My state would probably float by itself because it is part of the Northeast, but it's way too conservative to be really part of the Northeast, and too liberal to be part of the Midwest I'd say the old Confederacy would form again, Florida is a toss-up/ I'd say 51% chance it'd join the new Confederacy. Arizona would be included as well, and probably the Plains states too. The Pacific states would form their own country, and the Mountain States (excluding Arizona) would form their own country as well.

There are no states adjoining Alaska, so we would just pick on the Canadians as usual.

It's aleady like that lol. Texas and California are the heavyweights on the political spectrum here. You have ultra liberal California and ultra conservative Texas. And both have their little spots where conservatism/liberalism reigns supreme. Liberalism in Austin, and conservatism in Orange County, CA and Bakersfield, according to some accounts

Texas is in near as much debt as California and would probably lose the civil war because rednecks run the state capital of Texas and they have been known to lose at everything.

BTW Austin, Texas isn't liberal: it's authoritarian. Dallas, Texas takes the cake for true liberalism.


Here is the proof:

I'm also trying to figure out how to be funny about a topic that far too many think upon fondly in their warped and deluded fantasies, never taking into account that if we were ever to replay the civil war conducted with the level of carnage, another 6,140,000 Americans will be added to the butchers bill, just of entertainment.

I think another Civil War would not be like the last one at all. It would be more like Rwanda or the Balkans in the 1990's and you REALLY don't want that.

This is easy. Just look at the last Presidential election. The states where Obama won would be the SSA ( Socialist States of America). The states he lost would be the CSA( Confederate) or US of KKK..lol

I think the red states would win because they have a gun in one hand and a bible in the other.
