So a cold civil war.

Pretty much. Except this is more like a path to separation rather than supremacy and total control over the land.

Need to build some more conservative fucking cities! With conservative officials.

Yeah, that'll happen by itself. Basically, there'll be voluntary segregation that will result in conservative areas and liberal areas with different economies and corporations. As it stands, soon enough you'd know someone's political affiliation by what they are wearing, where they are shopping and what phone/apps they are using. Once that happens, segregation is inevitable.

I smell a voluntarist!

And I approve.

No idea what you mean by a voluntarist, but I am very opposed to a shooting war. A hot civil war in the united states would have no winners, just a variety of losers.

Voluntarists are capitalists that believe in voluntary trade of captital for goods and services in a free market. Unlike socialism and communism where all goods, services and capital are taken at gunpoint and then redistributed by the government.

Although the land is totally worth fighting for and that would happen eventually.

The two sides are too close to each other for any kind of war for supremacy, any victory would be a pyrrhic one for either side, so if God forbid there is a shooting war, it would be to settle contested areas between the two countries rather than to rule over all of the USA.

You cannot unite with this authoritarian trash. We will be united as patriots and as decent human beings.

We also can't let them take over because they won't allow us to do what you're describing.

Don't really see any other path forward. Right now there are two americas a conservative america and a liberal one. The rift between the two is getting larger not smaller. Their sizes are comparable so none can crush the other completely, and there is not will whatsoever on either side bridge the divide, so what else is there?

The Constitution only matters when both sides believe in it.

Think about that for a minute.

How the fuck are you supposed to unify if one side refuses? Lefties don't want to unify or compromise, they want to control. What fucking difference does it make if my country loses power when I don't have any power in the existing state?

Where did I use the term unify?
