All of theese troublesome areas would be better if we had been allowed to continue Reconstruction.

Gerrymandering? Somewhat inevitable but driven to extremes by white america's intense need to dilute the voting power of blacks.

Post-realignment Republicanism? A mechanism of Revenge by lost-causers who are unable to accept that hteir great-great-great-grandfathers were ponces who could not stand in the line-of-battle against hordes of unwashed irishmen and krauts.

We keep fighting the Civil War over and over again in increasingly arcane arenas. The solution to this is not to give the confederates what they want, but to crush them.

Considering there's about 7 Billion people on this planet at the moment, this is a good thing.

We can readily support twice that many people once we implement Communism, friend.

I was looking forward to communism because of the gulags and mass killings, this isn't what I asked for.

The first lesson of Communism is that we cannot always get what we want.

If you want grandiose, pie-in-the-sky, never-gonna happen geopolitical solutions to america's political ills, balkanization isn't the coolest hypothetical. What you should actually fantasize about is gerrymandering the state borders so as to decrease the disproportionate political influence of rural and suburban whites.

Carve a couple of states out of the southron Black Belt so that the long-oppressed blackfolks in the region can finally elect their own representation and goverment. Make Atlanta and Miami into city-states. Cram the whitest contiguous parts of the South (including missouri and little egypt) together into one Greater Dixieland state so they only get to elect two senators. Do the same with the Rocky Mountain States and the High Plains. Etc.
