We can't let Texas or Florida secede.

[Rustynaerduwell]

Let's just kick them out and be done with it.

[Shipwack]

1. So... Are you going to pay my moving expenses?

[48656c6c6f20]

7. Right of return to the normal states will be

Negotiated and most likely funded

[Torchlight]

2. Sounds serious

Good luck.

[Mr.Bill]

3. I'd rather see them both turn blue,

and that's possible.

[maxsolomon]

6. It's possible.

Decades hence.

[walkingman]

11. If Texas would turn blue with it's 38 electoral votes it would be over for the GOP.

It is possible and I think will happen but probably not in my lifetime. It's so damn hot these days that I see no good reason to stay here but too old to leave at this point.

[inthewind21]

4. Well

Since neither can or will ever happen... Just sayin

[The Magistrate]

5. It's A Sentiment I Can Sympathize With, Sir

[48656c6c6f20]

8. If I have dingles hanging from my ass

I get rid of them. Same for two states that will never change. Draw a border and do not recognize the newly formed country, Dumbfuckistan, declare the country of Dumbfuckistan a state sponsor of terror.

[Marthe48]

9. Instead of secession

just make all r's sign a loayalty oath to the U.S.A. Anybody who doesn't, ship them out. At this point, I don't care where.

[Harker]

12. I appreciate your thought...

but that's a proven slippery slope.

[Marthe48]

15. after the civil war

people who soldiered for the south were required to sign loyalty oaths to get their citizenship back. There was a cabal who wouldn't sign and moved to Brazil, and established what is still called 'Little America'. I can see it being a slippery slope, but it'd get rid of some bad apples.

I can dream.

[Harker]

16. As can I...

Brazil has suffered mightily...

and Antarctica is too nice for this basket of deplorables.

[Kid Berwyn]

19. Devil's Island is nice.

[rso]

10. Secession

With their large number of Electoral College votes, especially Texas, republicans would never again win a National Election. To say nothing of losing fairly reliably red Senate seats.

[BannonsLiver]

25. This.

Unfortunately it’s not going to happen though.

[mcar]

13. This shite again?

You do realize that there are millions of Democrats in TX and FL, myself included. Do you also realize that there are loads of Republicans in all the other states?

What do you propose we Democrats in FL do? Stop fighting? Leave?

I've lived in FL for 30 years and yes, it has gotten very frustrating. But every day, in my little red county, I see Democrats working hard to get Dems elected in this state.

Your suggestion is insulting to all of us.

[Rustynaerduwell]

20. It's just a frustration fueled fantasy, I know

but at this point, your state insults you more than I ever could.

[mcar]

22. Bless your heart

[rownesheck]

24. I live in Texas.

I'm not offended. I agree secession would never happen, but I like to dream. That way, hopefully, my family would finally be convinced we need to get the fuck out of here.

[Meadowoak]

14. Just make Trump King of Florida, he'll love it, they'll love it win win.

[FarPoint]

17. Why is this a question today, Now???

Explain what this is all about please.

[roamer65]

18. In 50 years, both states will be uninhabitable.

The question is how do we filter out the deplorables and stop them from migrating northward.

[Chainfire]

21. Many of the "deplorables" in Florida, started life somewhere else...

The general trend is migration from the North to the South. I am a native Floridian, a Yellow Dog Democrat, son of a Yellow Dog Democrat, who was the son of a Yellow Dog Democrat. There was a time, not too long ago, when elections were generally decided in the Democratic Primaries. Between 2010 and 2020 our population grew by over 15%, a lot of that was well off people from the North escaping snow, many of the very conservative.

Damn the Republicans, not the general population.

Now, Texas is another matter....

[mcar]

23. Thank you

I've lived in FL for 30 years and have seen what Republicans have done to this state as more and more deplorables migrated here.

[roamer65]

26. That migration will eventually switch direction from as climate change becomes blatantly obvious.

You are right on their some of the deplorables origins and we don’t want them back.

[Chainfire]

28. By the time that comes about, it won't be my problem any more.

I am more worried about the immediate slide towards Fascism; that situation is far more likely to rob me of my happiness.

[AntivaxHunters]

27. And replace then with DC & Puerto Rico? I'm down!

[Bucky]

29. As a Texan may I just say fuck off with that nonsense

The fascist Republican Party is not taking my country from me... and neither are you.
