re: Why does the left get so triggered when secession is brought up?

Wow, how heavy are those goalposts?

Take a look at which states have the largest GDP. Take a look at which states are most dependent on the federal government.

The only red states that are worth a damn from a production standpoint are Texas and Florida and both of those states are damn near purple and would never secede.

If MS, LA, AL, AR wanted to create their own nation - strictly from a production standpoint - the US government would say "Great, we are much better off. Those states were a negative to us financially. They took way more from us than they provided."

You think you're going to be able to create a map that cuts out big cities? Cool. Follow link below and tell me which of these counties are going to join your new country? Then tell me how in the world your new country is going to be able to support itself without the vast majority of these cities.
