this would be a huge win for the blue states. If the red states seceded the new nation would have: 7 of the 10 worst states in infant mortality, the 10 lowest rates of life expectancy, the 10 worst states for gun violence with only 1 of the 10 best states in the same measure (Iowa), the 15 worst state for obesity, 8 of the 10 least educated states for both high school and college, 9 of the 10 lowest average incomes, 9 of the 10 highest rates of poverty, all 10 of the highest divorce rates, 7 of the 10 highest welfare dependency states, 9 of the 10 highest crime rates. The new nation would be a third world country by the data
She has defended her call for a national divorce, saying the alternative is a civil war which she claims is coming. She has accused the left of bullying the American people and shoving woke culture down their throats. Now she says red states should prohibit anyone moving there from a blue state from voting for five years. She wants Biden impeached for visiting Ukraine. A national divorce? Margie is already suffering from two divorces, one from her husband and the other from reality. I suspect she's headed for a breakdown.

Where I live, I grew up with missile silos all over the place and control centers and jets flying over the farm from the air base everyday. There used to be a radar station just North here a few miles. Back in the seventies the Republicans, well everybody actually took the Soviet threat seriously. To see how they behave towards the Soviets now is just shocking.
Agreed. It’s actually pretty sickening. Presidents Reagan, Bush, Nixon, and all the other former Republican Party presidents I have failed to mention that are no longer here with us- are all turning over in their graves on this!
Seriously, are the blue states going to be five separate countries? To make this work we need to trade some states. The reds get Arizona, New Mexico, Georgia, Illinois and Virginia, and the blues get Idaho, Montana, Wyoming, North & South Dakota, Indiana and Ohio. Not sure what to do with Colorado and Utah. I imagine the reds would want southern California, but good luck turning that red. After that's done we'd have to repopulate a lot of people who don't want to live in a blue or red state. You know something? I don't believe it will work. Prepare for civil war!
