"SNIP......

Christopher Ingraham: “A new YouGov survey conducted on behalf of a democracy watchdog group finds that 66% of Republicans living in the South say they’d support seceding from the United States to join a union with other Southern states.”

“Secession is actually gaining support among Southern Republicans: back in January and February, 50% said they’d support such a proposal.”

Meanwhile, conservative Ben Shapiro floated the idea of a “friendly separation” of certain states away from the union.

.......SNIP"

Quebec threatening to secede resulted in a massive exodus of Anglos (english) to other parts of Canada. Quebec never seceded. Just continuously threatened to. Maybe Georgia, Florida and Texas want to see liberals migrate North and away from voting on their Congressional seats, Senate seats and electoral college counts.

Recently Alberta got ahold of the idea that threats to secede in Quebec has garnered them concessions so Alberta started to claim Alberta would go. Then one of the Virginias threatened it. Charles Blow recently wrote about how African Americans should migrate to a few states and get power that way. Threatening to secede is the new right wing chew toy.

1. Leave.

Go.

U are a drain on the resources of the northerly blue states and we then can forge a political alliance with English Canada.

🇨🇦

We can then form a hard border, which we can use to keep your sorry asses from climate migrating. Also, to keep you away from the Great Lakes H2O.

Leave…GET OUT.

[Sneederbunk]

2. Are we going to have to send Sherman down there again?

[Missn-Hitch]

13. Hear, hear!!

Abe was WAY too nice. Unfortunately.

[madinmaryland]

42. Sherman is on twitter and says he already has plans to visit Georgia again!

[Sneederbunk]

44. Southern states act like a third world country.

Maybe they should be one.

[wnylib]

46. Why bother? We should let them go

and help them do it. Take in refugees who don't want to live in their fascist nation. Push Republicans in other states to leave and resettle in the South.

[underpants]

3. So no military base economies anymore

Oooookay.
I don’t think they’ve done their research on this

[wryter2000]

8. Or social security

Or postal service.

[HelpImSurrounded]

16. They're going to keep those and the income

[DBoon]

21. They *think* they are going to keep all that

Like the UK would keep all the benefits of EU trade without having to let those foreigners in

[underpants]

22. They've got it all figured out huh?

[HelpImSurrounded]

33. Yep, they want to have their cake and have it paid for by US, like always.

[keithbvadu2]

4. Are you going to elect NY yankee Trump as your fearless leader?

Give up those American military bases.

Pay your share of the national debt on the way out.

Are you going to elect NY yankee Trump as your fearless leader?

[Sherman A1]

5. Bye

👋

[GoCubsGo]

6. Just please get me the hell out of here first.

And, while your at it, remove every military and USCG base and its assets, any NOAA/NWS offices, radar, etc., NASA, all USPS personnel and equipment, etc. I honestly don't think these schumucks have thought this through. Do they think the US government is going to leave all of its assets to foreign seditionists? Or, that this will ever remain "friendly"? This kind of talk always cracks me up.

[wnylib]

48. They didn't think it out the last time, either.

Thinking is not their forte.

Don't worry about getting out. Yankees will take in refugees.

[Marthe48]

7. bye f'n bye

Leaving for what? A 3rd world economy in land severely compromised by global warming?

Someone mentioned texas leaving the United States in comments on DU the other day. Someone else pointed out the difficulty of making that a reality. After all, there are many Dems living in tx. The trouble with the traitors is that they live in all states, and care only about destroying the country we have, with absolutely no plan for something else. I think they are using the taliban for a model.

[wnylib]

52. Southerners and Trumpists like segregation.

So give them our version of segregation, by politics, not race.

The US can take in non Republican refugees from the South. Send northern Republicans south to join their compatriots in their own country. Set up a border patrol to keep Republicans in their own country and out of the US.

Their economy won't collapse; it will never get started. Let them wallow in their own self-created poverty and ignorance.

[wryter2000]

9. We used to get the same crap about California leaving the nation along with a few other blue states

I haven't heard that idiocy for a while.

[mcar]

10. If they want to leave the US, they are welcome to go

I'm sure their god Putin would welcome them. That would leave us sane people who live in Southern states in charge so we could start cleaning up their messes.

Or all the responders here who are in favor of secession expecting the millions and millions of Democrats who live in these states to suddenly be in a foreign country?

