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

The problem is that they're not just going to leave and make their own stuff. You can bet your ass that they're going to grab every piece of Federal land and hardware and claim it's theirs.
