A surprising number of Americans agree with Georgia firebrand Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene that the United States needs a 'national divorce' where red and blue states would separate, and the federal government would be shrunk.
Thirty-four percent of the 1,000 likely voters surveyed by Rasmussen Reports said they agree with Greene – but still 57 percent disagree with the premise.
When broken down by party, Republicans are split on the matter with just a 5 percent margin of those who agree and disagree, while even 26 percent of Democrats say they agree with the pro-Trump Republican congresswoman.

A shocking new poll shows that one-third of Americans agree with this sentiment from the Georgia Republican
On President's Day, the Trump acolyte was decidedly unimpressed with President Joe Biden's surprise visit to Ukraine, claiming in a tweet that it's time for the U.S. to be divided.
'We need a national divorce,' the Georgia Republican wrote on Twitter last Monday.
'We need to separate by red states and blue states and shrink the federal government,' she insisted. 'Everyone I talk to says this.'
'From the sick and disgusting woke culture issues shoved down our throats to the Democrat 's traitorous America Last policies, we are done,' Taylor Greene insisted of Republican sentiment toward the opposing party.
A majority of Democrats – 67 percent – say they are against MTG's idea, while 42 percent of republicans also disagree with her.
One-fourth of independent voters surveyed February 21-23 are in favor of a 'national divorce,' but 63 percent are against it.
Overall, 9 percent of all voters are not sure how they feel about the radical idea of splitting the country into Republican and Democratic states.
The last time the states separated based on ideology was the American Civil War which started on April 12, 1861 and ravaged the nation for more than four bloody years with an average of 500 deaths a day.
Recent polling shows deep polarization between red (Republican) and blue (Democratic) states. Rep. Marjorie Taylor Green (R-Ga.) wants a 'national divorce' between the two parties
But the sheer fact that more than one-third of the country is open to the potential, shows the growing sentiment of resentment voters feel toward the opposing party.
A lot goes into deciding whether a state is red or blue – like recent elections, current leaders and historical voting records of those living in the jurisdiction.
Currently, 29 of the 50 states are led by Republican governors, and 24 states have voted for Republicans in at least three or four of the last four presidential elections. When just taking into account the 2022 Senate elections, 27 states voted red.
All in all, the country would be pretty evenly split, with a slight lean toward Republican states outnumbering Democratic states. The population disparity would be huge, however, with the denser populated states leaning Democrat and ones with more land mass but fewer people leaning Republican.
Caro Oscar,
si, non può essere che sconvolgente quello che potrebbe accadere negli States, a oltre 150 anni dalla guerra di secessione…
E nel Paese che deve essere considerato tra i fondatori della democrazia stessa.
Ma non è che stiamo meglio in Italia, da sempre divisi in mille rivoli tra nord e sud, paesini a monte e paesini a valle, corporazioni, ricchi e poveri etc etc.
La divisione più pericolosa è, tuttavia, quella storico morale che si sta materializzando in questi giorni: provocata dal tentativo della destra estrema (e non liberale) che abbiamo per nostro demerito mandato al governo, di riscrivere non solo le radici (vergognose e violente) della sua storia, ma addirittura quel periodo della storia stessa del nostro Paese. Dando ormai - “poiché abbiamo o no ha vinto le elezioni” dicono - come risolto, superato, il problema delle sue origini (fasciste e anti democratiche) e inutile l’Antifascismo: poiché tanto il fascismo non c’è più.
Nulla di più errato e soprattutto di più pericoloso. Perché l’Antifascismo è il fondamento stesso della nostra Cultura civile, del nostro modello Costituzionale e della Democrazia, che abbiamo riconquistato dopo i vent’anni della dittatura. E quindi riscrivere la Storia e tentare di normalizzare da parte di QUESTA destra, gretta e nazionalista, le proprie radici malate, deve essere interpretato come un tentativo di perpetrare i disvalori e i comportamenti illiberali di quel periodo tragico stesso.
E di dividere ancor più l’Italia, in uno scontro tra una democrazia illiberale alla Orban, uno dei grandi amici della Meloni, e le (vere) democrazie occidentali .
