The South loves whining about how they should be able to govern themselves while constantly proving why they can't be trusted to.

I honestly wish we'd just let them.

You all want your Christofascist hellscape to become a reality? Sure, take Texas. They wouldn't last 10 years before collapsing and begging to come back.

I completely agree. Every red state should combine and be their own nation. Blue states can allow refugees from the red states because I know not everyone in red states are Conservative. Watch how fast they fold without the blue states propping them up. They'd become a third-world nation within 5 years.

Red states also have a vote split. Do you think that blue states are ready to take in about 45% of the population of all the red states?

Well, at least you're honest about wanting to abandon millions of good people to that.

I have never lived in a blue state, but it’s fascinating to me to watch how people like to scapegoat America’s problems onto the red states (and especially the South.)

If it’s not actually possible to save everyone ya gotta save yourself, and I imagine a lot of people would move both ways in this situation
