But Seriously, Folks

I think Americans are united in the knowledge that MTG doesn't know her ass from a hole in the ground, either.

How the hell does this "divorce" into "red" and "blue" states work, anyway?  Closed borders?  Passports?  What's the distinction between now and the imagined then?  A "weak" federal government that provides for the common defense (how?  By current taxation methods?) and puts bases in several states but, what, only in blue states or red states and only with permission do they transfer personnel/equipment from one to the other?  Interstate commerce but not "woke" interstate commerce like the Civil Rights Act (which is based on Congress's authority to control interstate commerce)?

You see how quickly it comes back to race?  Do red states get to refuse non-whites from their restaurants and stores and hotels, or even from their military bases? Do they get to bar LGBTQ from crossing their borders? To punish women who cross their borders seeking a legal abortion in a blue state?

And who settles disputes between states as to riparian rights?  The "weak" federal government?

This "idea" is so half-baked it's a joke to even discuss it.  It's like trying to seriously consider Scott Adams' argument that blacks are a "hate group" and Elmo's claim that there is "anti-white racism" afoot in America.

Some ideas are so stupid they don't merit the attention of explaining why they are stupid.
