The Nation, a storied left-wing magazine, pondered the possibility of secession in an interview published Tuesday morning.The idea has been circulating on the left over the past few weeks, as Democrats ponder the possibility of President Donald Trump being re-elected. Though many mainstream media polls show former Vice President Joe Biden with a lead, the polls have been wrong before — and Trump is running a confident, energetic campaign, while Biden is barely leaving his house. The interview, “Should the United States Stay United?“, conducted by Jessica Suriano with Richard Kreitner,

The states stay, the democrats can feel free to go anywhere else in the world but here. Unfortunately they picked some of the most beautiful states to ruin but with a hundred years of good management, they can recover.

"Succession" passes the spell test but does not pass the meaning test.

They've got to take their share of the debt with them.

How about we just arrest and incarcerate all of the seditionists. I hear Gitmo is beautiful this time of year.

I've been saying for years we should have a 'civil' civil war. Might take a few years to completely separate fairly, debts, credits, etc. but it could be done. And in one country we could have all the normal, decent, hardworking, God-fearing, patriotic Americans and in the other all the democrats.

It normally wouldn't hurt my feelings a bit if California and a few other liberal states seceded from the US. Except for the inevitable wave of refugees escaping to the normal states after liberal policies drain their economies.

Looks like Trump's Wall just got a lot bigger as we have to keep left leaning states from corrupting the rest of the country.
I say do it libs. I t will not end the same as when Lincoln was president.

Secession is inevitable. Not because we are divided in opinion but because the new leftwing idealogy is incompatibel with capitolism and the Constitutional Republic as founded. Compromising means giving up capitalism and the constitution. The left wants to break away because they cant get their way and the right wants to break away to preserve what we had. The right has reached a point where we arent willing to compromise away any more of our liberties.
Secession is preferable to a bloody civil war.

As long as it is only republicans who flee those blue states that split off, I am good. Don't be bringing your bad, blue state voting habits. That gets old mighty fast.

We've said on here that we've been in a civil war with Marxist Dems since 2016.

If California secedes, those of us who remain will need heavy weapons, including tanks and artillery, and lots of ammo. A squadron of A-10's, if possible.
Give us a few months. We'll be back, populated by a lot fewer Democrats. No liberal politicians at all.

I'm laughing at those who believe you can negotiate with the Left. Seriously? They lie and cheat, it's who they are. If there's any rule they will happily follow, it's that what's theirs is theirs, and what's ours is negotiable.
No, much better to wait, then declare an insurrection, move in with the military. Military trials and executions of the leadership, re-education camps for the rest.

Didn't read the article because The Nation is absurd, but are they saying that Trump is going to bring slavery back?

They would be starving and involved in their own internal civil wars within a month of leaving the union.

Democrats already did this back in 1860 when they didn't like how things were going after the new Republican party declared all new territories will not be allowed to have slaves.
The 1864 election also had the Democrats in the North, under McClellan, a platform to end the war, but also allow the Southern states to secede, which would have kept slavery in those states.

Read Kurt Schlicter's novels. I suggest you start with "Indian Country". And after reading, you can get more guns and ammo.

Actually, if the Blue states seceded, I would favor NOT permitting free movement elsewhere. You screwed things up. You're NOT welcome here.

As a deep-red Repubbie in a deep-blue-run state full of other very red Repubbies, we will need some help and compassion. Please create a solution that lets us into your deep-red states, while keeping out those deep-blue policy bearers who will want to flee to and ruin your states.

Highly valuable info for BLUE secessionists. If you want to succeed (secede lol) you must hold your referendum in RED states. We in Texas will gladly mail in our votes and even pay the postage.

What a great idea. Allow the overwhelmingly blue states to form their own country, then soundly defeat them militarily and get our states back, all 50 of them - without progressives/communists - to once again be One Nation, Under God, Indivisible...

Ha! the New, (New Mexico) would consist of Albuquerque, Bernillo, Santa Fe, Taos and Las Cruces. The rest of the state ain't going anywhere! Especially the Southeast corner, where all of the oil and gas is. I suspect the other states would break up as well.

Secession will not be by states. It's already occurring, and it's regional.
For example, in NY State, the City, most of Long Island, and the Hudson valley up to Albany are Socialist. The rest of the State would cheer loudly if they seceded.
In California, it's a sliver of land averaging about 40 miles wide on the Pacific Coast. The rest of the State despises the LA - San Fran-sicko overlords.
In Colorado, you could kick Denver and Boulder out and the rest of the state would throw a giant party.
Texas, get rid of Austin and maybe Houston.
Georgia, get rid of Atlanta. Etc etc etc.

Split the country into red states and blue states. Divide all assets and debt. You get six months to decide where you want to live, and after that travel between different states requires a visa and passport. Works for me. Pretty sure the red states will be building walls to keep the liberals out sooner of later.
