Why a national divorce and not an urban one. Geographically speaking most of America just wants to be left alone. After all all, the craziest, insane, and loudest complaints are from these urban populations.

I propose, they build a big beautiful wall around these cities to keep out gun clutching Bible thumpers that they they claim are threaten their way of life. Then they can stop gun trafficking, limit exposure to free speech, and shrink all exercise of individual rights to with in such liberties as they deem acceptable.

Then we can just watch from a distance as their ideas reach a new manifest destiny.

I am not an american, so i have more or less a view from the spectator seat, but i find it interesting how long this divide between the citites and "everyone else" seems to exist... i can remember being around in some "special" forum back in the late 90s or early 00s when a guy calling himself John Titor did forsee a coming civil war in the US not between states, but more or less between the city dwelling populous and the countryside.

Ok, the guy also claimed to be a time traveller, but nevertheless an interesting insight in the american psyche...

I'd like the city walls to be high and thick enough to protect the cities from all the nuclear MIRV ICBMs that will target surrounding rural areas.

Sure that's a good story to scare them into paying for it. We could call it the Tom Sawyer protective act.

After the bombs go off, just cover it with a concrete dome

It'll "protect them" from nuclear fallout
