People Think Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene Is ‘Calling For Civil War’ With New Twitter Poll
Critics accused Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-Ga.) of calling for civil war with her latest provocative tweet.
The conspiracy-peddling lawmaker polled her 448,300 Twitter followers Monday on whether they thought America should “have a national divorce.” She offered them three answers: “Yes, by R & D states”; “No, stay together;” and “Undecided.”
Should America have a national divorce?

As of Tuesday morning, more than half of 13,892 respondents said the United States should divorce. Around 38% were against the idea and 10% were undecided.
Some commenters said Greene, a Donald Trump loyalist who has a history of pushing racist conspiracies, was inciting violence with her post. Others pointed out why splitting America won’t work.
Are you suggesting civil war for real?

There's no such thing as a Red or Bue state. Each state is a mixture of both, even within families.

How will Red States financially support themselves without Blue States contributions?

Red states could not support themselves without the federal tax dollars paid by blue states. Be careful what you wish for Magda.

I know this is difficult stuff but our country is named the United States of America. Get it, United? You should work to unite instead of divide.
