Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has once again ignited fierce debate by advocating for a “national divorce,” reviving her proposal in the wake of the tragic assassination of conservative activist Charlie Kirk. Greene’s statements, delivered publicly after Kirk’s death at a Utah Valley University event, reflected deep frustration with the existing political divide and called for a partition of the country along partisan lines. Her argument points to an environment in which she says conservatives are no longer safe, spotlighting the disturbing celebration of violence by many on the Left. Such rhetoric, though controversial, finds resonance with a growing base of Americans sick of enduring attacks—literal and figurative—by radical progressives.
For years, Greene’s pronouncements on national separation have drawn sharp criticism, including opposition from fellow Republicans. Still, her latest call, spurred by Kirk’s assassination, has placed questions of national unity and the future of federal governance at the center of political discourse. Greene points out that conservatives have become targets not just for their ideas, but simply for existing in the public square. The fact that some on the Left openly celebrated Kirk’s murder and harassed his supporters afterward illustrates how far civil debate has fallen. At what point, Greene asks, do patriots draw a line in the sand and demand protection, both cultural and physical, for their families, faith, and values?
Many Americans—especially those in so-called “red states”—see Greene’s comments as the logical outcome of decades of unchecked left-wing encroachment. While critics often scoff at the idea of a peaceful separation, the reality is that progressive domination of media, academia, and even the justice system has left millions feeling disenfranchised. The traditional American family, faith in God, and belief in limited government are all under open assault, prompting calls to reduce federal power and reclaim state sovereignty. Greene’s appeal to turn toward faith, defend communities, and prioritize self-preservation is not just rhetoric; it taps a wellspring of conservative energy seeking to restore the foundations that made America strong.
Historically, talk of national divorce has been met with warnings about the impossibility of peaceful division, given Americans’ deep interconnections. Yet Greene’s critics ignore the fact that foundational principles—the ones now ridiculed in liberal circles—are non-negotiable. Conservatives want no part of the “woke” cultural agenda, bloated government, or policies that prioritize global interests over American livelihoods. For those who have watched their values trampled year after year, Greene’s proposal is less about division and more about survival. The Left’s open hostility leaves little room for compromise, making reconciliation seem ever more remote.
Ultimately, Greene’s renewed push for a national divorce following Kirk’s assassination underscores the increasingly bitter struggle for America’s soul. While practical hurdles to secession remain immense, the conversation has moved far beyond mere symbolism. Conservatives are demanding real solutions to restore safety, sanity, and sovereignty. Whether by reforming federal powers or strengthening state autonomy, the public appetite for resistance to progressive excesses is only growing. Greene’s words, though provocative, reflect the sense that unity cannot be forced where the core values have become irreconcilable. As Americans reckon with the implications, the time may be fast approaching when simply moving across state lines is not enough to defend the principles that define the nation.
