Secession and Anti-Secession Ping and Prayer listStories and commentary both for and against secession.
To be added or taken off this list, please send a FR mail to RKBA Democrat. DISCLOSURE: I'm ANTI-secession, but I'll attempt to administer the ping and prayer list fairly for seceshers, ejectors, and anti-seceshers of Good Will. Search the keyword "secessionlist" to see previous articles and pings.

Haha. I love how all of Illinois has seceded from Chicago.
I have a question for Illinois Freepers.
What would happen if Chicago had a financial meltdown like Detroit (not an unlikely prospect looking at the numbers)? What if Chicago experienced a Detroit-like exodus?
Would Illinois be the next West Virginia?

And if they didn’t have the Hispanic vote they would probably lose CA, CO, NM, and FL

No rhyme nor reason to the map.
For instance, aside from Detroit, Michigan is solidly in GOP hands. It should actually look a lot more like Illinois on the map and probably redder.

I had no idea that there was such nice big red chunk in southwest Oregon Maybe that is where I should retire.

Michigan isn’t quite right. Either the Western side of Michigan would secede from the Easter side of the state or we’d try to secede from the cities.
Maybe we’d all just move to the U.P. Problem with that, after seeing the National Park shut down and maps of said shut down, is that there is LOTS of Federal land above the bridge.

The U.P. of Michigan has never had a serious secessionist movement. It has always been more of a stunt like the Conch Republic, rather than a real movement.

Whoops, didn’t see your post. We agree on the secede from Detroit idea. :)

Yet Oregon still elects dirtbags like Merkley. If only there was some way to clean out the big cities in America.
To: Viennacon
I went to pick up a gun from a dealer when I lived in northern NV. Don't know how we got on the subject but he whipped out a map that had a new state boundary through the middle of both Nevada and California. The California portion got Vegas and everything southwest of S.F. The northern part of California was attached to N. Nevada.
Looked good to me, I mean we can all dream, can't we.

Agreed. I don't like the way they drew the Flint to Tawas district. The sparsely populated northern half got sucked into a democrat district.

When did Cleveland and friends decide to leave Ohio? We'll be down to two pro football teams, the Bengals and the Buckeyes.

You think the state of Jefferson would be a red state? Weed would probably be the capital of it.

Ideally, America would be divided so that all the concentrated Democrat parasite nests (”cities”) comprise one nation, and the rest of the country the other.
To: Lancey Howard
If we got rid of Philly, Chicago, NYC and LA, Democrats would never win another national election.
It’s that simple.

Let Mexico have “Baja Arizona.” White people can’t go into most of that area anyway (by order of Obastard’s DHS). The only city is Tucson, so the rest of AZ would turn bright red with only Flag and Tempe as bastions of liberal filth.

You are correct. Population density plays a much bigger role that we have accounted for.

GREAT!!! Stuck behind enemy lines! Well maybe I need to start thinking like a paratrooper!
