Let’s get one started in NC!!!!!!!!!
Jefferson and Franklin would be great names for states.
Hamilton not bad either. Madison perhaps sullied by the city in Wisconsin.
Texas could be chopped up to give state names like Houston, Bowie, Travis, Crockett
California could be similarly cut up to give names like Fremont, Kearny, or Sanford.
The first state that secedes or splits into a conservative area, I will sell my house, pack up my money, guns and ammo, and go to defend that state from tyranny.
New states cannot be formed from the territory of existing states without the consent of their state legislatures - movements like this are always going to founder long before they get anywhere unless the other parts of the state also feel like they would be happier with a division. And with a few exceptions like New York, I just don’t see that happening.
It would not be difficult at all for Northern Colorado to pickup additional territory (although not much population, unless you consider cattle) from adjacent states as well.
It may be the least populous, but it would be one of the best-armed states!
I wish Conservative Southern NM would split off from Socialist Northern NM.
Or if Texas secedes, they will invade and take over everything south of the Manzano mountains.
In this present American political environment, with portions of States actually pursuing to secede from the other portions of those States, I ask:
1. How long in time might it be before it comes to pass, for a State, in it’s entirety, to pursue the same course of action?
2. Should that moment in time come before this nation, to follow the notion further, how much time would elapse, before there would be a State(s) Secession Convention, again?
3. Would people remember that from the time of the last ‘Convention’, it was only a few short weeks that passed, when the ‘Secessionists’ physically attacked a ‘Federal’ military installation?
This whole business ... I understand it, yet it bothers me to my innards, because this is NOT the America I fought for!
IN recent years, Weld is the fastest growing county in CO. The population would not be a terrible problem. They also have oil. All over.
And in regards to the rest of the state wanting these counties gone... well they are a bunch of big city ... sigh, can’t think of a pc word to say... idiots who don’t understand rural life and while encroaching on it, complain about it. Not to mention the state legislature passed a requirement for rural electric coops to increase the amount of “renewable” energy that they purchase, putting a financial burden on the already water and money strapped producers.
