"Who will accept losing the next elections? Odds are that neither the Left nor, now, the Right will accept it." The right holds no institutional power, so their rejection would come in the form of petulant weeping.

"defusing conflict between them by means of loosening relations between the states such that these become looser than existed prior to the Civil War." Sorry. As above, the Permanent Revolution is aware they can't allow separation.
