    God I would love the blue states to pull away so we can watch the red states cannibalize each other.

    They need us. We definitely don’t need them.

        I think she’s still pretty popular with her voters, even if the party is less than thrilled. Bobo is a different story

    I’d love to see that and laugh my ass off

    Red states aren’t capable of feeding their own population without cash from the blue states. A split would immediately result in a world power and a theocratic third world country which would make African countries organize a “we are the world” to help and feed the hungry there.

      Red states sole economy is usually only Tourism, and soybeans/alfalfa and maybe milk/chicken, and this heavily relies on Immigrant labor 100%, and its prone and susceptible to disruption.

    What’s up with her saying things I agree with lately?

    We need at least to be split into two countries if not more. There is no reconciliation possible at this point.

        Well as long as we’re saying the federal government has too much power, yes, it obviously does.

        balkanization. blue states form a coalition with the other blue states, and red can ally with themselves, and ask russia for assistance. and the first step of legislation is expelling the GOP from the blue states.

          As a non-American, speaking on behalf of quite a number of other non-Americans, we’re fine with balkanization. Fuck with each other for a few decades, for a change.

        Basically middle america and the south could be a country and then the eastern seaboard and the west coast could be their own countries as well.

      Isn’t almost every state basically a 50/50 split only slightly leaning one way or the other with the majority of each faction separated by urban and rural/suburban living? Hell, Texas has the second largest LGBT population in the country.

        Gay people don’t decide where to get born!! Gay population is almost a direct function of population, and Texas is the second most populous state, so of course they have the second most number of gay people.

    If the confederacy gets to keep the military industrial complex in the divorce (which I guess they will because it gives them a hard peepee) they’ll be invading the union in no time, because they have no income to speak of.

    Use the mississippi river, then go straight east to D.C. Anyone that identifies as Republican leaders are anti-American. Everyone else is American. Easy fix
