My choice would be to cut Hawaii loose, then partition my home state of New York into NYC and Western New York.
Buffalo proper is lib but the suburbs and surrounding rural counties are full of Patriots. Let’s not forget these long-suffering citizens.
My in-laws are from NY (NYC and Long Island). They’re okay but they steal the “r” from car and put it on the end of idea.
Have read for decades that NYC is a forign country and should be removed from the union.
Hawaii is split personality. The majority did and does want to be a state. The so called sovereignty clowns are really a sideshow that the liberal media gives lots of attention to.
combine the carolinas; the dakotas; Montana and Wyoming; Vermont, NH and Maine into New England; put Conn and Mass together; WV back in Virginia, Tenn and KY
I could get us down to about 35 states.
