Secession Is Here: States, Cities and Wealthy are Already Withdrawing from America
Story by Michael J. Lee • Yesterday 3:24 PM
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene, a Republican from Georgia, wants a “national divorce.” In her view, another Civil War is inevitable unless red and blue states form separate countries.
She has plenty of company on the right, where a host of others – 52% of Trump voters, Donald Trump himself and prominent Texas Republicans – have endorsed various forms of secession in recent years. Roughly 40% of Biden voters have fantasized about a national divorce as well. Some on the left urge a domestic breakup so that a new egalitarian nation might be, as Lincoln said at Gettysburg, “brought forth on this continent.”
The American Civil War was a national trauma precipitated by the secession of 11 Southern states over slavery. It is, therefore, understandable that many pundits and commentators would weigh in about the legality, feasibility and wisdom of secession when others clamor for divorce.

Free Vulcan:
We are going to have a nat'l divorce whether we want it or not. The FedGov is going to become increasingly financially impotent as time goes on, and it's going to recede to more and more of a rump state.
The territory will reorganize along the blue state urban areas and red rural areas, and state or new nation lines will be drawn from there.
For the time being, many states like Missouri and Texas are passing laws to prepare themselves to go alone.

Call me what you want. I really don't want to live in a country that relishes and thrives in my tax dollars as entitlement slugs.
Day 1 of the creation of Galtville gets closer by the moment.

The biggest losers of a national divorce would be sparsely populated rural Southern, Midwestern, and Western states - the ones that grow our food.

RINO prognosticates:
"The biggest losers of a national divorce would be sparsely populated rural Southern, Midwestern, and Western states - the ones that grow our food."
Why do you think that?
Any state that "grows food" will ALWAYS have a market for that food.
If not "in the blue states" -- that "market" will be in trade with other nations.
What is Rhode Island going to do when the food shipments stop?
