+35 Americans: sometimes you get so fed up with politics you wish that we could somehow split the country into two identical parts with conservatives on one side and liberals on the other, so each area could run their nation with relative peace without having to deal with the other. amirite?

Because splitting the nation between slavery and non-slavery worked so well too.

In this scenario they would literally be their own separate countries, not one country divided. But this is hypothetical anyway- I'm not actually proposing this as a valid idea just one to express my frustration with politics.

Because South Carolina's secession from the Union to become an independent country worked well also.

I realize there would be many problems with this idea hence me saying "I'm not actually proposing this as a valid idea". Did you just not read that part or..

Came here to say that. Definitely wouldn't work any better splitting modern political parties. Clearly it didn't work with old political parties

and then the two new countries break out into a war because they are now competing for political, economic, and military power over the world. I do not like this.

even if we split into two countries,wouldn't each of those countries still have an election, and probably split into two sub parties?

Yeah. A lot of liberals don't like Obama because he is moderate. He would become the new conservative and there would be radical liberals on the other side. Same with the Republicans. Conservative and Liberal are relative terms because nobody agrees on everything.

Wouldn't that just be like Korea?
