Is the recommendation by U.S. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, R-Ga., for a “national divorce” already happening?
“We need a national divorce,” Greene, the Georgia Republican posted on social media a few weeks ago. “We need to separate by red states and blue states and shrink the federal government. Everyone I talk to says this. From the sick and disgusting woke culture issues shoved down our throats to the Democrats’ traitorous America Last policies, we are done.”
“A new analysis of Census Bureau data shows that since the 2020 election year, nearly 2.6 million have moved out of counties won by President Joe Biden and into those won by former President Donald Trump,” [Paul Bedard] explained.
The analysis, from Issues and Insights, notes, “More than 61% of the counties that voted for Biden in 2020 lost population, while 65% of Trump-supporting counties gained population.”
Bedard noted, “Greene … has been calling for a red-blue ‘divorce’ that would cool the nation’s political anger by keeping like-minded people together. She has not advocated any ‘civil war’ and has gone out of her way to explain the continued need for a national government and military.”
