I don't think secession is very practical for most states, certainly not the land locked ones that would suffer from the restrictions placed on them by the surrounding, angry & slighted, USA. Perhaps Texas, Hawaii, or Alaska could do it, or maybe a block of states with access to the Gulf or Atlantic.

If you think about it, the better solution is to EXPELL the NE states from Maryland to Maine, including WDC, & Kalifornia. Move the new capitol to the center of the country where it should be. That would give the US a clear conservative majority. Remaining liberal states would see the Federal payoffs to the states dry up, forcing them to either be productive & prudent, or starve.

Geography has to be seriously considered in any secessionist plan. Part of the strength of this nation is that it touches 2 oceans. Loss of either or both would be costly.

I realize that expulsion is about as likely as winning the lottery, so it isn't gonna happen. Still, it is the BEST solution to the problem, as liberalism is the problem in this country, not conservatism. Shouldn't we rid ourselves of a problem rather than removing the solution from the country?

Under this strategy, you would probably also have to expel the entire West Coast. Those states, particularly California, are as Blue as the Northest corridor.
