I know a few states that should be kicked out of the union. Let them fend for themselves.

You would stand a far better chance of success that way but still, all states contribute to the whole. Also, even a peaceful breakup would end up in multiple wars. Or we could look at the inevitable weakness of all that would result.

As far as those who would like to secede. They talk about taking states and forming their own countries. What they don't mention are the large built in resistance made up of people in those states who wisely don't want to secede. What do they do with them? Do the "oppressed" become the oppressor?

It doesn't take a lot of thought to recognize the foolishness of such talk.

You’re right, there is nothing good that could come out of any scenario.
