.
Several relevant posts, couldn’t single out a particular one, and i didn’t want to give the ‘appearance’ of piggybacking’ to ‘Jump line’.
If ya really wanna see how ’THEY’ view/feel about Us*…
* WARNING! You may Laugh. Wouldn’t wanna ruin the mood.
We Reds love America, except for the half that are Blue. We hate them mfers. Lets get a divorce, kidnap the kids and move to the woods. Do these bloggers, shallow thinkers, read their own bullshit? Shit happens and almost anything is possible, but these sixth grade thinkers over simplify and leave out 98% of the facts.
In the famous words of Curtis Lemay, “…when you kill enough of them, they’ll stop fighting.” Or in the case of our communist enemies, they’ll leave us the fuck alone.
There can never be any kind of an even semi-peaceful separation. They will never leave us alone. Never. They must be crushed. Everywhere. No pockets. That’d be like not cutting out all of the cancer while you’re in surgery.
division into 3 parts – NOW.
Article V of our Constitution puts the Constitution back in the hands of the States to amend as necessary. 35 States have to vote to call for it to work.
We had smart founders. Time to clean the mess up.
There are a couple of problems with an Article V convention of the states.
1. Politicians will get to pick who represents each state
2. It only takes 16 states to veto any proposal and prevent it from going to the states for ratification
3. It only takes 13 states to veto a proposed Amendment put to the states for ratification
If you look at the current red/blue/purple make-up of the states, it is easy to put together a coalition of 16 states on red or blue side, so nothing can get done that will be constructive (see item 1)
I think Mark Levin wrote a couple of books about this back when Obama was in office. And he harped about it every freaking day on his talk radio blow. I never understood why Mark did not take hold of the reins and drive this baby home. /s
Great idea, clod. Let the R- Zionists and D- Bolsheviks rewrite our Constitution. I’m sure liberty and justice will be restored.
Restoring civics classes to public schools would help.
Joe – If they did, they would only teach the 1619 version of civics.
America’s divorce will be no different than any other. Revulsion overcomes attraction and each go their separate ways.
The attraction was minimal to begin with. Thirteen polyamorous colonies hashed together a frequently ignored set of marital vows and whenever the opportunity arose, Shotgun-Monroe’d the nuptials for additional, “United” states.
Our political polyglot that has never had one voice.
A hundred years or so into our expansionist orgy, a huge fight broke out and its results hover about us still, inviting a redo.
The contested concepts that always herald divorce are the fight between the individual and the collective.
I don’t care how big the collective gets, I’ll fight to my last breath for my right to be an individual and break the mold that made me.
Fourscore and seven… Not 100 or so.
When you reach 87 years of age, tell me it doesn’t feel like a 100 or so.
Sounds to me Like the author is a secret empire admirer and will accept the status quo, but only with protest. A red who is the blues best friend, like the Mitt he makes fun of.
Another Con Inc grifter selling us books as he pushes the establishment (false) narrative about Ukraine while simultaneously telling us we can never divorce the left and must show up to vote GOP no matter what despite their endless betrayals as the controlled opposition wing of the regime. No thanks, hard pass.
The question of whether a State can leave the Union was clarified in the War against the South. This is not a free country, and States and Citizens have no sovereignty. All the talk of freedom was bullshit and the US is just another feudal dictatorship. It is time to wake up and admit reality.
I don’t want a divorce. I want to defeat them.
If everyone comes to Texas, Texas will be like everywhere else. Already is, just look at DFW, Las Colinas , assholes of the universe for corporate ass. Go back, at least until I decide where the hell to relocate. Thanks!
Next thing I know the corporate world of Trump will be here claiming eminent domain for PRIVATE GAIN, some kind of fucking casinos.
Yea , Texas for Trump. FUCK TRUMP, seriously!
In Texas, for the former Rick Perry for governor fans, the Rick Perry for the money fans, now you can eat the shit that comes with that. Maybe your fucking stocks will make you a lot of fucking money. Texas, no different than the other states. Imagine that! Once filled , it’s filled. And the crowd? Yeah!
