    Republicans control the SC, so yes their is the risk, the answer is to vote and make sure people that support the constitutional protection of America fill those positions, not people accused of sexual abuse because they support a certain political agenda

    I guess that's why it's called a Civil War...

    cuz it's so civil when you want to blow the heads off of your fellow countrymen.

    The breadbasket in general supports Trump and what he is doing for America. The east and left coast are against doing great things for America. You figure it out.

    Funny thing about the flyover states, they are always a few steps behind.

    Naturally, as the left always desires to throw their political opponents in prison.

    That statement is a microcosm of rare truth from you.

    If America actually had a civil war and came apart, the survivors would be well advised to start learning Mandarin.

    You think we don't have frickin trucks and truckers?

    You guys are hilarious.

    You know, at first I thought this thread was beyond ridiculous (and demented)...I like the U.S. and all the people from all the states. And the checks and balances should be a good thing.

    but really...

    what the hell do we need the red states for anymore?

    Guns?

    The biggest manufacturer's are in the blue states!! :nana:

    Of course, that's one possibility, and the United States can pay for it with the federal subsidies to the Noe-Confederate States that they will be saving.

    I am not sure what study you are using. However, a few years ago there was a study which showed how blue states were subsidizing red states. Most of the reason was because residents in red states tended to pay less federal income tax than residents in blue states. That was ironic, because the left or blue staters also believed that people that make more money should pay a higher percent of that income in federal income taxes. Apparently, they only believe that only someone else who is making more money should pay more income taxes.

    That means without the blue states, red staters will have to pay higher taxes. Interesting.

    They won't pay no taxes cuz they don't need no gubment picking their pocket!

    No laws, cuz everyone is decent and law abiding. No elites or colleges filling people's heads with communist lies.

    It'll just be survival of the fittest, like Lord Of The Flyovers.

    You can believe as you wish.

    In reality, the states most fiscally-dependent on the federal government - Mississippi, Louisiana, Tennessee, South Dakota , Missouri, Montana, and Georgia - cannot afford to abscond.

    And, given that no state is homogeneous in its residents' ideological allegiance, secession would merely set the precedent for that state's subsequent internal secessions. Secession triggers the progressive dissolution of the state.

    Which a lot of people would have less of a problem with if they agreed more on what those taxes bought.

    ...which could happen if we payed less federal taxes and more local taxes.

    ...which could happen if states and even counties had more autonomy of self government.

    ...which is likely what secessionists want and would do.

    It won't be "red' states vs. "Blue states" , it will be rural areas vs. urban areas... urban areas have no farms or oil wells.

    You are starting to go off the rails..WE pay taxes, we still have state and local government and at least we can SEE the services they provide. We do tend to be decent and law abiding because an armed society is a polite society. Our universities teach how to rationalize, how to study the material, when presented with all the facts students can decide what are the lies; and our schools teach technical skills that pay very well. Socialism/communism is a lie.

    California is the nation's leading agricultural state, producing a wide variety of fruits and vegetables including carrots, lettuce, tomatoes, onions, and broccoli. The state's most valuable crops include cotton, grapes, and oranges. California is also a leader in the production of dairy products and wine. Of course, agricultural specializations exist in all 50 states, often determined by comparative advantage, and crops can often be changed to fulfill market demand.

    California produces 13% of the US agricultural products and has 12% of the population. One bad year and they are in deep trouble. On the other hand the red states are spread out and rarely all have a bad year. We always export considerably more than we produce.

    yeah yeah California has a lot of farms, we'll just buy it from Mexico, so tell me, where's the energy production in those blue counties that are going to run your trucks and ships?... I keep telling you, it's blue COUNTIES vs. red COUNTIES

    So Lincoln is the bad guy now? Depends on who you ask...
    Gee, usually Trumpsters brag about him being a Republican. Not a Trumpster anymore than your a Jihadist.
