Res Ipsa Loquitor. Change Collective to Republic, kick out northern Virginia and the Tar Heels are in. Kentucky is in for their bourbon and the Run for the Roses. Maybe KS, NE, SD, ND, WY, and MT ought to come aboard for energy and agriculture.

Salubrious certainly.

If anything Kentucky is going to be with Ohio, Indiana, et al


Vast majority of the commonwealth’s population lives on the northern border.

I say put Texas with the Midwest and put Ark and La. with the rest of the southeast. Then we can enforce martial law in New Orleans , Baton Rouge, Jackson, Atlanta and straighten those places out.

There are already 50 borders of states that are legally sovereign political entities. "America" as a single large nation comprised of smaller provinces only referred to as states didn't exist as we know it now for the first part of the history of the United States.

Public education, however, doesn't teach this.

LA pulls its weight when TXLAARKOK shut down the outgoing O&G driving prices up 300% overnight. The other countries either pay or freeze and burn up and walk for transportation.

The globalists want strong nation states? I don't think so.

It doesn't matter how big the USA is. It's not working. The southeastern nation state seen in that map might work.

It'd be a terrible result for everyone involved. It's an intensely stupid premise.

Your solution would be to break up into smaller polities that could offer even less resistance to the 'globalists.'

Yup. Why does Texas get three welfare queens?



I appreciate your sentiment but with the western world handing out reparations and conservative voting dishing out justice and welfare reform in the new union I would say there would be a mass migration of ne'er-do-wells out west and up in the NE.

It would be a fricking dream true. Warm weather without culcha & rednecks feeding off the tit. Ole baws gonna have to put in work. Count me in.

As someone who used to live in TX and still work with many their citizens, I can say that outside of Dallas, Houston, Austin, and San Antonio... The average Texan hates your guts and would be pushing for your kind to kindly GTFO and go elsewhere.

TL;DR version: Hank, your philosophy and supported policies are what the average Texan/conservative doesn't want.

This is an incredibly interesting topic and believe it would be worth pursuing for several reasons. One possibility:

Primarily, those “progressive” places would bankrupt themselves within a generation. Afterwards, the “non-progressives” would acquire that area under conservative ideology and law. Thus, the original republic is restored in a very round about way.

Then, the process starts a new and in another 200 or so years another reformation plays out.

thats the trouble with the thread. enormous numbers of people within any of these regional entities have very different opinions and even goals for society than you do.

lexington and louisville.
vis a vis appalachia.

look how NW Ark is
regarded on TD.

Here is a link to a near death experience recounted on YouTube, wherein it is claimed that the experiencer was shown the future.

Apparently in 2061 the US separates into the United Northen and United Southern States. Then I’m 2063 China invades and the two countries are forced to ally themselves with both Canada and Mexico to fend off China.

This world war rages on for another 7 years until an armistice is reached, and future wars are fore sworn.

Near Death Shown the Future

Oh, also recounts that paper currency is forcefully changed into digital currency in 2026, then it reverts back again when Trump is elected to a 2nd term in 2028. Who will win 2024 then?!? Newsom?
