Who else are we gonna take

No one.
Doing so epitomizes the phrase, out of the frying pan, into the fire.
Our political, cultural, and economic issues are our own; and it’s time to part ways.
But I think I’ve mentioned my position on this topic a time or two.

So essentially recreating the confederacy. This is your best idea.

What could go wrong?!?

Add VA, the oldest southern state, to that group. We would need to drive a few million people out of Northern Virginia and take DC so the Yankees don't have it. Might as well add Maryland so our capital is safe.

Doesn't even need to be that many. Tan, red, orange, and gray make 1. Northern CA, eastern Oregon, eastern washington, all of Virginia outside of NOVA, western PA, and the western panhandle of Maryland go to the new large middle group.

The Mississippi river drains 1/3 of the continental U.S.A.

With control of the mouth of that river comes great leverage.

West Virginia belongs with the orange southeast. And probably should just combine Texas, ok, ar and Louisiana with us too.

People forgot what this country was founded on.

*It wasn't a big all powerful Federal government in DC.

We don't need an EU style federation we need a federal Republic as envisioned by the US Constitution with the States being supreme and the feds having minimal power.

Why not just drop the two blue and the pale blue\whiteish one.

Its where most of the food is grown and oil and gas is. It would be nice to have a corridor to the pacific but if the blue states wont sell maybe Mexico would sell a mile wide strip.

I would 100% be on board with that map if Texas has control over LA, Arkansas, and Oklahoma governments.

It would fix them in a heartbeat. And we’d be set for energy, tourism, and trade.

We could end the desire of progs to migrate with laws against all they hold dear.

And so Texas doesnt bitch about being the new countries wallet lets just do away with all forms of welfare. If you want free shite move to the blue states.
