At this point, I think I'm in favor of the balkanization of the US.

I will say this:  We'll have all the farmers and ranchers, because you leftist shitbags sneer at them and mock them and hate them.

Can anyone photoshop this:


To change the Red to "United Conservative States of America" and Blue to "New Venezuela?"

Not to mention one very important thing . . .

Water.

I wonder where they think the corn and wheat needed for most things will come from DC and north?

Not to worry. They will use Brawndo on the crops.

From the grocery store  organic vegan food co-ops, of course!

Though Jerry Moonbeam Brown & Co. are working on getting rid of them, there are a lot of farmers and ranchers in CA's Central Valley, Salinas Valley, and Inyo, Monterey, San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, and Ventura Counties. OR, WA, IL, and MI have substantial agricultural areas as well, for now. But NE Prog States would be up the proverbial Odoriferous Creek lacking propulsion.

I'll need to remember this the next time there's a thread in which a DUmmy claims that the Republicans want to secede/ split up the country.
Awesome point as well on how it's pretty much guaranteed that they'll run out of food, since they mainly live in urban areas that can't grow anything and much of their populations are lazy welfare parasites.

A few more points to understand:
In the Blue States, they will rapidly cave to every single demand LGBT activists scream about, eventually leading to them overturning the ban on gays donating blood. They'll pat themselves on the back about how enlightened they are and how they're an enclave of tolerance, but it'll backfire on them in a year or so when all of a sudden, at least a third of the Blue States' population is HIV- positive.

It's guaranteed that they'll fully open their borders to all illegal immigrants, then later they'll be completely mystified as to how it is that California seems to be controlled/ influenced more by its increasingly powerful urban gangs than by its elected officials. They'll probably say something like, "One of the first things we did when we separated from those Red State rednecks was to completely outlaw guns in our states, yet California's gun- murder rate is through the roof, especially in its southern areas! We just don't get it, it's as if violent criminals don't care about the fact that they're breaking our gun laws!"

They'll inevitably outlaw openly practicing Christianity and Judaism (Those who follow those faiths will then flee to the Red States where they can practice their faith in peace), and grant Islam all kinds of special privileges. Then, as we've seen happening already in England, the massive influx of Muslim immigrants will designate whole neighborhoods as "Muslim- only areas," and demand to be allowed to govern those areas from within by Sharia law. The Blue States' political leaders will of course cave to this demand in order to avoid seeming intolerant or "Islamophobic", and this will embolden the Muslims enough that they'll expand and seek to do the same of entire towns and even cities. All the while, Jihadists will perform terrorist attacks against non- Muslim areas of the Blue States on a regular basis.

Works for me dummie.  We could fund the new Conservative States of America by selling the Degenerate States of America food and electrical power and taxing the shit out of it... and you would pay it.  You would gladly pay it when your belly is empty and you are sitting in the dark looking at your electric yugo by the curb.

Yeah, their "Green Energy" probably won't be enough to supply even a tenth of the Blue States' energy needs, so we'll make out like bandits selling them power.

Having traveled extensively around NYS, I can tell you that there's a lot more agricultural land, especially in the western part of the state (i.e., west of I-81), than you think.  There's not a whole heluva lot of it, say, in the 10000-series ZIP codes, however.

The only problem with NY is that east of Syracuse very little is conducive to actual grain production,hence the dairy industry.
I tell the local farmers here that the only time you use land to support milking cows is when there is simply no other kind of farming you can do with it.

Any trade, including food or energy, will require commodity money, because Unicorn Buxx will be worthless outside Bluetopia and they won't have a gold reserve to support their currency.

You recognize the obvious and then in an instant run away from it.

I know, I saw that and my head swam from the dissonance.  1)  We'll starve.  2)  We'll prosper!

4. One of our biggest problems is the lack of equality in our representation

A state like North Dakota gets a congressional representative at the rate of let's say 1 in 225,000. On the other hand, a place like New York gets one representative for like every 700,000 citizens.
And both states have two Senators.
How is this equal?

DUmmies, for all of the brains that they sit on, forget that originally the US Senate represented the interests of the state, not the people. Each state got two, regardless of size of population. A states population count determined the number of House representatives.

Having 2 Senators per state and at least one House member were measures intended to make it more difficult for large population cities and states to govern to the detriment of smaller states. IOW, to make more difficult the oppressions Libs & Progs want to impose.

[txradioguy]

I wonder if this DUmmie realizes that the EU in it's current form is really a failed attempt to emulate the US?

The one thing the Euroweenies didn't understand is you can't run independent countries the way you do a union of 50 States.

[CollectivismMustDie]

DUmp-monkey must have failed civics. That's exactly what the US was supposed to be... until a bunch of red commie leftist bastards started demanding federal control over everything and ruined it.
They tend to forget the sovereign state thing, most especially when someone doesn't want to issue gay wedding licenses or allow perverts in the womens bathroom.

Yes yes yes. Not just failed civics either. Failed History and general humility. The combination of ignorance of recorded history, and arrogance "we can succeed with whats failed before" required to arrive at this conclusion is epic:

And it will also provide for a natural experiment comparing political ideologies.

That is actually deplorable.
