The 7 States That The Rest Of America Would Like To Kick Out Of the Country

An AskReddit thread yesterday polled Americans about which state they would remove from the union.
The answers were diverse and had a number of thought processes behind them — which states had the least people, which states contributed least to the country, which could survive on their own, and which state was Mississippi — and in the end a lot of people made a lot of sense.
Here are the states most Americans would love to see go:
7. Delaware.
First in, first out. Redditors alleged there's not much important there.
However, "Lots of companies are incorporated there. Sure, they could just move to another tax haven, but it would be a rough transition and they would lose out on the decades of case law that the state has on the subject of corporations.
6. Florida
This is most likely the result of the adventures of Florida Man and a desire to make elections easier.
Georgians spoke out in its defense as a functional Hurricane-shield.
5. Rhode Island
Rhode Island's departure would offend a minimal amount of people and shed a minimal amount of space.
"I had a professor in college from there and said that milkshakes are referred to as "cabinets." Who the hell does that?" Williston, North Dakota
3-4 (TIE). Either Dakota
One work-around solution was to combine North and South Dakota into a single Super Dakota.
While some Americans actually doubted the existence of North Dakota and proposed to strike it anyway, others pointed out that its absence would be noted

Alabama.....so that some other state can have a chance at winning a college football title. ;)
Yeah, well forget you! Forget all of you!
: )
Scouts Out! Cavalry Ho!
If at first you don’t succeed....
“Yeah, well forget you! Forget all of you!”
;-) It is good to see that you have a sense of humor!
Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, New York
Neo Europa......... all must be purged . They are no longer Americans
I suspect that NY, NJ, and CA would be high on many thinking people’s lists.
All this focusing on states is misleading. There are some fine people in upstate New York, downstate Illinois, California away from the Bay and the Pacific, even some fine people on the Pacific in San Diego and perhaps Orange County. Every nominally red state has a notable blue patch except Oklahoma.
The only downside to this is that most coastal areas and most of the beautiful places in general have gone blue. The productive areas remain red and maybe even reddened as leftists and Dem-voting retirees turn NC, FL and others purple.
Give them the coasts with negotiated ports, and a reciprocal resettlement package for leftists left behind in Jesusland and decent people caught up in the stultifying hell of Marxitopia.
Keep the OBX in the red though. Good fishing, beautiful beaches. I like it there.
They aren't going to say that "the rest of America should kick out" New York or California. Or Texas, for that matter -- lot of very active users in Austin (or somewhere else in Texas but telling people they lived in Austin).
If you asked most Americans, I suppose they'd choose states that stood out or made themselves conspicuous in some way -- California, Massachusetts, New York, Texas, Florida. "Redditors" (as they call themselves) chose to expel states that didn't stand out, the wallflowers or milquetoasts of the union -- Rhode Island, Delaware, North Dakota, South Dakota, Indiana -- with Florida and Mississippi thrown in.
If the "redditors" really did choose them, that is. It doesn't look like the thread actually "polled" anybody. It just solicited opinions which the writer of this piece claims to have totaled up (whether he actually counted anything or not).
Yes, another false ‘study’
The state of confusion but where would D.C. go?
Kommiefornia
Fascistchusetts
Killannoy
Commieticut
New Yawk
New Joisey
Fairyland
That was tough choosing the worst seven to kick out. It would be easy as pie adding another three to make it the Top 10...
HaHawhyii
Dumbaware
Rude Island
I'm just sorry I can't add a few more. Oh, what the heck...
Somalisota
Forevergon
... and while we're at it, why don't we just throw in for good measure and for our self-preservation as a new and improved United States of America...
District of Corruption
Actually, that one should be at the very top of the List!!
It might be good in concept, but most states probably couldn’t make a go of it totally alone. I would foresee them joining other states in loose compacts for defense, economics, etc., but retaining far more sovereignty than they currently exercise.
