Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) has once more tweeted that America needs “a peaceful national divorce.” According to Greene, the disparate responses to Charlie Kirk’s assassination has shown that the “country is too far gone and too far divided, and it’s no longer safe for any of us.”

Her pronouncement highlights a growing sentiment: the belief that red America and blue America can no longer live together. The solution, which 20 percent of Americans support according to one poll, is to divorce and go their separate ways.

But an American divorce will not be peaceful. There is no way to separate the country into a Redland and Blueland without tremendous violence. America needs a solution to our worsening polarization, but a national divorce is no solution at all.

The core argument for a national divorce is that red and blue America has irreconcilable differences. The two sides have grown further and further apart on nearly every issue: climate change, healthcare, public education, gay and transgender rights, immigration, gun control and more.

The resulting governmental dysfunction is so great and intractable, that it would be far........
