With no disrespect intended....I think the idea of splitting the U.S. with "leftists" on one side and 'MAGA-QAnon' on the other side is nuts.
For one, there is some crossover. And then there is the 'Independents' question. Even the apolitical, non-political, bi-partisan, and 'undecided' constituencies.
So, it is unworkable.
Instead......
Though I have no problem with an East/West divide......I would suggest the determinants or qualifier as to who goes where is a combined number, sort of an index, even an algorithm......that incorporates:
BMI + IQ + GPA + Height.
It's numbers based. It is quantitative. It is transparent.
Adjustments in citizenships can be made bi-annually.
ps..... I would also suggest that there be allowances for those of us who farm in, say, a skinny and tall area, but have a city pied de terre in a short statured but smart urban area.
Food for thought for all.
No?
