In the non realistic fever dream of States seceding I always felt Colorado would get shafted since it struck in the middle of the US.

  • California, Oregon, Washington are fine since they have the Pacific Ocean.
  • Minnesota, Michigan, maybe Wisconsin all share a border with Canada to the North.
  • New York and many of the North East States either border Canada or the Atlantic Ocean.
  • Colorado borders all Deep Red States and New Mexico.

I feel like it wouldn't take much to convince Nevada to go as well. I bet Vegas would just follow the money. And if all the money just left, they would follow. A bunch of dirt poor desert ranchers in the north aren't going to hold much sway against the power and influence of billions of entertainment dollars once the direction of Vegas is different than theirs.

I wish. I'm a bit skeptical though because there's a ton of California haters here in vegas, even among liberals. Lots of idiots like to blame all of Nevada's problems on California as well as having little brother syndrome to LA.

Sounds like a great way to quickly educate them on how much better their lives are WITH California.

Nevada and education go together like peanut butter and mayo
