Many red-state Trump voters say they'd be 'better off' if their state seceded from U.S.

[itstony]

Trump's true legacy, divide our nation because you lost an election. May you rot in hell Mr. Trump.

Red-state Donald Trump voters are now more likely to say they’d be personally “better off” (33%) than “worse off” (29%) if their state seceded from the U.S. and “became an independent country,” according to a new Yahoo News/YouGov poll.

It’s a striking rejection of national unity that dramatizes the growing culture war between Democratic- and Republican-controlled states on core issues such as guns, abortion and democracy itself. And an even larger share of red-state Trump voters say their state as a whole would be better off (35%) rather than worse off (30%) if it left the U.S.

Good go... Next time a hurricane wipes out a red state they can go begging to Texas for money...

Considering red states usually take from the federal government more than they contribute to it, it just goes to show how truly astray Trump voters have been led by the Republican Party and conspiracy peddling conservative media. They truly have been hoodwinked into voting against their own interests by conservative propaganda designed to frighten them into voting down the party line without even thinking about what they are doing. They've been told to hate Democrats, and they slavishly obey anything Republicans tell them to do. And their children are going to pay the price for this irresponsibility.

Some serious and thoughtful people feel that eventually there will be some kind of autonomy for the various sections of the nation.

Of course, this will not occur for many years (maybe not until the next century).

Will there be a relocation package for all the liberals they hate?

 

[Ginger Ale]

Did TX republicans really approve a resolution declaring that Joe wasn't the president, and they still get support from Trump? Is the new party platform really calling for full repeal of the voting act of 1965?

Is this legit?

“Some kind of autonomy” beyond what is defined in our Constitution isn’t an option.

Serious observers feel that there will be more harmony if Americans can live with like-minded people.

So maybe the Northeast might be a nice place for liberal ladies and gentlemen.

And maybe, say, the Southeast might be a nice place for conservative ladies and gentlemen.

It will be a win-win for everyone.

Gee, aside from all those who were ethnically cleansed.

How about those that believe Americans should establish two countries within the United States, pack their shit and leave the United States?

That would be a win-win for America.

Describing Trump's America, you're not describing mine.

People are better understanding what I've long said, that Lincoln lost the civil war, it was our chance.

Why can't they both be a nice place for ALL Americans. Why should the comfort of certain classes of Americans outweigh the comfort of others in particular areas?

I assume that the Constitution would be amended by mutual agreement.

Other countries have had a divorce: Yugoslavia, Czechoslovkia, Sudan, Korea, etc.

By the next century, the unpleasantness in this country may encourage a lot of Americans to peacefully and gracefully part ways.

Yes, all liberals and conservatives are gonna sell and quit and move.

Some thoughtful observers looking at the current unpleasantness in this unique nation feel that safe zones for people of similar political and cultural views are the best way for this nation to survive (as a confederation) in the next century.

 

[Helix]

Many red state people who support secession get all of their information from faux and other far right wing propaganda sources. Because of this they are hopelessly and possibly irreversibly misinformed. That's about as politely as I can put it.

It's really kind of sad.

But they are adults.

Again, isn't it better to not need these "safe zones" at all?

Can you maybe see a potential problem?

Our chance to do what, throw African Americans under the bus and enable slavery to continue indefinitely because some people are under the delusion that the US would be more “progressive” without the south?

You do realize that in three of those four cases massive amounts of bloodshed resulted from said “divorce”.....right?
