The whole national divorce thing is pretty stupid, and while most of the people arguing for it are right-wingers mad that most of us think it’s wrong to hate trans people, the fact that our electoral map is broken up by states, which are then colored either solid red or solid blue, tricks even some reasonable people into thinking it makes sense. When in reality, this is what the country looks like, making clear there are basically no red or blue states.
@arossp not that it will happen, but we could allow each person and each organization to choose, red or blue. Want social security and free education for your children? Be a blue citizen. Want access to government services? Be a blue company. Land based issues like national parks would still need blue/red territories, but there's no reason blue citizens couldn't live in a red state. We already do this with Canadians.
