A whopping two-thirds of Republicans in the South favor seceding from the United States while nearly half of Democrats in the Pacific region and almost 40 percent in the Northeast say the same, according to a new survey.

Support for secession is also considerable among independents in the Midwest and Great Lakes regions, where 43 percent say they would favor breaking away and forming their own country.

Half of independents in the South also favor secession while 43 percent of Republicans in the Rocky Mountain states share the same view.

Screwed up MSM headline, as usual. The dems/leftists are the ones who would be seceding from the United States. The Republicans/conservatives would simply represent the United States kicking the anti-Americans out of the Union.

If the south seceded, they would be a third world economy.

Historical example would be the Roman Empire. Florida, Texas, California, Seattle/Portland would all become independent nations.

Gaul, Iberia and Britain were all once Roman provinces.

We should extend the invitation to secede on a county-by-county basis. Indeed, we should even invite counties in Canada and Mexico, since we'd be forming a new country.

There is a massive amount of division right now. And it’s NOT the fault of both sides. It’s *entirely* the fault of the left for the following reasons:

1. The “systemic racism” hoax. You can’t basely accuse a majority of the country of being malevolent racists and expect them to like it.

2. Open borders. You can’t flood the country with illegal immigrants and expect the people being flooded to like it.

3. Attacks on Christianity and religious freedom. You can’t force everyone to love and approve of sexual deviancy.

4. Voter fraud. You can’t steal elections through phonied up absentee ballots, double-counting, intentional miscounting etc,, have your media cronies declare it all a non-story and expect the folks from whom the election was stolen to be happy about it.

5. Economic attacks on other states. States like California are attempting to dictate public policy in other states by sanctioning them for not following the party line on “LGBT” and other social issues, e.g., state won’t do business with those other states, state won’t pay for employees’ travel to other states for official business, etc. Part of our system of republican government has been the principle that national public policy is conducted at the congressional level. State government for running a state’s internal affairs, not the internal affairs of other states.

The truth, finally. These British papers are all that’s left of western journalism.

Wrong. The South would become the largest producer of oil and gas in the world for one.

That should read:

“The South would have the 3rd largest economy in the world.”

After we kicked out all democrat voters we would have a very business friendly economy. We would basically be America the way it was supposed to be.

There is no point in states like Georgia seceding unless they fix their voter fraud first.

I couldn’t agree more. We had a great run, but it’s time to bring this 50-state mess to an end. We cannot coexist with the venomous leftists who would be only too happy to have us all exterminated. We have NOTHING in common with them, there’s no national purpose and no common cause anymore.

Secession will not work because this is not a regional problem.

All 50 States have venomous leftists living in urban areas, who vote for the woman/grievance group/fag party(the democrats)

How would secession solve anything?

The answer is “de-urbanization”

When capital leaves the mega cities-

“the people will follow.”

I don’t think it is they don’t care, it is that we are witnessing there is nothing we can appear to be able to do about it.

When courts tell a voter they have “no standing” in the election process...well that’s one heck of a clarion call.

The trumpet sounded time and again in court after court. Nothing stopped the fraudulent states from certifying their vote, nothing.

The 11 confederate states have a combined GDP of $6 trillion dollars. That would be the third highest country in the world.
