30. With all the talk of civil war

With all the talk of civil war that gets thrown around, and it is just talk but if it weren’t just talk, I say this time let them go if they want to secede. Don’t fight em. Just let them go and let them see how it fares for them. No bloodshed. No shots fired. Just let them go and have their christo-fascist jesus land. And when they starve and are left behind in the dust they will come crawling back.
