America not good enough for you boys?

What's the story?

No, it's because socialists want to control us and we're sick of being controlled, but we don't have the manpower yet to wipe out socialist control in blue states (and thus liberate the whole country) and so were offering to go our separate ways peacefully before we chase the Leftists out of our territory by force like the Founders did to the British.

On the plus side, you'll be able to use the other gender's restroom and self-identify as whatever you want. If you elect to stop working, you can be subsidized by your new nanny state while you shoot heroin with government supplied needles and have gay sex with free condoms.
The 10 poorest states are in the south. So I'm all for splitting because they bring nothing to our economy. We have to pay for them. You can keep your salt, guns and large sodas while the blue states prosper.

Yea, were real scared.

But if you're feeling froggy, feel free to jump. I'll play.

How about stop controlling women and making it harder for them to get healthcare and abortions. Yeah, we are sick of being controlled too.... by republicans. That is not liberation for women. Blue states understand and fight for our rights. Red states don't.

You're only NOW realizing the Iraq War was entirely manufactured? That the WMD propaganda that convinced Americans to go to war -- a war that killed thousands of Americans and permanently maimed tens of thousands; that killed hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqi civilians; a war that we'll be paying for for decades -- you're just figuring out now that it was totally bogus?

I could have told you this back in 2003. Mind you, if I had, I bet you would have called me a "traitor." Like millions of others, you would have been enraged at the suggestion.

The "libs" aren't so clueless, after all, are they?

Yeah, it's too bad Hillary did win, she'd have put you in burkas!

Natalie, I usually like your posts, but you miss the mark with this one. The South brings quite a lot to the US, actually, and, in fact, it's the most populous region in the country.

It's all relative. What you might define as as a "blue" state isn't very blue to me. Trump and the GOP have tons of ardent supporters in all those "blue" states (as did Sarah Palin). There are plenty of guns in all those "blue" states (just look at how many mass shootings occurred in them). People drink plenty of soda, and there is no shortage of overweight, unhealthy people in all those "blue" states.

So, from my perspective, most "blue" states are, in fact, purple.

You're absolutely right, I shouldn't have mentioned guns because I have nothing against anyone owning one. But I don't see where some of the south brings anything to the US. Mississippi is the poorest state. And they depend on federal dollars to survive.
