Let’s just fucken split already and let them have their backwater country. Its not even worth it anymore. You cannot help these people. There is no cognitive function left to save.
Individual US states cant leave peacefully, or the US west coast would have long ago. Our federal laws wont allow it-- its basically declaring war. Except for texas, they made a deal when they joined that they can leave when they want to.
If Canada/Britain or Mexico would agree to take the defecting states on they’d stand a snowballs chance, but otherwise not so much.
Its all good, kinda feels like collapse is coming anyway. Can’t leave what doesn’t exist anymore.
Too Mutch inbreed !
Honestly a civil war would be much more plausible if it was geographically based. However majority of the skew is urban vs rural which makes it a lot messier and less likely.
So a post-apocalyptic fantasy rural frontier/urban civilization center split is fully within the realm of.possibility.
With US cities and states beibg pretty autonomous most things considered (for now at leas), it could easily happen without the US splitting as far as the world map goes.
In reality it’s gonna look like random mass shootings.
They’re a threat together and a greater threat apart.
How so?
Wouldn’t red states economies collapse if they were no longer subsidized/financed by the federal government and blue states?
Yes, and they’d presumably lash out against the “blue haired woke liberals” in neighboring states. They’d be a raid-based society by the end of year one.
They would become violent almost immediately
They’ll always be good for cheap labor and no regulations. Think how we spent the last half century outsourcing everything to China or India, it’ll be even better outsourcing to a third world hellhole close to home
And then, what? They sit there and quietly starve to death?
They would naturally come to terms with the practical limitations of their ideology and change accordingly. Or scapegoat their neighbors and go on a murderous rampage.
Ok
Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.
