Nah. No need. Better strategy would be for conservatives in blue or red states (in that priority order) to infiltrate and turn purple states like Ohio, Colorado, Florida, etc into red states. Of course it would take a long time and require a large number of people willing to do it. But this is what the dems are doing - perhaps not be design. DC liberals moving into VA and turning it purple / blue.

Not saying this is any sort of answer but we need to be thinking outside the box.

Where, exactly, is “here”?

Thanks, Chuck. I had not heard of that project. But yes that is exactly what I was saying. I found their site. Their goal was to recruit 20K people. Their site says they are up to 1,113 with 13, 397 “participants”. I guess participants include donors. Not sure of the impact but something like this on a grand scale (or other outside the box such ideas) would at least have a chance at making a difference over time.

That covers a lot of territory my friend. You know what I have in common with the solid deep blue West side of Chicago? Absolutely nothing. I’d love to be able to secede from there. What do I have in common with San Francisco, LA, Detroit, or Cleveland? Absolutely nothing.

I say good riddance to them. Let them drown in their own filth.

Secession is not a practical or realistic solution. People who find the USA to be intolerable should emigrate. It's simply masochistic for such people to stay in the USA and dream of secession.

The Confederados, did not stay here and suffer. They moved to Brazil, a place that they thought was better and a place where they could honor their own heritage.

Check out this very short video. As one Confederado points out, they are the most Southern people in the world. And, unlike the folks who stayed in the USA, they are the only truly unreconstructed Confederates left in the world.
