    I might be in the minority, but I say let 'em go: provided they take a proportional amount of the US debt with them, and give back all the military assets that the rest of the country bought. They can re-staff all those military bases they named after Confederates on their own dime, while paying back debt and funding their own Social Security.

    I bet once they actually get presented the budget for their ideas, all of a sudden they decide they like the Blue states (and their tax base) a lot more than they used to.

      I fully agree, fuck em. What do they contribute, cotton? I’m willing to pay higher prices for imported goods to get rid of those racist pricks once and for all.

        We’d have to move Kennedy Space Center to Guam or something. There’s a good, nonpolitical reason it’s in Florida.
