No, It Is a Comedy Routine, Jemelle.

 One of the more likable NYT columnists tells us about the newest ... rising star! in the conservative (what passes for) young Republican circles today.  It's funny, but don't laugh if you're not in a safe place.

If you are though -- and it's all good where you are at? =Civil rights protections still matter. -- Feel free to laugh openly, and find release...

And how will this national divorce work in practice? Greene says that “red” states and “blue” states will simply go their separate ways.

On education, for example, “Red states would likely ban all gender lies and confusing theories, Drag Queen story times, and L.G.B.T.Q. indoctrinating teachers, and China’s money and influence in our education while blue states could have government-controlled gender transition schools.”

On gun policy, in red states, “law abiding gun owners wouldn’t go to jail for shooting an attacker” while in blue states, “the left could achieve their dreams of total and complete lawlessness.”

The federal government would still exist, Greene explains, but it would be a minimal state, devoted to border security and defense — an update, of sorts, of America under the Articles of Confederation. Everything else would be up to the discretion of the states, including voting and elections.

“In red states,” Greene wrote, “they would likely pursue one day elections with paper ballots and require voter ID with only the red state citizens or even red state tax payers voting. And blue states would be free to allow illegal aliens from all over the world to vote freely and frequently in their elections like the D.C. City Council wants. Dead people could still vote. Criminals in jail could vote that is if blue states even have jails or prisons anymore.”

You can probably tell, from the substance of Greene’s comments, that this “national divorce” is more paranoid fantasy than serious proposal.
