God I would love the blue states to pull away so we can watch the red states cannibalize each other.
They need us. We definitely don't need them.
The ones in the middle are so few and far between, it makes sense for a Fallout: New Vegas military expansion from the east, west, and south. Carve up the middle so each gets a slice of the bread basket.

What's up with her saying things I agree with lately?
We need at least to be split into two countries if not more. There is no reconciliation possible at this point.
Long live Cascadia!
I'll need a new family, then. sigh
EDIT: Okay, I need one now, but it'll be official post-split.
It's a new country, not a new planet. Families can live across borders
Yeah? What's the split you have in mind?
Basically middle america and the south could be a country and then the eastern seaboard and the west coast could be their own countries as well.
Please don't lump me in with the South, thanks

Haha. I think Colorado would be a part of the western country.
I think when they said “middle America” they meant the straight line of states directly east of us, fellow Coloradan.
My hypothetical worry lies with Utah, then. How do they work in what I'm calling the Craft Beer Union?
They’re like Lesotho, or the Vatican. lol
Sounds fine to me.
Isn't almost every state basically a 50/50 split only slightly leaning one way or the other with the majority of each faction separated by urban and rural/suburban living? Hell, Texas has the second largest LGBT population in the country.
No, there are plenty of states that are very much blue or very much red.
I'd love to see that and laugh my ass off
Red states aren't capable of feeding their own population without cash from the blue states. A split would immediately result in a world power and a theocratic third world country which would make African countries organize a "we are the world" to help and feed the hungry there.
Red states sole economy is usually only Tourism, and soybeans/alfalfa and maybe milk/chicken, and this heavily relies on Immigrant labor 100%, and its prone and susceptible to disruption.
That’s bonkers. But release the Epstein files.
She should start and GTFO.
If the confederacy gets to keep the military industrial complex in the divorce (which I guess they will because it gives them a hard peepee) they'll be invading the union in no time, because they have no income to speak of.
Use the mississippi river, then go straight east to D.C. Anyone that identifies as Republican leaders are anti-American. Everyone else is American. Easy fix
Dibs on the name USA. They can be Donlandia or the Kingdom of Magastan or Dumbass Island.
WSA, ESA, NSA, SSA. No one gets USA.
Yes, NSA for the top half of the middle wasteland. Overload that TLA.
What? No respect for the Social Security Administration?
SOUTHERN oblast. florida will have to be rename MAR-ALOGO LANDIA.
