If all the states seceded - then the productive states may choose to re-affiliate. I seriously doubt that States like California, NY, and Mass would be allowed into the any group containing Texas, LA, Miss, Alabama, and Georgia. And given the nature of the “gun control” laws in these states, California and Mass would be too chicken to join in anyway (not to mention the likely “no free handouts” policy).
I certainly hope they would not be allowed in, they are the ones we want to be RID of... need DE-Con on the borders.
All you right minded NE'ern conservatives, you need to COME OUT, but don't bring any of that NE'ern thinking down here, we don't cotton to nonsense.
