I have written many times about those parts of this country that have rumblings of secession…..Texas, Alaska, part of Oregon but that is not where this story ends…..a recent survey has shown that many Southern states would like to see a secession.
A shocking YouGov poll found that 66% of Republicans in southern states want to secede from the United States.
The survey, by YouGov in conjunction with BrightLineWatch, looked at the current political climate in America. The most stunning question concerned support or opposition for the state in which respondents lived in “seceding from the United States to join a new union with [list of states in new union]?”
Five prospective new unions were constructed (by region) “and inserted the relevant states for respondents into the question wording above. For example, a participant from California in our survey would be asked about joining a new union along with Washington, Oregon, Hawaii, and Alaska,” explains BrightLineWatch. These sets are provided below:
Pacific: California, Washington, Oregon, Hawaii, and Alaska
Mountain: Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, Utah, Colorado, Nevada, Arizona, and New Mexico
South: Texas, Oklahoma, Arkansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Georgia, Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, Virginia, Kentucky, and Tennessee
Heartland: Michigan, Ohio, West Virginia, Illinois, Indiana, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa, Missouri, North Dakota, South Dakota, Kansas, and Nebraska
Northeast: Maine, New Hampshire, Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Delaware, and the District of Columbia
SHOCK POLL: Two in Three Southern Republicans Want to Secede From the United States
Seriously!
Apparently these morons slept through the class on the Civil War and how it ended not so well for the South…..
For me this is very disturbing.
But if they want to go then let them.
Cut off all Federal aid and payments….most Southern states who depend on those dollars will become a third world nation….more so than they are now.
When a disaster or crisis hits the region they will be begging and pleading for help…
I say let them beg!
If they turn their backs on this country thn they deserve whatever is that comes to bite them in the ass.
I have NO time for this stupidity.
Turn The Page!

In Saner Thought 
In the US South – too many still buying racism and fake “freedom” which has always allowed elites to pick the pockets of the working people and deposit their ill gotten gains in New York Banks – grin.
Good synopsis…..chuq
Have you read the book ‘The Handmaid’s Tale’, or watched any of the excellent TV adaptation? This sounds like the beginnings of a fundamentalist Christian Right-wing dictatorship like the one featured in the book. The states no longer part of America take the new name of ‘Gilead’, and fight a constant war against ‘insurgents’ from the remaining parts of what was America. I can see something similar happening one day.
Best wishes, Pete.
No I have not….but I hear from many who do and they seem to agree with you chuq
