Haha. I love how all of Illinois has seceded from Chicago.
I have a question for Illinois Freepers.
What would happen if Chicago had a financial meltdown like Detroit (not an unlikely prospect looking at the numbers)? What if Chicago experienced a Detroit-like exodus?
Would Illinois be the next West Virginia?
And if they didn’t have the Hispanic vote they would probably lose CA, CO, NM, and FL
No rhyme nor reason to the map.
For instance, aside from Detroit, Michigan is solidly in GOP hands. It should actually look a lot more like Illinois on the map and probably redder.
Michigan isn’t quite right. Either the Western side of Michigan would secede from the Easter side of the state or we’d try to secede from the cities.
Maybe we’d all just move to the U.P. Problem with that, after seeing the National Park shut down and maps of said shut down, is that there is LOTS of Federal land above the bridge.
The U.P. of Michigan has never had a serious secessionist movement. It has always been more of a stunt like the Conch Republic, rather than a real movement.
You think the state of Jefferson would be a red state? Weed would probably be the capital of it.
Ideally, America would be divided so that all the concentrated Democrat parasite nests (”cities”) comprise one nation, and the rest of the country the other.
Let Mexico have “Baja Arizona.” White people can’t go into most of that area anyway (by order of Obastard’s DHS). The only city is Tucson, so the rest of AZ would turn bright red with only Flag and Tempe as bastions of liberal filth.
Inside five years, the few producers from lib Amarxica would be screaming and banging their fists on the 100 foot high wall that keep residents of Amarxica out of the constitutional/free market-minded America begging to be let inside.
Tough luck rich libs. It will cost each and every one of you half your total wealth (if you can keep it from getting stolen by the Marxists running your country) and a sworn statement swearing never to engage in redistributionist, anti-constitution, anti-free market policies ever again on pain of death.
Go Jefferson!
you would find that north FL would want to leave too, actually those 3 liberal counties in the south east have been wanting to leave our state for some time.
Go here and click on a specific state to get a different perspective.

I thought upstate New York was conservative. Am I misinformed?
Colors are wrong. Red is Communist.
gosh you mean it would be so awful for us Republicans if this happened?
Thanks Dems! We know you always love to help us
New Mexico has to be the most politically misunderstood state of all. New Mexico can go either way in a Presidential election depending on if the Republican candidate is a good one or if the Republican candidate bothers to really campaign here. This state is not a lost cause, Romney didn’t want conservative support so he lost many of those votes, and there are many here. We have a fairly conservative (really conservative for here) Governor so we are not a blue state for the right candidate. We have so few electoral votes so I understand why we don’t get much attention from Republicans but when we do we can be persuaded, speaking for my state- I personally vote R even when I have to hold my nose/lessor of two thing.
