I can sympathise with your frustration, but the nature of the rot in this country is more complicated than simply separating into free states and totalitarian states. Even in red states there are major cities that are deep blue. Regardless, I think we can agree it's going to be a mess.

Quite an interesting post. I live in one of those shitty blue states outside a shitty blue city. As much as I may wish to try and find some hopium for your article, I cannot. Voting won't fix what ails us. Purging the government, academia, media, military, etc of the dysgenic elements would require something for which I have no desire to engage. Divorce may be the best solution but how does one determine the boundaries? Most "blue" states are only Blue with certain zones. Look at Oregon or New York for examples.

Trump is really a symptom of what most Americans want. Stable, sane government with an eye towards providing good jobs. A reliable power grid. The problem is the other people will cheat to maintain power. History has shown that once the ballot box fails, things get sporty.
