Our states are going hard right and hard left on abortions, parental rights and sexual identity. We have not been this divided as a nation since the Civil War. It’s tough to see a compromise to this split.

These arent issues that people are willing to die over, or sacrifice the quality of life, but if you offered people the opportunity to be insulated from the opposing viewpoint, I think many would take that.
Said it many times, liberal democracy is enemy of federalism. Their centralized top-down governing approach with 51% popular votes is mob rule, tyranny of majority.
The framers of the Constitution understood this and were genius for anticipating the issue. They also understood that the desire of those in government is power so we’re trying to avoid Federal control.
The chances of that happening are less than, say, a "dissolution of the Union" along the lines of the dissolution of the Soviet Union.
A civil war because what, Republicans think the way to govern is telling people what they can't do?!?!

their ass kicking and slink away, even the link boy. He's gone radio silence on this
And the body of your post is hilarious. It is the Left who is telling people what to do these days. The Left has become everything they criticized about the former "right wing christian conservatives" decades ago. The intolerance for thoughtcrime has transferred from the Right to the Left. It is the Right who now champions freedom of thought. Dissent from the Left?...lose your job, and possibly face the punishment of government. Dissent from the Right?...ho hum.
It was also an invitation to discuss where this conflict might go.

Sending the Oklahoma Militia into CA to protect those babies sounds like a very reasonable decision to me.
Putrid Democrats have my contempt.

Babies are even more innocent than the Ukrainians. Ask yourself why you don’t want to protect the innocent.
