Reality is supposed to be Less Evil Than My Dystopia

 Gods, I hate being prescient.

I caught a host talking about this on the radio yesterday and went looking. https://www.businessinsider.com/majority-of-trump-voters-believe-its-time-to-secede-survey-finds-2021-10 The money quote: "More than half of the surveyed Trump voters — approximately 52% — said the "situation is such that I would favor [Blue/Red] states seceding from the union to form their own separate country." Approximately 41% of Biden-voting respondents answered similarly." Irony that those most in favor of making kids say the Pledge of Allegiance are the ones who don't believe in the Indivisible part. It's the 41% of Biden voters that is new and kind of scary in this poll. I can't say they are wrong. Let the half that want to move into the future go do so, and let those who want a libertarian theocracy have it. (FTR: I dropped the word "indivisible" when saying the Pledge of Allegiance decades ago.)
