Civil War Part Two: This Time It's Personal

Perhaps we should just skip the sociopolitical evolution (or devolution) of the next 20 to 40 years and just set off Civil War Part II: This Time It's Personal immediately.

I'm only half-way joking.

We have a situation where there are 312 million Americans split nearly down the middle by politics and worldview, and the more I hear from both sides, the more I get the sense that neither wants to be countrymen to the other. So why keep up the charade? America is large enough to split in two. I'm not advocating sedition here, I am asking an honest question.

What is the point of an America that doesn't want half of it's citizens to vote? I say it may be time to cut the umbilical and see if the half that doesn't believe in science, government, public education, immigration and social mobility can fend for itself...
