I know it sounds crazy and completely unworkable, given the degree of intransigence on both sides, but for America to be successful and prosperous again, we will need to take National interests to heart, not simply regional ones.

If the people of a given state votes for secession then the ENTIRE state goes, leaves the union. Will the vote be 100% for, no. Lets say it splits 70-30 for, So what? The ENTIRE state leaves the union. This is how the republic was set up. Each state is an separate political entity.

If you think the entire union is saveable, or worth saving yo are the dreamer. All of New England is socialists. Why would they not want a split to be free to create their socialist Utopia?

I’ve been called worse, central_va.

When the big players in the economic engine start talking about secession, or a regional breakup as a strong idea for economic growth, I’ll dig that confederate money from the underground vault.

Do you think Virginia could muster enough votes for secession these days?

I think it would be a crap shoot, but I’m across your northern border in Md, so what the hell do I know?
