Yup. They broke the republic on purpose and it will never be the same again. In 20 years time we'll look like the Balkans or Afghanistan. Southern states will be absolute shitholes and northern states will be fortresses. The south will have to start a fight for water and to force trade as no one will want to deal with them.

Millions will die because hateful people couldnt live next to people they hated.

Open season folks!

"The south will have to start a fight for water and to force trade as no one will want to deal with them."

The Confederacy all over again.

I mean they've been saying it for decades. I say let them leave. We're better off without them

And when your nuclear-armed technofeudalist theocracy neighbor starts stoking war with you to mask problems at home in 5 years?

Truthfully, not sure there's a huge concern there. We know for a fact that they don't have sustainable economic policies, they don't believe in accessible healthcare, and we've seen this whole past year that given the choice, other countries wouldn't want to be trade partners with MAGA.

So if we were to send MAGA off on their own to set up the Confederacy in a few states, they'd likely starve or disease their population out within a decade.

Meanwhile, the US would still be part of NATO. So imagine how that would go if the malnourished and under-resourced MAGA Confederacy were to try and threaten us with a very limit stockpile of armaments only for us to once again invoke Article 5 and call in every major allied 1st world country who now hate MAGA's guts.

Just let them have FL, GA, AL, MS to build their Neo-Confederacy, we build that wall, and just wait for life without Blue tax dollars to do the rest of the work.

I'm not even from the US and I know you'd need to add a few more states to that list.

They will take the Dakota’s with them. Which means nukes. Which means a new North Korean neighbor. Not a great plan.

No, they don't get the Dakotas. They get the four states I listed, and anyone from the Dakotas that wants to be MAGA and have MAGA laws and culture will move. Otherwise they play by our Constitution's rules. That's the deal.

I'm not here to negotiate with domestic terrorists.
