What if the United States split into 2 countries would it really be that big of a deal?

[@5558,Kristinamichelle] i live in the south and no we don't

[@872289,GERRI] yes exactly

[@18045,akindheart] nor do we burn our cities

[@19729,TheRascallyOne] He's just doing what he is told to do. I have no confidence that he can actually make a lucid decision on his own.

[@760047,MarmeeMarch] People say that about every potus, but it's too fanciful - and in the end, if he's fulfilling expectations it doesn't even matter.

[@580625,QuixoticSoul] Its only been 100 days - geezzz

[@19729,TheRascallyOne] lol? I have family and friends on NYC. All the great US cities like NYC, Los Angeles, Chicago and St Paul are in the North. Most of the world thinks the South are a bunch of inbred, trailer dwelling sister fuckers with meth mouth. And it's accurate.

[@23671,basilfawlty89] Really those are all the worst cities to live in crimes rampant in Chicago New York Seattle has fallen to violent mobs in the South we just kind of move past we know he get blamed for everything

[@19729,TheRascallyOne] dude, you have Florida, Oklahoma, etc. You can't talk shit.

[@1188491,ColonelPringle] You realize we already tried that once, right (see "Articles of Confederacy")? You would need a passport to go to a different state, and for example West Virginia money would be no good in Virginia. Oh and the big stuff, like there would be no more social security or medicare. I mean I guess each state could create their own social security and medicare [i]if they wanted to[/i], but it wouldn't be anything like the federal social security or medicare we have now.

[@337057,JP1119] I’m aware. Social Security and Medicare are both jokes. Their existence keeps people from finding actual solutions.

[@1188491,ColonelPringle] Actual solutions like what?

[@987291,Lapochka] Bless you

[@949508,V00dooCakeNinja] Greek barbeques are okay, not bad, but South Africans and Armenians do it better. As a South African I'll admit the Armenians are a shade more talented that we are, albeit with less alcohol.

[@23671,basilfawlty89] Armenians and Georgians do outright magic with meat, it’s true.

[@449169,YourMomsForbiddenCrush] For retirement, folks want a warmer climate and a less developed economy - it makes your money go further. This is also why so many Americans are retiring in Mexico and Vietnam.

[@19729,TheRascallyOne] been in North Carolina all my life. have no plans on leaving. weather is usually good. crime is relatively low. i am two hours from the coast and three hours from the mountains and there are lakes and ponds and trails everywhere and i love the outside.

[@449169,YourMomsForbiddenCrush] cool I wish you well hugs 🤠

[@1108911,Zavodila] Yes I am not saying bad things don't happen him saying for the most part we are good people people who like law and order people who like to have good stores to go shopping at people who don't like domestic terrorism

[@19729,TheRascallyOne] Nothing in your crimes states says that.

But sure I’m all for cutting up the US. Each individual state if you like. Makes them easier to pick off.

[@19729,TheRascallyOne] You know what's the most common brand of domestic terrorism right now? White supremacy. Guess what region of the country that's most prevalent in.

[@19729,TheRascallyOne] The strength of the United States is its united states. Russia and China would pick the south (nationalists) apart while the rest of the "one world" philosophy countries warred with them.

[@337992,Kindheartedguy] we could come together during time of war

[@19729,TheRascallyOne] The Northern Hemisphere Union would be warring with Russia/China (and their pets).

You would already be part of Russia and/or China. We wouldn't want you.

[@1007030,KidRandom] You mean none of your cities have been burned TO THE GROUND (!!!!!)? Shocking.

[@1007030,KidRandom] You guys are nothing without Tom Brady lol

[@19729,TheRascallyOne] And he's not even a native New Englander; he's from California 🤦‍♂️

[@449169,YourMomsForbiddenCrush] Nature is all over the place, I doubt that this is what either of these posters is talking about lmao.

[@400948,tindrummer] Not agreeing at all with your implied disparaging northern BS!! but they could leave, move, not remain-----

[@872289,GERRI] Some like me have left, others would like to and a new csa would undoubtedly have many more packing.

texas should go back to Mexico [@15494,tenente]

[@15494,tenente] Please enlighten. If one positive has come from this whole covid lockdown, it is helping my teen with his home-schooling. The Civil War is fascinating.

[@605026,spjennifer] That's a total speculative fallacy--- 55K year in West Virginia brings a higher standard of living than 85K in NY. And I doubt the color-coded map is totally accurate. If not for the northern part of Virginia being Government D.C based residence and the large DoD presence in the Tidewater area, Virginia would likely be among the poorest states in the country. I see no way West Virginia's median income
is greater to neighboring states like Ohio, Kentucky, Tennesee, or equal to North and South Carolina. The faster-growing states now are all southern, in region.

Yes, I'm quite certain that the Census Bureau is biased against the South but of course you know better than they do I'm sure. What are you basing your statistics on, speculative lunacy? One of the reasons I posted the link as the one slide doesn't tell the whole story but the rest of it from the link sure does...
