America should divide(pro) or develop a method of cutting down on the bipartisanship(con).

I will begin by combatting your idea. 1. You are not proposing any change 2. You claim everything is a cycle, I agree; however, America needs to get out of this cycle(hence, my idea). 3. Your idea of not really doing anything new just provides several temporary solutions. In the years following the split I propose, probably a decade, all of the new nations would have a sense of pride and unity with each other that will last. Now, for the support of my idea. 1. The way I chose the states for national placement was based on two factors, political parties and geographic position near continuous sections of people together. As of now, America has different zones which have different political parties. One cannot really dispute this. After the split, the countries would have primarily all the same political party. 2. This will help politically because: The democrat nations would support higher taxes and more government assistance, which is better than the compromise of today. The republican nations would support lower taxes and less government spending. This will work. All nations can get what they want in terms of military. Note: Your claim about the split between war and isolationism in WWI will be brought up at this point. These nations will not be split, at least as much, regarding going to war or abstaining from war. All nations get what they want in terms of energy and the environment. All nations get what they want in terms of becoming more trade oriented or more self dependent. All nations can get what they want in terms of regulation. The population of the nations would be more evenly spread so no overly large majority of the vote comes from one geographic region like last elections new England area. It was populous and weighed heavily in the elections which virtually eliminated the opinions of places like Oklahoma and Tennessee. Since all of the countries would be smaller, all parts of the country would feel closer to each other. Since there would be fewer states and each state makes up a larger percentage of the population, the federal government would become weaker which can solve many bipartisanship problems anyway. This plan helps the nations socially and culturally. In terms of guns, the republican nations can get less gun control which will reduce crime. The democrat nations can increase gun control which, if done thoroughly and correctly, can reduce crime as well. This is better than our middle of the road gun control. The nations can get what they want in terms of abortion and gays as opposed to being forced into adopting a principal based on just what one populous region wants. The states that are grouped together generally have many of the same religious denominations. Like A would be primarily Baptist. If you look at how different everything looks if you drive across America, it is already like there are different countries. The cities of the northeast. Hills and valleys of the southeast. Prairies of the Midwest. Mountains and desert toward the west coast. These areas are already completely different from each other in terms of life style. The only thing that is the same is the American flags. I would simply make more flags and change the borders. The rest would be up to the countries. This plan is economically feasible. All countries would have there own agricultural states. They all have sources of oil close to them. All of the countries would have most, if not all, of the things needed to industrialized if they so chose. All of the countries would have lasting alliances and trade partners, the old American country area, without having to adopt the political and social values of the other nations. Note: It is completely possible to have a peaceful split if we all just agree that this is what is best for the individual regions and states.
