Except for all the people trapped in fascist America. Or were you imagining an American version of the Partition? How did that work out for India and Pakistan?

Lol well since the British wouldn’t be drawing the borders in America I imagine it would go much better than Pakistan/India. You realize that there are far more states that vote Republican right? I highly doubt that the majority of those people would consider a conservative government “fascist”. Same as not everyone in a liberal country would consider their state socialist or whatever -ist fits best.

You...know not everyone living in Red States is a Republican, right? What happens to them? If they are black, women, gay or trans, we just abandon them to a brand new country that openly despises them? Sounds like an awesome solution!

Lol I mean I’m just assuming that everyone would move where they wanted. You know X group might not want to live in future Republic of Texas so they move to Republic of Illinois, or Y group leaves The Pennsylvania Commonwealth to go live in The commonwealth of South Carolina. No idea how any of it would work in a random future. Hell there might be 50 independent countries, or 5. My point is that splitting up America would solve a whole lot of issues.

Sure, yeah, millions of people abandoning everything and moving hundreds of miles away. What could go wrong?

All sorts of things. I would assume that the states would all welcome new arrivals to replace people leaving, but I have no idea. It would be crazy for sure. Or we could just keep going the way we are and have a civil war that would just have the same results with more deaths.
