    If the southern states want to leave the US, just let them. Nothing of value will be lost.

      There are a lot of left wing people in the south that don’t deserve to be left behind or ignored, and treating political campaigning and general efforts to improve things in the south like a waste of time and money only adds to the problem.

      Georgia gave y’all the senate majority and you want to spit in their faces for it.

        No one wants to spit in their faces. It’s just their responsibility to get out the votes.

        Lots of liberal people in the South don’t vote, and then they wonder why they lose. Local government has one of the biggest effects on people’s lives and many people ignore it.

      I mean, they’d instantly sell out to Russian and/or China, flood our markets bypassing import terrifs and sanctions, and militarily give away the gulf for a massive foreign military and commerce foothold.

      Don’t fall for that patriotic crap. They are bought very cheaply.
