The joker author thinks he’s being so funny and sarcastic, but does he realize just how many tens of millions of us would take a separate country that consists of the former Confederate states, Texas, and the red states of the Midwest and Upper Midwest?? This blue state prisoner says please bring it on! I’ll relocate in a heartbeat, and I’m one of those pesky “makers” instead of a “taker”.
Separation into autonomous regions is no joke, of which the author has not a clue. Autonomous governance need not be geographic. In the 21st century, technology can enable separations that need not be organized around existing, old state boundaries. It oculd be done, literally, at the level of each person. Even more importantly, I reject secession 100 percent and unequivocably. Americans already have a governing system unmatched in excellence. It is only the left that has, since the 1920s, wanted to depart from the American way. Let them sequester themselves in their urban enclaves and run their government the way they want. Then, maybe, they can stop trying to run my life and live off the great accomplishments of Americans.

It looks like an interesting problem for the author. Soon after separation, the new southern government forms its pro-growth, low corporate tax policy. It would quickly have most of the union-infested industries relocating to a pro freedom country, draining the remaining high-tax, anti gun, high crime, high laziness culture of its remaining employer base. What then?
“that consists of the former Confederate states, Texas, ...”
Texas is one of the former Confederate states.
Most of the farm land and the people who work on them are red state people. Where are they going to get enough people to grow their food? Even if we share the agricultural land like the rest of the nation's resources, the blue staters are going to have to import food.
I'd bet 100% of the leeches on welfare will be blue state residents. The blue state producers will have to satisfy these leeches and the severely undereducated people from where they came. The new blue-socialist country will be populated by the least educated of the current population. Those severely, poorly educated people will comprise about 50% of the blue country population. Good luck with that. Say hello to confiscatory taxes. And when those young entrepreneurs find the state intends to take 90+ percent of what they make, they'll come begging to be let back into the red U.S. As will many more millions who currently vote Dem when they come to their senses and realize they'll be living in a country where multi-millions will be rewarded for sitting on their cans.
The idiot who wrote this piece is a moron, because he thinks all conservatives are anti-science, bible-belters (I personally am not one, but I like them...and I've yet to meet a very religious person who was anti-science), and that all the blue state residents are all 200+ IQ types (like him) who think they will live in a socialist eden. He's especially an idiot for thinking that a socialist economy (which the blue states eventually surely will be sooner than later) can outproduce a free-market one. The final result will not be so nice for them.
