    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.

        That’s what they want, though. They (the rich leaders) can always go elsewhere for medical care.

        Their constituents, on the other hand, suffer the full brunt of it, and so end up poor, uneducated, with even minor illnesses causing major issues. So they are constantly too busy trying to survive to fight back, and too poorly educated to realize they should.
