re: How do we divorce ourselves from the Democrats?

Funny, I've been thinking about a scenario in which liberal cities stuck in red states declare independence from those states and request the protection of the federal government. The way things are going, I could see this happening in places like Miami or New Orleans.

While this scenario isn't likely, it does seem way more plausible to me than red cities separating from blue states. Hell, I can't even think of an example of a red city in a blue state.
