We the people...those people

Why can't we have two Americas, one for them and one for us?

I don't necessarily mean north and south like The Civil War and a hundred some years after that (though it could break down as such) but instead, a "we the people" and "those others" that just don't get it.

We the people could, for example, retain the Affordable Care Act and have affordable care and the others could go back to sky-high premiums and getting stripped of coverage when they get sick. That seems to be what they want.

We the people could have our net neutrality and those people could pay waaaaaay more for less and for sloooooower connections. They seem to want that too.

We the people could marry whoever we want. Those others could continue to limit marriage to one man/one woman. Sisters would still be women.

We the people could enjoy a strong but slimmed down military and those others could have open carry and militias.

We the people could continue a separation of church and state, as well as welcoming all religions. Those others could battle to see which branch of Christianity would rule.

We the people could enjoy competitive wages with safety nets for the less-advantaged. Those people could fill prisons with debtors and put children to work. Target practice? Hunger games?

These and other discrepancies don't really make for coexistence among neighbors though so it might be best if those people move. They'd probably go south, the natural direction of thoughts and morals when people are so easily filled with hate and violence. I say go ahead. Seek your corporate, republican, Xtian paradise. Let us know how it works out for you. We should probably build a wall though and not bother to leave a light on for them. Those people are already gone in spirit and in thought.
