just 'cause some radical citizens within those states decide to start a petition, doesn't mean the state governments are in favor of secession.
 
We're still in the post election drama window where e everyone bitches and complains and says they are moving to whereverthehell. In this case, republicans don't have many "opposite of Obama's America" options except maybe Iran so they're throwing around this secede from the union crap.

Harrowing. And dumb.
 
I voted for Roseanne Barr this election. 👍

I decided to wash my hands of the whole thing.
 
Screw it, let those red states secede. Wel'll grind them into the dirt again. We should have let the South peacefully secede. Today, the north would be a frikkin utopia and the south would be a third world country.

Where would all the idiots from up north retire to?
 
So if the South recedes, can California keep all the tax money it donates to them? That'd be faaaantaassstic.

So you probably don't want a history lesson, but does Fort Sumter ring a bell? There was pretty widespread support in the North for letting the South secede peacefully before Fort Sumter.
 
we can't let the south secede, we need them for oil.

fine...we'll let them secede, but we'll keep a small sliver of land for a pipe from the gulf.

oh and SEC football, we still get to watch that ish.
 
The cost of creating a new government would be astronomical. Literally trillions of dollars. New federal government agencies, attempting to initiate a currency, sell bonds, paying of their share of the nat'l debt, the loss of federal jobs.

It's really pretty idiotic. If what would happen to them should they actually attempt this was laid before them, they would just realize its idiotic and stop blathering about it.
