Geeze if the red states secede we'll have more people fleeing from them than we now have fleeing from south of the border. They'll have DeSantis, Abbott, Sarah Huckabee and a few others duke it out to see who will be the latter day Jefferson Davis.
Oh really? Shouldn't you be worried about how your listed city of San Diego is turning into an utter hellhole because of how you vote? San Diego is fast becoming Portland, San Francisco, etc.

If it's such a hellhole why do so many people move here that there isn't enough housing for all of them?
Cable pseudo-news needs to disappear, and people need to get a hobby if THAT is the reason people want to do this. We fought a civil war after secession which was STILL dumb and shameful, and that was when there was an actually good reason to separate/fight one another.
Republicans have no balls. The Democrats are trying to ram through DC and soon Puerto Rico statehood. Republicans must threaten to use the nuclear option of secession for all the states they control. GOP control quite a large number of state legislatures and governors.
If DC statehood passes as well as Puerto Rico, the GOP will never again have any chance of winning the house, senate or white house. GOP need to be taking this as an existential threat and use every weapon available.
Sadly, the GOP is spineless and likely wont do anything.
Balls is starting the Iraq war under false pretenses.
The GOP always has a chance as long as the Dems remain centrists focused on placating the same elites that the Republicans serve.
DC and Puerto Rico should have a right to statehood. Why should some areas of the country not get representation? Because you don’t like it? If you are afraid your beliefs don’t work in “the markets pace of ideas” then maybe they just suck and you should accept that you can’t get your way.

FromWikipedia
The District of Columbia's at-large congressional district is a congressional district based entirely of the District of Columbia. According to the U.S. Constitution, only states may be represented in the Congress of the United States. The District of Columbia is not a U.S. state and therefore has no voting representation. Instead, constituents in the district elect a non-voting delegate to the U.S. House of Representatives.
Sorry, you're aren't making DC a state so that the democrats have two more permanent votes, or Puerto Rico which would be 2 more permanent votes.
Better idea: merge DC into Virginia. Now you have representation.
