I am down with that, I'll stand with all the productive blue states, GOP Nazis can take the bible belt and Southern 'confederacy'.
I'll happily trade houses with someone in the West who wants to join their conservative bretheren.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Pretty sure they're going to form super states like post Soviet countries, weaken the remaining union as much as they can, and then send national guard from super states to invade blue states.
Fuck man, I'm in the middle of all that fucking bible belt out. you'll have a lot of us trying to get the hell out.
Honestly, we still are now.
Right? Guess we don't matter? Except if we leave, the random queer and neurospicy kids grow up with 0 examples and are completly PTSD'ed even if they do make it out.
Sounds great. /s
Too many people still intuit that people they percieve as stupid will produce inferior offspring. We're more like apple trees
There are a lot of things can't be cut out of nature by humans even with crispr. There's a lot of emergence, and odds.
The first and last 6 minutes of Idiocracy need to be reshot to demo the effect of chronic poverty on human development instead of Eugenics "dumb ppl make dumb ppl like disney boygirl offspring looks like parents". All that environmental and emotional and nutritional neglect add up to medical grade damage for everyone, in diverse effect.

I hate to say it, but I agree with mtg here. Cascasdia now!
I actually don't disagree (which is twice now that MTG and I agree on conclusions, albeit for incredibly different and opposed reasons--i can't tell whether this is just early onset dementia, which runs in my family after all), but i can't help but doubt she understands how utterly economically devastating this would be for red states. Nevertheless, sure, northeastern autonomy--from the tippy tip of Maine down to DC and west to Philly.

"Anyone" means her. O well
My little part of the world certainly isn't safe for her specifically.
Called this reaction from MTG, she's afraid the president kills her, like he did with Kirk.

I don't think the country can afford to pay for everyone one to move to a star of their color choice.

I've been calling it the Untied States for months, I think few people have noticed
Greene was quickly denounced at the time. Utah Governor Spencer Cox ( R) slammed Greene’s call to split the country as “evil,” and former Rep. Liz Cheney (R-WY) added that “Secession is unconstitutional. No member of Congress should advocate secession, Marjorie.”
Hmm glad those states aren't on board with some kind of far right conspiracy plan.
Mississippi National Guard readies for disaster response drill
“Vigilant Guard 2025,” will take place May 12-18. It will give participants the opportunity to activate and employ their response plans to improve mission command, relationships, and interoperability among federal, state, and local agencies.
Guardsmen from Mississippi, along with those from Georgia, Tennessee, South Carolina, Texas, Utah, and Wyoming, the ability to command a statewide response to a major disaster in coordination with the Mississippi and Tennessee Emergency Management Agencies
No idea if this is just coincidence, but kinda weird this "drill" took place a few months ago on the border between TN and MS right outside of Memphis. Where Trump currently happens to be deploying the national guard...
How would it work exactly? It's not like most people could just up and move. Unless you do it by id system. Blue you get out in a national healthcare type system. Red you keep paying the health insurance companies.
Blue vs blue crime, blue judge. Red vs red, red judge. Red vs blue crime the criminal to go face whatever the victim or plantiff is.
But as far as a leading president, no idea how that would work
Yeah, people are gonna have to move if they want, just like they can now but with a deadline.
Yeah it's gonna suck.
