    So Lincoln is the bad guy now?

    Gee, usually Trumpsters brag about him being a Republican.

    California is far and away the biggest producer of food in the U.S.

    Anyway, this may be the stupidest thread I've ever seen on this forum (and that's saying something).

    I have lived in several of them at one time or another. There is not a single thing that you do in the blue states that we cannot do in the red states. In addition we have most of the farm land.

    Oh? Let's see what happens when all your communications go dark.

    The blue states also have most of the population to feed, but California only produces 13% of the agricultural products.

    Red staters have zero clue about free trade? Do tell me more.

    If I remember correctly, it was a blue stater who first brought this up. I just pointed out that we would likely make out better in the long run.

    Your cell phone and the software within it sure does. Just have to wonder what happens when it is disabled.

    Okay, all of us will starve in the blue states, and all the red states will be a big beautiful white country with a giant wall around it.

    Y'all can work the fields and drink moonshine and watch Hee Haw. It'll be great.

    These red staters are regular comedians underestimating the power of the blue states. No surprise considering their news source are brightfarce and fake news central Alex Jones.

    Yes, they are funny. They do have the best comedians, Jeff Foxworthy and, uh, those other couple of guys.

    Even if only blue states have control of cell phones, about half the time I don't even carry my cell phone. I lived for more than sixty years without it and can probably make it for a few more years.

    Theres a difference between 'losing control' and 'losing the constitution'. The latter is what will lead to war.

    Republicans (neocons, RINOs) are as much a problem as progressives in this regard. All are undermining the constitution for various agendas.

    You know what you're really going to miss? All the people you hate.

    You'll have to go back to hating each other like the Hatfields and The McCoys.

    Btw, what are you going to call your new country?

    What you dont understand is that, for many, stability is synonomous with individual constitutional rights. You cant cant have one without the other. Restrictions on speech, self defense and the erosion of capitalist private property equates to instability for the individualist.

    Unity is only important when it comes to national defense and interstate trade. Neither of these is worth sacrificing individual rights.

    Also, you have yet to demonstrate anything I've said as an actual 'threat.'

    So when you start your new country, are you going to use the same Constitution we have now, or write up a new one?

    I think you should start with the most important amendment, Number 2. Funny it's number 2, as it's a load of sh*t. But for gawd's sakes, please make it more clear. Just write something like "every single person has the right to a huge load of guns and weapons of any kind and can sling 'em around whenever and wherever they like 24/7 because man, we love our guns and weapons and war and stuff. We really do! Yeehaw!"

    California and Colorado are right up there with beef.

    But you know, us snowflakes don't eat meat, just kale and pot brownies.

    We don't need to import.

    That would certainly be prudent. If it were up to me, I would make it a lot harder to deliberately misinterpret many parts of the C.

    And therein is how the flyover states prevail in any civil war.... the people who vote democrat are in a tight urban population, they depend on us uneducated rubes for food and energy. A mere blockade of food trucks and they'd be in mass hysteria in three days, and after three weeks, they'd be eating each other.
