The US isn’t composed of geographically well-defined socio-ethnoc groups. There’s no bright line you can draw between Liberals and Conservatives, as evidenced by the number of “swing” states and the absurd lines you have to draw in order to gerrymander populations.
Lincoln was right. We’re a nation that can be one thing or another. But a divide will not stand. Trying to put Texas and California and New York and Florida into separate counties won’t work any better today than it did in the 18th century.
Guess which state has the largest population of Republicans. Now guess the state that donates the most to the GOP. Now guess the state whose residents make to the highest percentage of Trump’s cabinet.
I don’t think anyone was looking for a savior. I was just indicating that there are some states that are neatly divisible with aligned views and values: those on the West Coast.
It likely won’t happen for various reasons anyway, but it’s a pleasant thought.
Again, the state is full of Republicans, many of whom are heavily influential in liberal politics. That’s why you had Gavin Newsom doing podcasts with Charlie Kirk and Steve Bannon to begin with.
These aren’t neatly divisible. Republicans and Democrats live next door to one another.
To be blunt, I don’t want MAGATs as my neighbors. Would happily have illegal immigrants instead, they value civilization and just want to live out a positive peace. The same cannot be said of the Republican, who exists to ruin life for everyone else.
There is a world of cultural difference between NY residents, Texas residents, and Oregon residents.
There is a world of difference between Houston’s Third Ward, River Oaks, and Spring. Nevermind the difference between Sugar Land, The Woodlands, and Pearland. Or Austin, San Antonio, and San Angelo.
Where do you draw the line? Even Republican gerrymandering experts struggle with this question.
In fact, there’s about 5 distinct socio-economic regions in the US.

The West Coast could be its own country. I’d be completely fine with that.

What a weird way to just say California is the most populous state. Guess which state has the most Democrats, leftists, and liberals. Also California!
Liberals in California are as owned by the corporate sector as their conservative peers.
Gavin Newsom isn’t coming to save you.

Well you are wrong and naive.
Nah I’m not. They’re building multi state accords on a number of issues.
But keep on trucking with the bullshit bud.

Dude, I live in California. I know there’s Republicans here. You aren’t blowing my mind with this. They’re some of the biggest whiners in the state.
If, by some miracle, the coast became its own country they’d likely find the nearest exit.
You say that as if it is a bad thing…

Generations of Republicans have been threatening to leave California since the 1980s
Split it up and force the Nazis to move to their new christofacist kingdom
That’s not true, like at all.

Far more than that, if you’re looking closely
No, its really about 5, distinct, socioeconomic regions in the US.
For example, the Great Lakes Region, the Pacific Northwest, Plains Region, etc.
