If that lights up red as fkn Rudolf Reindeer's nose this year(again,) then certainly it's time to consider letting them have their own country. The Electoral College has caused this resentment. This monochromatic cluster of micro majorities has gotten old. Nevada, Colorado, Ohio, New Hampshire,and Virginia are the close states. There is no clear cut massive blue cluster, The IMMEDIATE COASTS ARE BLUE, BUT INLAND THEY ARE NOT NEARLY AS BLUE, AND SOME RED STATES. The obvious cluster is the Southeast. Go. Be your own people. Outlaw abortion. Hava a rifle in every truck, van and car. Give gays bus fare, and tell them to be on their way. $4 MINIMUM WAGE...Lower taxes on corporate profits. Be proud when EXXON MOBIL reports 15 bil in quarterly profits (that increased because you've cut their taxes by a 3rd.) Whatever you want to do. Just go. Be proud of your Southern Values, but please do it in your own neck country. Thank You. You should want to do this. Why be trying to keep this fake dance up? We don't like your neck values, and you have every right to dislike our values. At some point, it becomes time to separate when people just don't have enough in common. Zig I simply disagree that the Southeast part of this country has anything to contribute to the rest of the country( Not anymore.) Any commerce will continue as is. You'll just get to make the neck laws that fit the area you live in. That's the best for all parties involved.
Can we give a round of applause to Scuds for getting this discussion started. The United States will need another civil war, I can't imagine the geographical separation can come in a peaceful, organized fashion. There will, unfortunately be enemies in every state and town, just more outnumbered. I imagine this Civil War will be very bloody and take it's toll on the American psyche

How should we split up the states? Any thoughts?
