This is the second report on the Homeland Institute’s third poll which was conducted through November, 2023 on the topic of national divorce and a number of related issues.
The first report covered the issues of democracy, polarization and balkanization. This second part covers national divorce, redrawing state lines, and the public perception of the different levels of government. Here are some major highlights from Part 2:

Support for the federal government is abysmal, with only 19.5% of all respondents, 8.6% of Republicans, and 36.3% of Democrats at least somewhat agreeing that the federal government cares about their interests.

THE SIGNAL IS FASTER THAN LIGHT. IT DOES NOT DIMINISH WITH DISTANCE. IT IS NOT ELECTROMAGNETIC.
In 1966, Cleve Backster was the world's foremost expert on polygraph technology. He had developed the interrogation techniques used by the CIA, FBI, and U.S. military. He understood galvanic skin response — the electrical conductance of biological tissue — better than anyone alive.
One morning, on a whim, he attached polygraph electrodes to a Dracaena plant in his office. He watered it and watched the tracing. Then he thought: "I wonder what would happen if I threatened this plant." He decided to burn a leaf with a match.
The instant he formed the intention — before he moved, before he lit the match, before any ...
