What do you think about the idea of the United States splitting up based on political beliefs? One thing I forgot to bring up in the video: Blue states and red states CHANGE. For example, Georgia was reliably a red state until 2020. Indiana was a blue state in...2008. California was a red state in...the 1980s.
-
Considering Texas has more democratic voters than most states and California has more Republican voters than most states Is a prime example of why this wouldn’t work.
-
When living in italy and taking an Italian culture class I heard a great line, " All the regions like to act like they're so different, but we all eat pasta"
-
Government: hey are you a democrat or republican? 3 year old toddler: huh
-
“We should have a national divorce! Not secession, but just where the states that disagree with the federal government should leave!” Ms. Greene, that is secession. Calling for secession is a very bad idea.
-
The dumbest thing about the whole "national divorce" is ignores the history of demographics as states have shifted supported between the two parties. Also furthering divide is definitely not better for the country.
-
I think a national divorce would be pointless because in the next few years, blue states and red states will be different due to the election.
-
As a person who traveled across the US for 6 months, the determining difference seems to be the city and not the state. If the US map was actually separated to the blue and red areas it would look like an absolute mess.
-
As someone in an Antarctic state, I am absolutely appalled and offended that you didn’t mention us
-
The irony of MTG's tweet about red states requiring prayer and the pledge of allegiance at school and blue states requiring pledges to BLM and the trans flag at school is that both of those scenarios would violate the 1st Amendment.
-
What I found funny about her idea of a national divorce is that by most metrics, her own state of Georgia would be a blue state!
-
Thank you for pointing out how alike we are, mostly agree and need each other.
-
The one-sentence summary to this incredible video: a "national divorce" is ridiculous, impossible, & causes far more problems for Americans (or whatever we'd become) overall. Also as an NYC native, I can promise I know plenty of people who'd be furious at ideas like getting rid of the anthem. You can have pride in your country regardless of political beliefs (which is something that I feel shouldn't have to be said...).
-
Complains about “being forced to practice ideologies against our will” Describes being forced to repeat the pledge of allegiance as a positive… Not just she’s a hypocrite, but she really doesn’t care about free speech. Why do we elect fools into office ?
-
I like how social media makes it even more obvious that politicians are mostly just normal if not dumb people, and thanks to that we get videos like this
-
I've heard that many of the blue and red states are really purple. Based on the 2020 presidential election, they leaned red or blue only by slight margins: like 49% to 51%. If that's the case, the difference between many red and blue states wouldn't be all that pronounced.
-
As a child of divorce and a Georgian i dont want to be separated from my family again😢
-
Wouldn't it be nice if the US had an electoral system that meant that congress actually represented the diverse opinions of American voters so that people didn't feel that separation was the only way to have their voices heard.
-
Fun trivia: only four states do not have state level laws requiring the Pledge of Allegiance in public schools. Two are “red” states and two are “blue states”.

Mr.Beat you really remind me of my history professor last year. Even after 3 hours of talking he always wanted to add more
