(Florida, Alabama, Louisiana and Texas)<[> As long as we get all the US Marines too, then we would definitely pursue a viable sovereignty.
That will happen. Great empires always fall apart eventually. But in the meantime, how about just giving the 10th Amendment a little respect? I’d be happy enough with that.
Would this be a Confederation of American States?
I think that’s been tried...
Where do I sign up?
The United States already ARE regional “countries”.
That’s why they’re called STATES.
The problem is that the general government the STATES created turned the tables and now thinks of the States themselves as mere municipal subdivisions of the federation, something that NO ONE agreed to in 1787.
We should have such a fairly peaceful dissolution. But I fear it will be more like Yugoslavia on steroids.
Shocking? Yeah, about as ‘shocking’ that nearly a third of Americans are not sure that the Earth is round.
Go figure.
Only 29%?
These are people that think they can hide from what is coming.
Build a wall! Let California twist in the wind all by themselves.
Heartland. Amerika TV mini-series
Ain’t gonna happen. This amounts to a blog.
Civil wars rarely happen in a vacuum. They almost also involve, often are caused by, and always made worse by - outside actors.
The collapse of the Soviet Union would be the most analogous and potential BEST outcome of such a scenario in the USA, and even then - it became 15 countries, lost half its economic output, has been fighting constant wars since, and has NATO and China on its borders.
I don’t think the majority of Americans have 10% of the resilience of the Russian people either.
29% of Americans support the notion of their own region seceding from the Union
****************
Well, the reality is we’re not really a union anymore. Lots of states and regions have very little in common with each another, and its not solely due to the red/blue ideological divide.
The United States has become an oxymoron.
All the 29% means that this country has a LONG WAY TO GO to allow at least some people to have their freedom restored.

The talk of Texas secession has chilled.
Only 29% ?
This is a number that will grow with our current divide in the nation.
Northern California would love to separate from Southern California. Eastern Washington and Eastern Oregon would love to jettison the I-5 corridor. Upstate New York and much of Illinois would like to be on their own. The list goes on...
It is a simple fact of human nature that big city elites will never understand “rural America” or the desires of rural Americans. It is not just regulatory stuff either.... the separation on social and educational issues is very wide.
Biden just won the presidency with less than 25% of all the counties in America. What does that tell us?
I support dividing it
