I never met a Liberal or Socialist that I "needed" yet! They are CrAzY like Jack Nicholson in The Shining!
Great movie... until you're living with Jack, that is.

Although, it will never happen. Thank God.
Has very little to do with Trump. If you'd have asked me the same thing ten years ago, you'd have gotten the same answer.
Granted, the occurrences--referring to the behavior of the left--of the past four years have cemented that opinion, but it was there long before Trump.
Secession of any state would be problematic. Highlghting the economic hotspots oversimplifies things, as the right will also correctly point out that those locations don't have sufficient agricultural capacity to succeed on their own. The only states who would even stand a chance on their own - and it would be a long, hard and potentially unsuccessful effort - would be Calirornia and Texas because they are each large and diverse economies. But I don't think either of them would be better off on their own at the end of the day. At the end of the day, Adam Smith was right, and we need to each focus on the part of the overall economic output we are best at. Our economy is so interdependent we need to find a way througthe current crisis and continue to work together. We really do. I continue to have faith that it's possible.
I doubt that the nation that walks away with 70% of the GDP will have any problem buying wheat from Canada, beef from Australia, ... should the seceding states decide not to sale what they produce to the Remaining States of America.
You do understand that all the water and electricity for the blue dots comes from where the reds dots are are.
But yet, the great water projects were federal projects - the building of the great dams of the west, the dredging of our harbors and waterways, the interstate highway system. The TVA was a federal program. These were instances of the government stepping in when the private sector wasn't up to the job.

SO? No one is building new dams and the blue dots won't build power plants where they have to look at them so sll that 70% gdp is going to get chewed up buying electricity. Much as I would love to see it it's not going to happen..............
Isn't there an old saying that conservatives used to tout: "America: Love it or leave it!" What happened?
Conservatives lose an election, and all the sudden the Newsmax / Parler talking points are about using "divorce" instead of "secession" because it sounds more gentle to the American public. Call it what it is.
There is an even easier solution. If Trump supporters really hate what America is or has become, including the Democratic institutions that led to the election of Joe Biden, feel free to move to any of the other 192 countries that exist on this planet. There are several that are more right-leaning and authoritarian that you will fit right in with. Maybe Donald Trump can finally build Trump Tower Moscow to give a home to all his expatriated supporters. He could fund the construction with the donation dollars he suckered out of his followers, after he pays off his campaign debt of course. Win-win for everybody.

Yup, Russia will take them. Plenty of room: declining population, they hate gays and free elections too. They'll have to give up their guns though.

Conservatives own most of the country's land. No reason to give it all to the urban ghetto people.
