During his first term I started seeing balkanization chatter floating around a lot more, curious to see if that's what comes of all this shit.

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

I spent a few years in the CA Central Valley. There's lots of right-wing anti-California sentiment, but they often get cold feet when the talk of leaving the state comes up. They look down on other conservatives for not leaving, but have a litany of reasons why they themselves aren't packing up.
