What was germany after ww2 then?

If the country is irrevocably broken how do you ensure a peaceful relationship when there's two?

    T bag loves a good wall. The problem every time secession comes up is it's not north vs south anymore, it's city versus rural. I live in a small city in one of the most conservative states in the US. My state voted for Trump by the highest margin in the nation, both times.

    From where I'm sitting right now on my porch, I can see two pride flags flying in my immediate neighborhood. Our mayor is a Democrat and she's actually not horrible.

    But if you go just a bit outside the city, those pride flags are replaced by traitor flags. You almost completely stop seeing nonwhite people, just a bit outside the tiny cities.

    It's not that bad everywhere, but if you think there aren't a shitload of bootlicking fascists in rural California you will be very surprised. 38% of the state voted for Trump. More than 15 Roughly 6 million Californians. EDIT- I mathed bad

    I don't know what's going to happen, but I doubt secession is in the cards for anyone unless the Union is dissolved.

    I like to remind people that 38% of votes is not 38% of the population approving of him. you have to consider that not all the eligible population voted, and those who are non-eligible likely aren't licking his boots either. closer to 15% of the CA population voted for Trump, just over 6 million votes.
