Agree with your comments. We should support it.
Also consider the North Korean situation. If they launched five nukes at our five largest cities, the U.S. would be Republican for the next two generations.
NOT that I wish that’d happen. But look where all the Democrats are — all lumped together in big cities. NY, LA, Chicago, DC, San Fran, Detroit (what’s left of it), etc.
Check out this book:
People’s Republic
by Kurt Schlichter
It imagines a disunion of the states where the libs break off into a People’s Republic, which quickly become hell holes.
Plot of the book is a mercenary is hired to rescue a kid from California.
An entertaining read and a prequel just came out as well entitled INDIAN COUNTRY. It covers an armed conflict in a border state area as the two countries separate.
