Recently there has been an uptick in discussions of secession. Last week on his #1 radio show, Rush Limbaugh pondered what secession would look like, with California and New York (and some satellite states) leaving the Union. His reasoning was that the liberal states and the so-called “red” states are so drastically at odds with each other that before long they will have to divide. Francis Buckley made this very point earlier this year in his book American Secession.
My first reaction to Buckley’s book was to reject the premise. After all, no matter how crazy California is, there are still five million registered Republicans there compared to eight million Democrats. It’s a tall order to flip one and a half million people, but given Governor Gavin Newsome’s lunatic policies, it might be easier than I think. Likewise, most of New York state, outside of the Soviet Socialist Republic of New York City, is conservative-leaning. In fact, New York (unlike many “red” states) has an actual Conservative Party as well as a Republican Party.
However, Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot (affectionately known here as Beetle juice) has blamed the state of Indiana for all the murders in Chicago. That’s right, Chicagoan’s are killing each other because of truckloads of guns brought in by Hoosiers. Previously, she said, “we had a law enforcement first [policy] and it wasn’t working.” Dubious, either that that was her policy, or that it wasn’t working—because it wasn’t being allowed to work. But now? “The fact that you can cross the border,” she said, “go into Indiana and purchase military-grade weapons at any number with no background check is a terrible thing, not only for a city but look at the devastation that gun violence is wreaking every single day in our community.”

Ping.
It’s going to happen one way or the other; it is no longer possible to coexist with the psychopaths on the Left.
The reality is this...The blue states need the red states producers because many of the producers in the blue states are leaving due to oppression. Oppression of their lives, their world-view, their religious views, their right to conduct business and more.
Basically we have the Left who has the will but not the ability or means.
Then we have the Right who has the means and could end all this in a matter of days but unfortunately lacks the will.

Yep, and I have no desire to try to coexist with them. The gap between left and right is far too wide to ever bridge.
One thing I would say is, it’s more of a “blue cities” v “red rural” issue that red state blue state. I’m all for partitioning off these cities and letting them fester in their own stew.
Why not let whatever blue cities that want to secede and form a country, Metropolis. ‘Course we would have to control the borders better than we do that with Mexico. Wouldn’t want too many immigrants.
