The problems with breaking up the country are multiple and painful, historically it was tried and failed because one side said "HELL NO, YOUR GONNA DO AS WE SAY!" and they had the force of arms to make it stick. At that point the breakdown was regional and actually had the easiest and best chance of a allowable split. Now the problem is rural versus urban and progressive versus conservative, and every state has both, and it's not like we can put walls around your cities and let you govern your cities like you want while we govern our rural areas like we want.

Just those nuts who care about things like "courtesy," "liberty," "privacy," and other outdated, obsolete concepts like that. /sbut then you demand that us rural folks abide by your urban decisions and rules of "You must allow this" and "You can't tell people that they can't do that" and if you want i can probably give you a half dozen examples right off the top of my head
