Time for America to Split into Two Nations

America the Divided

The USA is divided in half.  By all accounts, no compromises can be made.  The two sides are quite set in their convictions.  Because of this, the only solution left for the USA is to split into two countries.  It’s not the first time this has happened.  There is a precedent for this in American history in 1776

.

The first real split in America came in 1776 between the Whigs and the Tories.  The Tories moved to Canada, while the Whigs stayed in the colonies and formed the first American nation.  To this day, the people of Canada are substantially different than the people of the USA, and they are happy with the split.

    

The split can be done peacefully by simply going through congress and building two constitutions or it can be done by war.  The latter would cause a huge number of deaths and a great deal of destruction, which few people want.  However, the country is dangerously perched on this option if a split isn’t addressed right away.  Never has the country been this adamantly opposite in thought.  Compromises are entirely out of the question now.

Not too surprisingly, a peaceful segregation of the US could be done quite quickly due to the real motivations of each of the divisions.  A vote for splitting right now would be not only be attractive by most, but would bring needed relief economically and socially of a super-divided nation.  Though much of the industrial base would be rapidly changing at first, economic stability would take place in five years or less.  The two nations would be allies and protect each other from war.  The citizens of each country would love their new nation and feel at home.

 

Nation 1

This nation would be very traditional in nature to the original 1776 America with some modernized policies on immigration.  It would probably still have two parties, but may be dominated by the Democratic Party.  It would be more equality minded, more socialistic in nature.  Immigrants would be welcome but highly scrutinized at first.  Guns would be entirely illegal.  The military would be mixed males and females with many gays and lesbians.  It would still be powerful in strength.  The Arab nations would be prone to leave this country alone from terrorism, since more blacks would choose this country.

Nation 2

This nation would be dominated by the Republican Party and cut off immigration entirely at first, slowly allowing it after huge restraints to the filtering system.  The military would be hugely modern and powerful.  The president would be very strong and dictatorial in nature.  Freedom of speech would be severely limited to positive verbiage and less politics.  Guns would be entirely legal and expected in every household.   Mexicans would almost entirely be eliminated from the country.  If they aren’t citizens already, forget it.   Whites would be most comfortable in this new country.  The original USA has lost its appeal to whites.  Israel might choose this nation as their preferred ally, since this country might declare full war against rebel states and the Arabic nations.  Military service would be mandatory in this country.

New Names

Both countries might change their names, but Nation 1 would be closest to the original USA, so nothing has to change there.  On the other hand, Nation 2 would change everything about itself, happily due to the new attitudes of the population. 

The biggest problem is how the political divisions are distributed.  They aren’t by land boundaries.  Each state has a mixture of both attitudes that live side by side.
