Fine. If you’re a right wing nut move south.
-
Trump actually isn't very popular in the South today.
His strongest remaining support is in the two top coal-mining states --- Wyoming and West Virginia --- and Idaho. None of those are in the South.
The Economist's net approval map is interactive --- you can click on it to get numbers --- and I can't put that in this post, but here's a screenshot showing the colors:

He would still win if there was an election today. Even though they don't like Trump, they'd still vote party line.
-
Great.
But the south has a fucking hard-on for absolutely fucking imbecilic, racist, xenophobic Republicans. So, you know, have fun with that.
I would be stoked if the actually productive and cosmopolitan states could shed the dead weight of the fucking confeds (and the handful of “frontier” states that think they could swing it without federal support - spoiler alert, they absolutely cannot), and then just make some sort of agricultural deal with Canada and Mexico to make up for the flyover states being the People’s Republic of Supply Side Jesus, and let them see how that pans out for a few decades. I’m fucking done giving a shit about the parts of the country that are so far up their own asshole that they don’t understand they’re voting against their own best interests.

Damn, Maryland is pissed
Also I really hate those square maps, they make the Midwest a jumbled mess.
-
Unfortunately though, if you toggle the switch to "2024 Voters", the map gets less red (Red indicating underwater in approval rating, grey being positive - for anyone that didn't play with the map.) Those haters need to vote!
-
-
I guess fuck everyone in Atlanta, Memphis, Austin, New Orleans, or any other city in the south, right?
-
Yep. You called it. Good luck.
-
Look we’re going to make sure there’s plenty of room for you here because we’re going to persuasively ask the Nazis to leave. I’m sure New Orleans and Atlanta will have strongholds in the cities but again there’s going to be plenty of room in Utah, Southern California, Montana and Idaho when we start encouraging the Nazis to go to their own country.

Red state here. Are you all accepting adoption applications? I don't get in much trouble at school and clean my room every day.
-
You’re in
-
-
-
again? hey everyone look, she said the thing again
-
Every. Damn. Time.
How is it news still?
-
-
I frankly don’t think this shithole is going to be able to pull out of this idiocy
-
Nah. Doubt it.
Not really sure how it's going to play out, but old America is done and gone.
Too many stupids to maintain a functional federal government across a large nation.
Balkanization seems likely. And at this point I don't really care and think it would probably be for the best, especially for blue states.
We're not going back to what we had.
-
-
Into it.
Blue states secede and watch the red states cannibalize themselves.
They need us. We don't need them.
They will only learn if they are entirely destitute and have to come crawling back to us.
But we both know the violent right would go to war to prevent blue states from seceding. Like I said, they need us.
-
MTG has the common sense of a rubber duck, the intelligence of a flea, and the understanding of a brick.
-
She doesn’t have enough toes for her opinions to matter
-
-
Red types move to florida now before all the good land is taken by the oce….. other people seeking freedom!
-
Sure, but we keep the house.
-
Yeah you should divorce and leave the country. Byyyyyyyyyyyyye
-
Margie, worry about your own divorce. Leave the country alone. It has enough fuckwits trying to destroy it already.
-
I mean, it would be an interesting experiment I guess. I suspect it would effectively segregate the states by ideology and race. I assume most non-old-white-christians would prefer to live in blue states.
But one glaring question is how would we divide up existing federal resources? Like the military, bank, etc.
-
She's already called for that multiple times, and each time she would have (and will ) regret it if she got it as she'd be left with a thrift word theocratic dictatorship that wouldn't be able to feed its own population
-
I think it is a good idea. Break into 3 unions of states. North, south, west.
The south can fuck themselves down there on their own.
-
If it's in the henry VIii way and they all get their heads relocated, yes.

I would also like a peaceful national divorce. Those of us who prefer intellectualism and advancement get one half, and the knuckledragging neanderthals whose only accomplishment in life is being born white get the other half
And then our states can finally stop paying for their states to drag us back to the dark ages.
That money can go towards funding migration for whoever wants to move to the other half
A house divided cannot stand
I wouldn't really call it standing right now
Two separate united houses can stand, though.
Well, one of them can. Based on how their economies seem to do, the other one's going to be in trouble pretty quickly.
One half can stand just fine. It has the economy and progressive politics to do so.
The other half can rot and die. It only serves as a ball and chain.
Maybe that would be the best way out of this for the rest of the world though
What we have now is a house divided, and correct, its falling apart. This hypothetical scenario would be two houses.
