0,47 * 0,59 = 28% of US voters, which is higher than the percentage of far-right MEPs in europe, but not by much.

> higher than the percentage of far-right MEPs in europe

not hard as that's 0%

If there is no one to your right, it's probably because you yourself are at the right extreme.

that opinion doesn't make any MEP far-right

Neither can you just assert that there are no far-right members of parliament.

And that is why I wish this country would split. I cannot live with people (Mostly republicans) who want to use force against immigrants. These people (mostly republicans) do not want to live with me. I wish we could live in different countries.

Splitting is worse than surrender.

That's what states are for.

For whom?

From the news outside looking in, it seems like red states hate it when the blue states have power, the blue states hate it when the red states have power.

Plus more complexity for districts and gerrymandering, but there are predominantly red and predominantly blue states.

Unfortunately some bat shit crazy states (like TExas) wants to send their troops to "pacify" the natives in Minnesota. That is why I wish Texas (along with all lunatic republican states) band into one country, screw themselves and leave us alone.
