[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP, are you openly seditious IRL, or are you just flexing your muscles? There's a degree of irony to your proposing this days after the sesquecentennial anniversary of Antietam. I think that collectively the southern states are a depressing pull on the US, but I think with better educational opportunities there's no reason why they should be.[/quote]

I'm genuinely curious, because we cannot go on the way we are. Neither side is willing to compromise on any number of issues, and perhaps shouldn't have to. I was not linking this with Antietam at all. Just had too many "straw that broke the camel's back" instances lately." I would actually say that the northern states are heading us toward a terrible spot, but with a non-socialism regime they too could be straightened out. [/quote]

The press makes too much of "red state" and "blue state".  A red state is probably 40+% Democrat, and a Blue state is probably 40+% Republican, except for Utah and a few outliers.  So in reality there will be two separate countries, each of which will have a 40% minority who feels that they are unserved.  [/quote]
