Right wing crazies are calling for civil war after the lawful execution of a search at Mar-A-Lago. Right wing crazies are usually off the grid on rational opinion, but they may have this one right. Maybe a little civil war might just be the antidote for what is wrong with America. That is if you consider that what is wrong with America is the 35% of us who are Trumpers. Remember, not every lobotomy was wrong.
So, ever since grade school I have had something of a love/hate relationship with math. The memory of my Dad behind me becoming wheezy at his inability to teach me what 9x6 was, or 8x7. I love to hate math. But even I recognize that sometimes you add when you subtract. Texas loves to throw out its desire to secede from the union. I happen to think that would be fine. A loss, but a gain. New math. 49 is better than 50. Texas, or Gilead, could still do its Handmaid Tale thing with the female population, it just wouldn't have US dollars supporting its existence. Show of hands, would anyone really miss them? As a show of good faith we'll even give them Arizona. When Houston gets too hot they can fly to Tuscon to cool off. Hey, this math thing is easy, 48 is better than 50.
Since most of the Jan 6 insurrectionists are in federal priuson by now, a civil war would bring out the rest of the deluded miscreants like that anti FBI terrorist last week who tried shooting up the Cincinnati FBI office. Weed out all of them, and now you are pretty much looking at normal USA again. After the Dominium lawsuit wipes out most of the little treasonous news sites, the Feds can file suit against Fox and declare them a terrorist organization, jail Hannity, Ingraham, Carlson, et al, and we'll be better off. Once we shut down the head of the snake, the cultists who aren't out shooting their AR-15s, and just sitting at home waiting for their next fix, will begin to wean away from their Trumpist views.
With day dreaming over, even hating Texas and Arizona and any other state that defies the Constitution needs to learn, not be jettisoned. Cultists need to awaken, not be kicked out. They are like our crazy uncles, stupid, idiotic and misguided, but still family. Let's keep the Union. Many Americans have died to keep it together and strong. This will pass.
