This is the 2016 presidential result.
If the country does split you have blue areas surrounded by red areas.
You'd still have to deal with liberalism within the Red states.
IF Texas does secede-—I predict at least 26 or more other states joining them.
Works for me.
Well, nobody is going to be allowed to secede without a fight, and if we are going to have to fight either way, why not fight to take the whole enchilada?
The author leaves out the third scenario and the only scenario that has any chance to succeed.
Breaking away from state A and merging with state B. For example numerous Oregon counties breaking away and merging with Idaho.
Can anyone imagine Abbott and DeSantis joining together in a red state secessionist movement to Make Part Of America Great Again?
I can’t either.
Can you talk about secession or de-annexation, which I think in Texas' case would be more appropriate, without being labeled or charged with seditious conspiracy?
Could secession happen?
I have to refresh memory about states leaving the union at the time of the Civil War. But if I recall correctly, South Carolina was the first to secede, and then other states joined in.
If one state were to secede, would others join; would the floodgates open up?
History tells us that President Lincoln used military force to keep states in the union. Would military force be used today, if states wanted to secede? I wonder about that aspect of things.
335 million hugely diverse people cannot be peacefully governed as one nation.
Job One...
How do we divide the former “United” states without violence and without economic destruction?
Good Lord, if the Red states leave, where will DC get the cash for the fat pensions they deserve??
The war to keep the slaves will be righteous.
I’m all in for Texas to secede!

Wont happen unless complete failure of monetary system. Too many dependent upon social security, and that includes many in the conservative block. A military coup the more likely scenario if things were to get really bad.
Hey what happened to the last democrat manipulation?
The one that said millions of Americans were so happy with both parties and so ‘fair’ that they would split their votes between democrats and Republicans?
What about that lie? To assist with voter fraud?
Now we’re back to the old lie?
That's a distinction, but is there much of a difference.
Hard times ahead if the country splits up.
Russia and China and Iran’s wildest dream.
who controls the skies wins.
Should also mention- there is a movement in NY state to divide the state in two- NY chitty and the rest of us. Won’t happen but its good to see people this fed up.
The nation created by the Founders and which I grew up in is dead and gone.
The US is now continually transforming into a Satanic dystopia where normal people are persecuted and robbed.
bkmk
I wonder if either attack from China or enormous earthquake at New Madrid etc leading to Federal intability & then some form of civil war.
