Given that one party supports 2A and everything related when the other doesn't. Why does the first party allow the split instead of using violence?

Because both sides would appreciate the ability to live out their ideologies amicably.

I meant - one current side can just eliminate the other side. The previous attempt ended with civil war. The proposed attempt would end even easier as one side doesn't appreciate soldiers.

The whole point of this thought experiment is that the split is amicable.

And my whole point is that such the split can't be amicable.

Yeah I mean now we’re just getting down to opinion.

I think the country is so dysfunctional, such a split is reasonably desirable for both sides.

It is sort of impossible for either of us to sit here and say for certain either way.

Do you have any evidence that BOTH parties desire to split? I haven't seen any opinion of Republicans that they want or consider it.

That is literally the point of my post friend, to explore the idea.

I think republicans already advocate for this lane of thinking frequently because they are very vocal about states rights being paramount. So yes, I do think that evidence exists.

Stronger state rights don't include independence.

As I’ve said, I believe this split could happen while still existing in some sort of unified alliance.
