      Exactly. Was gonna say, 2 basically has the least healthy, least educated, most poor, and most obese people of the entire country.

      Good luck

      “But we got all dem Gravy Seals! Ain’t they good for somtin’?”

      Yes, and you give yourself da Beetus buying soda with the food stamps paid for by New Yorkers.

      The sad part is how hard the South committed to losing. Not lost take the L and walk it off. Generational losing. Epic, century-long losing every single fucking day of every life of every redneck, cracker-ass dipshit. Systematic losing, so deeply ingrained that even when they get ahead a little bit, one fucking Yankee asswipe cons half of them out of their every last dime. And they’re glad to give it up.

      Roman empire levels of tragic, really.

    THE USA would not break apart like that. The red oblasts would suck Texas dry and the whole damn thing would end in a financial and economic calamity. The Blue States with their GDP would form a union and align it with Canada to create another “European Union.” A civil war would not worth a single American bone, just break it apart like the Czechs and Slovaks, peacefully.

      Based on behaviour to date do you seriously think the MAGAts will allow a peaceful split ?

      The group who rolled the military into blue states on a bullshit pretext are going to let their cash cow go free ?

      I don’t think so Tim.

        They don’t really have a choice.

        They will be slaughtered, Billy.

          1. Defender has the advantage.
          1. They can’t match nuclear, army or navy capability (especially navy)
          1. They can’t match people.
          1. They can’t match money.
          1. They can’t match manufacturing.

        The only advantage they have is “Jesus”, which, as we all know, is actually a disadvantage (though they are blissfully unaware).

    They’re idiots if they think that any sort of civil war would be broken up like that. It’d be the interior states versus the coastal states essentially. The coastal states could just cut off all outside shipments to the interior and watch them just decay.

    And there wouldn’t be an all out war because the ideologies at contention here aren’t readily segregated to one area of the country or the other in a stronger fashion. We’re highly mixed in a lot of areas. What would happen is lots of civil unrest and let’s be honest here, right wing perpetuated violence.

      This.

      They also think they’d be the ‘majority’ in this fight. And sure, they’d have a lot of land. But people… Money? No.

      When Biden won, something like over 80% of the GDP broke for the Democrats.

      Good luck funding a war with 20% of the money they country makes. There’s counties in California that make that much probably.

        I was going to say “this is yet another one of those ‘land doesn’t vote’ maps”.

        They dumped a lot of conservative states like Utah, Wyoming, and Montana into group 1, but group 1 has California. That’s where the people are.
