Really, that state has never done anything good for the country. Alabama is so backwards, constantly producing idiots like Jeff Sessions and Roy Moore. Let them have their 'dear freedom' once and for all and let the rest of America get a break from the abusive State of Alabama. My apologies to the the DU folks from Alabama.

(31,828 posts)I think NJ, NY, MA should secede this time. Really - I've only lived in two US states (formative years in West German) -
NJ now for 12 years. I seriously think we are different and for example - should not have these folks boots on our necks on gun control, abortion, etc. etc.
States rights.

And Rick Bragg who writes like magic
And those locals who marched in Selma and the children who died in Birmingham
And Doug Jones who convicted their killers
Jim Nabors who bravely came out, married his partner and died today
And considerable Native Americans who were forced out and died on The Trail of Tears
And the many, many, many people who will vote for Jones
And Im sick of having to point out that the loud and loutish majority overwhelms millions of fine people who dont deserve your contempt and are harmed by it.

(720 posts)And how about all the other states that are controlled by Republicans, or voted for Trump--Florida, North Carolina, Wisconsin, Michigan, Pennsylvania, West Virginia (which actually split off from Virginia during the Civil War because it supported the Union), the entire midwest basically. The Southwest need to go, the mountain states, parts of Maine.
