Can the US already just split?
Red states can be the United States of America, a third world shit hole country that can't even feed its own citizens, rampant poverty and all of it based on racism and extremist religion
Blue states can make a new Country, FFS call it something not too "braggy" as Americans tend to do. This country can become one of the wealthiest counties in the world with great education, great freehealthcare, everyone being taken care of through extensive social safety nets. Also it would have all the nukes because nobody wants a religious end time cult with nukes.
I seriously don't see how this sad excuse of a country can continue like this.
It’s unfortunately not that simple. The bulk of America’s farmland is in red states, so blue states on their own wouldn’t be able to feed their populations. Plus, red states tend not to have the biggest trade cities in the country, so they’d be choked in trade on their own. Also, all states break down into blue and red counties. Basically, if you’re a rural county, you tend to be red, and if you’re an urban or sub-urban county, you tend to be blue. So, even red states have plenty of democrats in them and vice versa.
It worked out so well for the Balkans...
