I think splitting the country is the best possible course. It isn't realistic but this country is completely polarized, we are just different types of people living in the same country. It's like having a roommate that you fucking hate, it just doesn't last. I also want to add i don't even think a major event, like a world war, would even bring the nation together at this point. We are that divided.
No question we'll make $ but what happens with a financial transaction tax? That's akin to having a crocodile alongside a duck.
