One year after donald trump was elected president, and its almost as if the united states has
split up into two separate countries.
One that is predominantly republican with traditional values, and the other democrats,
progressives who value social justice and diversity.
Each side does not understand the other.
Republicans call liberals social justice warrior snowflakes who push impossible utopian ideals.
And liberals view republicans as bigots, racists and hicks.
A year into the presidency that divided the nation and Each is no closer to understanding
the other.
As a biproduct, Its becoming increasingly more difficult to agree on issues that require
the government to act, and the united states is not coming together as a country.
The environment is being ignored, One has to wonder, what would happen if America decided
it was easier to become two separate countries.
Today, life's biggest questions asks, what if America split up?

Back when Abraham Lincoln was president, he struggled with trying to unify a country who's
inhabitants felt as though they had irreconcilable differences.
Back then, If you disagreed with the government, all you had to do was move away from Washington
to the west.
That is no longer an option, and now the United States and its inhabitants are again approaching
irreconcilable differences Conservatives are traditionalists.
They value family, hard work, religion, traditional values.
Progressives value humanism, socialism, diversity, social justice, income equality and feminism.
If the United States split up into two separate countries, each nation would have a government
that suits the needs of its people.
There would be pros and cons to both systems of government.
The progressives would enjoy things like free, government-funded abortions.
Firearms would be banned, and owning a gun would be a privilege reserved for authorities.
Gun related crime would be a lot more uncommon in this country.
Progressives would pay far more taxes, but receive a basic living wage, free healthcare
and free post-secondary education.
The government would regulate the economy, and permit all immigrants and refugees to
enter the country.
Greenhouse gas emissions would be regulated, the environment would be a top concern in
this country and clean energy would be the norm.
The conservative country would enjoy a free market.
Post-secondary institutions as well as health care would be private.
Taxes would be low, most would have a higher income.
There would be no government infrastructure provided for the poor or the sick, or if there
is ever a natural disaster.
Many red states are the ones that require government aide after hurricanes.
Yes, the populace would have more money, but they would not be as healthy as the progressives.
Refugees and immigrants would be expelled, and no longer allowed in the country.
Minorities would leave the red country both by choice as well as not by choice.
It is to be expected that those who represent the far right would make it increasingly difficult
for minorities in this conservative country.
Furthermore, the environment would not be a top concern in this country.
There would be no government regulation of greenhouse gases, oil, coal or gas production.
Yes, there would be plenty of high paying jobs in the energy sector, but those high
paying jobs will have to pay for the health problems that will arise from a country with
heavy pollution.
So what did we learn?
Despite the irreconcilable differences, it's the balance between the conservatives and
the progressives that's necessary for the United States to function as one country.
Progressives need to be able to tax a large body of hard workers.
If those workers didn't exist, they would have no one to tax, and would not be able
to provide a living wage or other government funded programs.
Businesses would not want to remain in a country where the government regulated the economy.
The vast majority of america's weath is earned in big, blue cities like new york and
los Angeles but Businesses and manufacturers would likely leave the progressive country
in search of a country with a free market system.
On the flip side of things, statistics show that red states are nearly twice as dependent
on the federal government as blue states.
20 of the 26 states that were most dependent on federal aid voted for Donald trump in the
2016 election.
Many of the states that need government programs the most, are republican states.
Of course, the united states will not split up, no matter how much each side bickers back
and forth.
Each side needs the other, and the sooner that they both realize that, the sooner America
can move forward as one country.
What do you think would happen if America split up?
