What would you do?

The people controlling the federal government would never allow this to happen because it would expose their politically correct ideology as an intellectual house of cards. This is why States Rights is such a dirty word to them. If the U.S. was ever split into liberal and conservative sections, the former would descend into third-world status with breathtaking speed.
 
Various states from Texas to Wyoming are establishing documents affirming their 10th Amendment and other sovereignty over matters (from guns to weed to health care) relative to their State and its constitution. The first foundational steps.

Its like 1859 all over again.
 
If the country were divided into sections, one for Liberals and for Conservatives, which one would you call home and why?

You’ve got the tail wagging the dog here…

‘Liberals’ and ‘conservatives’ should be relegated to a few counties in a given state, and allow the vast majority of Americans to get on with their moderate, independent, and pragmatic lives.
 
It's silly, within a generation any population of humans will find something to divide themselves into factions and be back at square one. A society is much more stable when they do not willingly create artificial divisions. It is also very likely that any concentration of militaristic conservatives will still fear and scapegoat a neighboring liberal nation and take every step to undermine or even annihilate them.

Indeed silly.

Removing aritifcial divisions is easy if we just do it your way and not cling to a dated Constitution.
 
The nation has been dividing for many years. It might become more formalized in the future with clear lines of demarcation but the US has been Balkanizing for decades.

America is a big country, it took over 30 years to notice that Americans were rejecting one another.

In 2004, journalist Bill Bishop made national news in a series of articles when he first described "the big sort." Armed with original and startling demographic data, he showed how Americans have been sorting themselves over the past three decades into homogeneous communities — not at the regional level, or the red-state/blue-state level, but at the micro level of city and neighborhood.

My way is keeping things pretty much as is while there are numerous amendment campaigns on the right that are looking to change practically every part of the document so maybe you need to walk back that statement somewhat.

Undermining liberalism is the best was of annihilating them. Fortunately, liberals are cooperative. Abort their children, addict them to drugs and debase their currency. No enemy could think up how to subvert liberals with the same art liberals have done for themselves.

Shit, conservatives do all that and thirst for endless warfare. You do not own the moral high ground.
 
Mankind will always be at endless warfare, don't you know that by now? There will always be people who want to be free and people who want to subjugate them. There will always be nations that want to assert their power over other, weaker, nations. The liberal answer is to make the US so weak that we just aren't worth fighting. No one wants to particularly go to war with Paraguay. We can avoid war by instantly surrendering to whoever comes along.

Idiotic. No one is seeking to make America militarily weak, no one. Just because our president is not threatening to wipe out third world counties every day of the week does not mean we are weak, it means we are responsibly using our still terribly oversized and expensive military responsibly and not risking our personnel on useless adventures.

Really??

Our president is quite happy engaging and wiping third world nations off the map. He does it a different way - more bombs and less rebuilding after but we are still very much at war all over the world.

When will the people wake up and realize that democrats are no different than republicans when it comes to flexing our international military muscle? Constant war has become the norm and all the atrocities that follow it. It is not a good thing.

If conservatives had their way Iran would be a smoking crater, we would still be occupying Iraq, Afghanistan would never end and no one would ever even suggest that the military consumes far too much treasure for what it actually buys us in security. There are differences, big ones. Liberals for the most part are not totally against war just useless wasteful war, a last resort when diplomacy fails not a threat to wave under everyones nose to force our will.
 
As long as we are the big dog on the block we will be under attack by someone. Right now its fundamental islam. No matter how big, or how small, our military is, the goals of islam won't be stopped until they are crushed absolutely. Then we might have a century or two of peace. It's been that way for a thousand years.
