So Marjorie Three Names is calling for a national divorce.

[Initech]

OK let's play her game then! So here's what would be on the table if the red states were to secede:

1. The red states would lose complete representation in the House, Senate, and Supreme Court.

2. The red states would also lose any support of the United States military for both domestic and foreign operations. And their bases would still be the property of the United States.

3. They would not get control of Washington, DC.

4. They would also lose any subsidy money coming in from blue states like California, Oregon, Washington, New York, etc.

5. They'd have to formulate their own government and write their own constitution (and come on, that infighting would be fucking spectacular to watch). They'd also have to create and fund their own military. Which, considering they don't like to pay taxes, would go broke in about a week.

6. Considering they don't believe in things like rules and regulations, their entire industries would fall apart.

7. Also since they don't tax anything, and don't believe in taxes their government would be broke in about a week.

8. Also since they don't believe in Social Security, there'd be no retirement money waiting for them either.

9. Also, also, since they don't like "woke" education and prefer dictators, it wouldn't be long before they turn into North Korea either.

So yeah I'd give their little experiment about a week before they go broke and turn into a third world country, and would be begging to return. And even that's being too generous.

1. Let's see her write up a proposal. Instead of sitting at the end of the bar yelling into her beer

[Initech]

10. She's the crazy person at the end of the bar that no one wants to talk to.

Because everything she says is batshit off the rails crazy.

[Skittles]

2. WHY are people who DO NOT BELIEVE IN AMERICA allowed in its government

SHE IS CRAZY

12. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++!!

[RKP5637]

3. Let them go and good riddance.

Let them go and good riddance.
With NO return path!!!

[multigraincracker]

4. Her and those 19 other KGB agents

in congress need to go.

[JHB]

5. 10: say bye-bye to those military bases...

...and every other federal facility (NASA, etc.). Also, fund your own military contractors, we can build all that stuff in blue states.

But the whole subject is moot: the proper response is the same as for the last bunch of traitorous bastards who wanted that: "NO!"

We don't need a client state to a foreign power on our border.

6. Why stop there?

Any red counties in a blue state should be allowed to opt out. Much of eastern Oregon wants to merge with Idaho.

[Prairie_Seagull]

7. Lets allow them a trial separation first.

Give them a decade to wallow in their own shit. Hat in hand they would come slithering back.

[Celerity]

8. Wait until you have a Rethug POTUS send in federal troops to blue States to enforce a nationwide

abortion ban after the SCOTUS grants foetal personhood down the road.

Blue States will instantly have huge secession movements in them.

[sinkingfeeling]

9. From her? Alright!

[lindysalsagal]

11. She should be thrown out for this. I don't understand whey this is

being tolerated. You want a seat in a government for a country you don't want to exist?

[2naSalit]

13. +1

[sarcasmo]

14. Clueless Marjorie.

[GoCubsGo]

15. I'm all for the divorce.

Hey Margie, if you don't like it here, get the fuck out. Just go live somewhere else, if you hate the people in this country so much. Delta is ready when you are. Please leave. Go bury yourself in your sweet Daddy Vlad's bosom, since you love him so much. Go. Please fuck off and go, and take the rest of your MAGA cult with you.

[bluestarone]

16. These type of cultist creeps would turn on each other in a minute if

They lived in the same state. Hell give them their guns and pick a state and let them have at it!

[Initech]

17. No doubt this new country would make dueling legal.

[Marius25]

18. I'm ok with that. I don't want to live in the same country as Greene

and her fascist supporters. If blue states no longer have to subsidize red state cesspools, we can watch red states turn into Somalia while blue states prosper.
