America is bigger than our political differences

And a separation would not be peaceful; it would be immensely difficult to divide a country of over 325 million people, across 3.8 million square miles, in a way that would satisfy its citizens.

There are conservatives and liberals in every state, just like every state contains both American history and American landmarks. We would be wholly unable to agree how to split the country up, and it would prove entirely destructive to all involved.

A split would be financially devastating. The United States is currently among the world’s strongest, wealthiest, and most stable countries. Such a split would not only leave individual bank accounts in ruins, it would be an extraordinary waste of money, it would throw world markets into chaos, and any newly created countries would be poorer than the United States is now.

Furthermore, our very existence makes the world safer and more stable.
