    As much as I’d dream of this. If the blue states left, it would tank the red economy and make them pissy. They would then pull a Russia and try to force back those states. You’d then have old US being attacked by Mexico, Canada and New US. The other issue is that most of the weapons of mass destruction are currently residing mostly red states.

    Since this side of the world would be in turmoil, I’d have to assume Russia and China would take advantage of that for their own gains.

    NGL, am native New Englander and resident… Wouldn’t mind one bit if we left and joined our cultural bretheren in Canada.

        We have enough problems.

        We all do my friend.

        However… you’ll get the Red Sox, the Celtics, the Bruins and the Patriots (who’ve actually done good this year!) Can even throw in the Portland SeaDogs which are a super fun minor league team to go see.

        But NO NY Yankees.

        They can go to New Jersey.

        My northern NE sensibilities must throw down the obligatory Bostonian utterance: “Yankees suck!” (…and when they win the pennant, they suck even more! - LOL!)

            Welll. I was being sweet on the guy furter down who asked if New York can come too, as they do not want to leave Zohran behind… which makes sense.

            Am excited to see how well he can start to pull NY together for the working people there, and keenly interested in how far he gets before the 1%-ers really step up their agitprop against him…
