      Seriously. The states mostly hate each other as is. Split up, be happier. You’ll have little Russia down in the south where rights are a joke and children go back to the mines but hey, that’s just good solid capitalism. And then you’ll have everyone else forced to live with their crumbling neighbor slinging shit over the fence for a few decades.

        Honestly youre right. As an American I really think we’re hitting a point where atleast for awhile we may need to consider balkanization. I just don’t know how much longer things can keep going the way they are. Maybe California, Illinois and New York could do a cyberpunk esc new usa thing since they span from coast to coast. Then when the south eventually rots away we can do actual reconstruction.

        are people in general for or against secession (i.e. splitting up the US into jesusland and the blue states)? poll by upvoting (pro secession) or downvoting (against secession) this comment.

      Man, As an American i just want to live a comfortable life. I can’t do shit about the fact that a third if the country is rewarded and upset about stuff that has nothing to do with them because the richest told them to be. Fuck it man. You want to do something about it?
