      Even the reddest counties in the reddest states vote 10% blue. Most red states have strong pockets of blue in cities. (Nashville, Charleston, pretty much all of south Florida). Many southern states are purple or even blue! Georgia has two blue senators and a governor! Virginia has two blue senators and a red governor. North Carolina is up there too.

      I’m very afraid for those people if the fascist lunatics get more control. I know you are sort of joking that we can’t just abandon them to that fate.

      Also selfishly: do we really want the Christian Taliban to create an Afghanistan with y’all Quida next door to us? That wouldn’t end well.

      At this point, seeking political asylum in an open air interment camp doesn’t seem a bad dream. It’s ridiculous here.

      I’d love to see their declarations for seceding this time. Last time it was universally about slavery, I’m sure this time it will be wokeness or cheeks absent from Trump’s rear

      One problem: You will create a country with third world mentality on religion, but with first world weapons. They’ll immediately start a holy war against the north, and if they succeed, the rest of the world.

        They can’t take our military equipment with them. Let them try to use their AR-15s against our drones and nukes.
