Interesting that more democrats in the west coast/northeast want to secede.


You're not using the proper context. In the Pacific Northwest, the vast majority want to secede from their current state.

Example: Greater Idaho, California to 6 states, splitting Washington in two, breaking Multnomah County away from the rest of Oregon.

Oh, I'm a good old rebel
Now that's just what I am
And for this yankee union
I do no give a damn.

I'm glad I fought agin 'er
I only wish we'd won
And I ain't asked any pardon
For anything I done...

I think it's time that we move on from this experiment called The United States of America.

Exactly..yeah, they hate us but can’t live without us while we are fine with whatever craziness ( open borders, transgender domination of girls sports, becoming China’s lapdog) they want as long as they stay away from our “culture” of religion and family. The Dems are like a crazy ex that will not stop stalking us until they try to kill us.

The left elected a woman who is fricking her brother.

The left believes someone with a dick who thinks he’s a woman is brave, not mentally ill.

The left is viciously going after the 1st and 2nd amendments to the constitution. I can’t think of anything the right has done more radical than this.

Yes conservatives are religious. They have way less 18th century lesbian poetry doctorates vs liberals. There are very few on the right with masters in gender studies. The illusion that intelligence can only be measured in secondary learning institutions is nonsense.

Yeah, those damn far right extremists rioting for 5 months, causing over $1 billion in damage, ruining thousands of livelihoods and killing dozens.

If ONLY 50% of Repubs in the South are interested in secession, secession in any form has zero chance of ever being passed by the voters. Zero.

In this, you're correct.

However, the ruling fabric in California are very organised, well developed companies with solid marketing and control, who are centrists that tend to vote Republican.

Low key, efficient.

Show up for all the bullshite events, to ensure that no one's offended, then get back to work.

So why not let us secede?

Especially if the majority of the south wants to?

We are wholly and completely incompatible with the Yankee north and it is not going to get any better.

I agree, but if the southern states were to do it, we may want to position ourselves better in a military sense ahead of time.

I’d be happy as a puppy with 2 peters if the northeast and pacific states disappeared.

Don't lump all Yankee's in a barrel. I was raised in the NE , educated (college) in Texas, worked in the NE. Retired in Florida. No not Ft Lauderdale or Miami. I hold dearly Southern values. From politics, religion, 2nd Amendment, family. Even the food! I support Secession 100 %!
Though my accent may be different I love HS and College football, I believe in God with all my heart! I'm a Born again Christian.
I left the Soy Boys mentality after spending 4 years in Texas. I don't believe I ever had the affliction!
Their are more of us than you might believe.

Talk talk talk. That’s all it is. Talk. No one will ever do anything about the issues at hand. Because people have lives. They have jobs. They have families to support. The problem with going against the grain is that people have to much to lose to risk with the inevitable backfire or cancel culture.