[PufPuf23]

11. Those that support secession should leave. nt

[AndyS]

12. Uh, excuse me! You behave . . .

[Missn-Hitch]

15. YES!!!

[HelpImSurrounded]

14. Look at recent events in Texas

Tech companies are bailing from Texas because of the abortion ban. Salesforce will pay the moving expenses of any employee who wants to move because of the new law.

If Texas tried to secede it would suffer economic collapse overnight.

Even the secessionists know it. They are proposing a separation where the US continues to host all its military bases in TX like other countries.

[roamer65]

19. Let Mexico deal with them.

It’s stolen Mexican land, anyway.

No US military, no US dollar.

No to sovereignty-association.

[Treefrog]

18. Ohio, PA gonna join too?

[Kingofalldems]

28. What?

Biden won PA and why would Ohio secede?

[ProfessorGAC]

20. Because It Worked So Well The First Time

Remember, however that this is 66% of Rs.
Even in southern states, Rs are only a third of the population.
So, this is 2 in 9 people, roughly.
As big as 66% may sound, a broader view suggests this is a bulge in what used to call the lunatic fringe.

[Turbineguy]

23. Well, at least they'll still have

the Military bases and NASA.

Won't they?

[orwell]

24. Boo Hoo...

...See Ya.

You can finally live in JesusVille...

[GoodRaisin]

25. They'd change their mind the minute they realize they have no

Social Security and Medicare.

[DFW]

26. Oh, PLEASE give me a break from these themes.

Most Southern Democrats support Southern Republicans getting Covid-19 or shooting each other.

Is everyone happy now?

[hlthe2b]

27. And who is going to bail them out during the next map-wiping hurricane season?

And, climate change does not bode well for them to be self-sufficient in terms of raising/growing all their food & crops.

I'm reminded of this famous scene from GWTW with the far more "worldly" Rhett Butler rather bluntly pointing out the fallacy of the enthused warmongering southern men at the Wilke's Barbeque--reminding them that they had very little except cotton to bring to the effort:

"All we got is cotton, slaves, and arrogance!"

[Fiendish Thingy]

29. This question was asked, and answered back in 1865. Not.Going.To.Happen. Nt

[UTUSN]

30. Hah! - so characteristic for them in so many ways - rooted in racism & slavery et al.

[Mr.Bill]

31. Can't let that happen.

The Mason-Dixon wall would cost a fortune.

[struggle4progress]

32. Summary: More non-Confederates abandon Republican party

as shrinking party of dead-enders plots to destroy United States

"Hey! Let's push horse-worm paste as a COVID cure! All the dumb people will eat it and die! Then there will only be Republicans left!"

[blueinredohio]

34. They're always ready to run

until they have a big disaster then they come crying to
the government for help.

[kimbutgar]

35. If they leave no social security or Medicare from the federal government.

And we need to close the military bases and let them fend for themselves.

Sadly I do believe this could happen in my lifetime. These climate change denier states are gong to miss FEMA also.

[LiberalFighter]

51. That would be correct. Would not be eligible.

[Voltaire2]

36. Seems like are reasonable solution to the mess we are in.

I'm sorry about all the good people who will be stuck in the new confederacy. Perhaps part of the deal should be relocation for everyone who wants out.

[Wounded Bear]

37. Yeah, because it worked so well the last time, right?

[budkin]

38. They should secede into the oceans

Maybe they could build the next Atlantis.

[48656c6c6f20]

40. Well isn't that something

I support expelling them from the union. Let's draw a line starting at Texass and do all the states to the old man's ball and penis and call it Dumbfuckistan.

[randr]

43. Just imagine if you will

Texas secedes and becomes a Republic again. Mexico invades Texas.
Whos side are we on?

[roamer65]

45. Not Texas.

[randr]

50. I think our economic interests would come into play

Sorry Lone Star you're on your own.

[crickets]

47. What utter bullcrap.

Neither media nor polling organizations should be pushing this irresponsible nonsense.

[LiberalFighter]

49. States won't be allowed to secede.

Those identifying as seccessionists will be deported.

[HAB911]

53. knee jerk by jerks

they haven't thought shit through

[LanternWaste]

54. Yougov should put an equally serious poll about unicorns and dragons.

Or who can beat up who in a fight between Captain America and the Apostle Paul.

[panader0]

55. Look up. Look down. Look at my thumb. Gee, you're dumb.

These idiots have no idea of the negative consequences of seceding.
