Would get nasty pretty quick. We really just need the Federal Gov do what they are supposed to and get out of the way. Let the states do what they do. nope. other way around. blue areas currently support red areas. blue voting districts account for 75% of state and local taxes and 73% of federal tax.

Yes, with taxes. Too bad red areas have all the resources. Cant make all that white collar money without power, water, food, gas etc. Oh yeah, guns. Edited February 21, 2023 by Demongyz 1

How are they going to make up for all the lost "income" from social programs like welfare, food stamps and medicaid? it will be difficult for them to wean from the gov't teets. 1

ChiGoose Posted February 21, 2023 Posted February 21, 2023 Anyone supporting the dissolution of the United States is a traitor and should be treated as such. We may have our disagreements but the moment you start seeing your fellow Americans as the enemy is the moment you’ve betrayed the values this country was founded upon. 3 1 1 1

For the record, I'm being facetious re separation of states. It is treasonous. Just pointing out the economic consequences of the idea the evil congresswomen advanced.

LeviF Posted February 21, 2023 Posted February 21, 2023 I've always seen the "national divorce" sort of talk as a mechanism for right-of-center Americans to vent frustration both at the current state of government AND the current state of the Republican party. That they see separation from the country as a more plausible route to government representation than overthrowing GOPe leadership. We're already seeing some trends toward decentralization in Florida, Texas, Arizona. States accelerating towards that rather than open war seems far more likely. The question is whether the federal government wishes to attempt state leadership overthrow or perhaps kill people in some fruitless attempt to stop it. 2

Not sure they're gonna find one they agree with on the state level. If it doesn't pander to them at the expense of everyone else, it's no good. Edited February 22, 2023 by redtail hawk
