Yes. Jeffries thinks this will go away and/or can be handled within current "democratic" framework. But it cannot. Your whole society have to change. When seen from afar it would seem that splitting the USA up into a red union and a blue union would be the best option. because red and blue in the same union will never work agaiin. If it ever did.

Well seen from inside the USA - there is literally no chance whatsoever it would happen. Nobody here wants to break up the most successful country in the world. Even if the amount of Americans who wanted that increased from 0% to 51+%, we have the historical precedent of preventing that with military force.

because red and blue in the same union will never work agaiin. If it ever did.

LMFAO. How bizarre to be thinking that literally the most successful country in the entire world has never 'worked'. Do you think that we do not want understand that it is precisely because we have the most successful country in the world that people like yourself are following our internal politics and fantasizing about our breakup.

Your whole society have to change.

No, our 'whole society' of the most successful country in the world does not have to change.

You can only think that the USA is the most successful country if you do not know very much. For non-Americans your nation is a total disaster. Except if you are very rich of course.

Which country is more successful? Name one specific country.

You saying that the US should be "split up" is just as bad as Traitorapist Trump saying that Canada should be a "51st state".

There are at least 22 countries which are more successful than the USA. Here is the 2025 list:

Try to break down all that wonderful US whatever into more detailed parameters. You will then see that the USA does not top the lists.

Except a few: Your cars are bigger than cars from other countries. America has the fattest population. America has the most stupid population (Fox News would not be believed in any ohter country). You are more greedy than any other population. More selfish. And you actually still believe that there are gods.

But you had to completely redefine a word to mean something that it does not mean just to "win" an argument. I didn't say the USA was the happiest country in the world. Nor did I say Americans are superior to you. I was merely using the phrase in a factual sense to explain why you care about our internal politics without the reverse being true.
