Considering half of voters voted for him, which is like 1/4 of the country, I don’t know if that’s enough people to support a revolution. Especially given the geographic distribution.
Red states are brain-draining people fast enough, blue cities are where all the hospitals and infrastructure are, and that’s all being defunded rapidly. Can you imagine what it would be like if droves of medical and other professionals just left red states - shuttering hospitals and colleges and the like.
When conservatives say “I wish we could just split the country and then we’d prove how our policies are better” I always picture the scenario of them wandering around, trying to get cancer treatment or an MRI.
When do conservatives say that? I’m all for it. Let’s do it.
They don’t say that because they know their backwoods dead shitholes have no economy and no money. They need california and states like it, as much as they love to talk shit about, since it pays for their welfare state.
My rule of thumb is if you don’t have enough people to win the vote, you don’t have enough people to overthrow the government.
I really hope that theory isn’t put to the test.

China and Russia can’t do it. The republicans in the US have figured that out, and now it’s our turn. Hopefully we do better. We’ll see.
