Marjorie Taylor Greene decided that the best way to celebrate President's Day would be to announce that the blue states and the red states needed to divorce.
A National Divorce
Greene hopped on Twitter to announce her controversial idea. “We need a national divorce,” she stated. “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 Democrat’s traitorous America Last policies, we are done.”
We need a national divorce.
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 Democrat’s traitorous America Last policies, we are… https://t.co/Azn8YF1UUy

Let's not forget that the last time states seceded from the United States, it started a long and bloody war.
Twitter Reacts
Twitter users were not shy about sharing their opinion of Greene's claim.
One user pointed out that before the Civil War, the United States didn't have a Constitution or representation, and they were under rule by a foreign king. The user pointed out that we have both a Constitution and representation now, so there is no need for the country to split again.
We were the colony of a foreign king, without a Constitution or representation. For all the flaws our government may have, we have both now, and I've sworn to protect that Constitution against all enemies. Nothing we face requires bring our nation to an end. We need leadership.

Another user claimed that this type of division is what China and Russia are hoping for, and suggested that they might have agents in both parties already, sowing discord.
This is literally what China and Russia want. 🤔
I wonder if they infiltrated both major parties already…— JC Mounduix (@JCMounduix) February 20, 2023
Another user said that Greene's claim was akin to treason, and anyone who shared her beliefs should have their citizenship revoked.
This is treasonous. Period.

The same user claimed in a separate tweet that the United States needs another Reconstruction period where U.S. troops would occupy areas of the country to prevent another incident like January 6th.
Actually We need a new Reconstruction Period with US troops occupying the rebel areas to prevent another Jan 6.

Another user claimed that politics itself is the root of the evil in this country, and that dismantling the current political system would fix a lot of the issues in the country.
All the red vs blue shit is tired.
Politics doesn't work, it's simply the illusion of choice.
You're all puppets and it shouldn't be about division or rotating broken ideologies.
It should be about totally dismantling the rotten political system to end Machiavellian tribalism.
