You mean where the bulk of the population, money, jobs and votes are? Sure. If Eastern Washington wanted to join Idaho, I'm sure that could be arranged. We have the beautiful side.

Texas loves to talk about seceding, they can watch what happens when a country thinks they are more important than they are. I like Britain, I'm feeling really sad for them right now. A lot of people are going to lose their well paying jobs in global companies and banking.

Germany is the only thing propping up an EU that now has France, Italy and the Netherlands seeking exit referendums too.

Congrats UK! Definitely a blow to socialism. Do not worry about the lb. a low lb is good for export and it will rebound soon. I am eager to see a FRexit, GRexit, AUexit, SWexit, etc.

Start a #CALexit movement. California can go join Canada or Mexico... Take its looming debt and left wing politics and leave.

I wonder if Hillary and her shills are paying attention. This is going to happen in the U.S. Too.

This has little to do with socialism. It's elitism that took a blow. In a Socialist society everyone is looked after equally. That is not what was going on here.

There's plenty of people in Texas that would vote for its own exit, but I don't think DC would let us leave.

The EU was acting as a central power limiting the independence of each country. It acts the way our overreaching federal government does but 10000 x's worse.

A vote to leave is a vote to be a sovereign nation. It is a good argument for anti socialism.

You want to get rid of California? You are completely delusional. I don't live in California but I know their value. How about Coastal California, Portland and Western Washington all join Canada. Hope you don't miss all those delicious vegetables, technology and entertainment. We could lose Texas but California would be a huge loss.

You have my vote for Texas to leave, absolutely.

I think this is a perfect example of right wingers forcing a country to self-destruct. The least educated voted for this. If the right wingers broke up the U.S. I don't really fear for my state but a lot of states will be in a world of hurt.
