I hope so. These red states have been ruining everything for a long time, it’s long past time to cut them off.

If America broke up there would be a huge sorting out. Conservatives would move to red areas and liberals to blue areas. Not everyone, of course, but there would be massive migrations. Millions of people moving this way and that.

Which on the net of it would be very bad for red states. Most educated people are liberal. Red states would be witnessing a massive brain drain that would ensure a slow death spiral into a third world country.
