1/ So Rush Limbaugh says liberals and conservatives can't co-exist, but we did, before the likes of him and other radio loudmouths came along, spinning the notion that the left was evil, trying to kill God, the country, white people, marriage, etc...he and his ilk are to blame...
2/ ...and fact is, we have no choice but to co-exist, however uneasily. There are no purely liberal or conservative states. There are plenty of liberals in he reddest states (usually in larger cities) and conservatives in the bluest. They have a right to live where they wish...
3/ how would the likes of Limbaugh suggest secession could even work? I live in TN. A red state w/a GOP super majority in the legislature. But Nashville, Memphis and Chattanooga (the engines of growth in the state btw) are blue, and Knoxville, though red has many liberals too..
4/ ...so who gets to claim TN? The rural & exurban folks w/ disproportionate power, or the city folk who are responsible for pretty much everything that keeps the state economy running, or attracts tourists? Folks don't come here to look at wheat fields & general stores, sorry...
5/ I also lived in Louisiana, a red state, but a state that relies almost entirely on New Orleans to keep it afloat with tourism revenue, taxes, etc. Folks don't come to LA for the Monroe Agricultural Expo...
6/ How would secession work when liberals and conservatives are sprinkled throughout every town? It wouldn't & Limbaugh knows this. He just doesn't care and is happy to burn the country down as his own pathetic life slips away. He wants his existential crisis to be ours. Fuck him
