Blue state secession? No. Blue state denziens leaving America? Yes.

[Yavin4]

The goal of the Republican party is to run America like they run red states like Louisiana and Oklahoma. Defunded public schools. Christian nationalist indoctrination. No healthcare. Jobs that pay crap wages. Universities that teach American propaganda, etc. etc. Eventually, the best and the brightest of us will leave the USA just like they currently leave red states for blue states. There's a reason why so many talented people cluster into extremely expensive blue cities like SF, CHI, NYC, LA, Boston. It's because of the opportunities, liberal tolerance of differences, and education.

If these blue cities succumb to being run like red states, then our best, brightest, hardest working people will leave the US as well. There are better countries in the world to live, raise a family, and seek out opportunities. America is about to experience a brain drain like nobody has ever seen before. We already have to import talent from overseas to work in our most demanding industries. That talent won't come to a nation that's outright hostile to immigrants.

As Trump isolates us from the world, the world will move on without us. China is far ahead of us when it comes to EVs. BYD is the world's number one selling EVs, and most Americans don't even know that. They are cheaper and better than Tesla, but it's tariffs that keep them out of the US market. Other countries already surpass us on education and healthcare. Meanwhile, we're bringing back Christian indoctrination into the classroom.

When we lose our most talented people, our industries will suffer, and they will leave as well. Right now, red states offer generous tax incentives for businesses to set up shop in their state. But there's a reason why big tech is in Silicon Valley and not Shreveport, LA. Lack of local talent.

1. Self deportation...

On steroids.

[Blue Full Moon]

2. They are disconnected

One problem with their thinking. The blue states foot the bill for the red ones. That's why the red states are jealous of the blue ones. If they would shrug off the republicans they could be prosperous. They are creating their own misery and want everyone else to be miserable too.

37. Misery loves company

[hadEnuf]

3. Nazi Germany did the same thing.

Many of their top minds got out while they could. Many others perished in camps or were executed for their political mindsets.

[Asa13]

4. Id rather die here fighting for my home

Im born and raised in the US lost to many family members, friends, brothers in defense of this country. I'm not running away now that my country needs someone to stand for it and fight

[New Haven]

5. do you have some link on the think?

[Yavin4]

41. Search Americans living abroad on YouTube

Tons of videos about Americans living all over the world. It's far more common that what most people think.

[Beck23]

6. It won't ve long until Trump fails

Please, we need people to stay and fight.

[Initech]

40. Right now, all we can do is pray for the Big Macs to do their thing.

Vance is extremely unpopular, it's going to take a lot to pass his agenda.

[Magoo48]

46. All we can do, really? Just a figure of speech, hopefully?

[Initech]

47. I truly dread what that asshole is going to do in January.

Right now it's the calm before the storm.

[MayReasonRule]

52. Darwin... You're Talking About Darwin Awards...

May Darwin serve us well.

[Yavin4]

42. Define "fails"

If he destroys our govt from within, he won't consider that a failure just the opposite.

[Figarosmom]

7. Agree. Nt

[dchill]

8. For every "...blue state denzien leaving America..."

...there are hundreds more who don't and won't.

[Lulu KC]

19. I'd guess thousands

but we'll see.

[dchill]

38. You're right, of course. 👍

[Yavin4]

43. Maybe

But there will come a time when you won't have a choice.

[dchill]

44. Or - maybe not. 🚭

[cstanleytech]

10. It's also why you're seeing States such as Texas and Georgia shifting towards the blue spectrum slowly.

[GP6971]

11. I'm sure you have links supporting

your comments. Right?

[GP6971]

18. 2 Links from the N.Y. Post? Really?

[GP6971]

22. For what? Oh...for you to tell us

if you’re planning on being here long.

[Irish_Dem]

13. Highly educated young people in my family have identified possible countries

where they can go if things get worse.

Countries which are sane, where they can live in peace from the ugliness of the US.

[GP6971]

15. Plan on staying long?

[Irish_Dem]

16. Yes it may be pizza time soon.

[Irish_Dem]

21. My military family risked their lives for this country.

Some of them died fighting for the USA.

Your comment is a lie.

Lying and insulting people is a very weak argument.
You have nothing.

[TBF]

20. Same, Irish Dem -

I'd love to leave but my husband likes his job so we're staying. But we are trying to figure out a way to get my daughter back to Europe (she went to college abroad). My husband is the only one of us with dual citizenship w/another country, unfortunately it doesn't pass down to our kids. I grew up in the Midwest and never imagined leaving this country. But it feels like a different place now, than when i was growing up.

[Irish_Dem]

25. Yes.

This country is headed in a very bad direction.

It is not safe for certain groups.

[FakeNoose]

24. Isn't it ironic that the educated Germans and Jews of the 1930's came HERE to escape the Nazis?

What has happened to our beautiful country, our Great Society, our "noble experiment"?

[Hekate]

23. Who was the trollski? It seems to have been very busy this bright morning.

[GP6971]

27. Wait...weren't you just here?

[niyad]

30. Thinks they are sooooo clever!

[GP6971]

33. Of course....NY Post links.

You should know better by now.

[niyad]

35. Do keep trying. We can all use the laughs.

[Hekate]

36. You think a tabloid is a good source? "Ha ha" My people have laid their bones here since the 1600s

My husband's family is but the latest.

A few days or weeks to grieve, and my Democratic friends will be on their feet and looking for the next thing to do to keep this Union together.

[niyad]

28. Oh my. What flavour pizza do you like?

[GP6971]

32. Today's special is topped with turkey and

cranberries.

[niyad]

34. That is so thoughtful of our resident chefs!

[Hekate]

29. Most of us are staying, you know. Keep that in mind. We'll keep the Union together, too.

[Elessar Zappa]

39. Sure, some will leave .

It’s not going to be a huge exodus unless things really go South and Trump starts jailing dissidents, which has a very low chance of happening.

[Yavin4]

45. After 1/6, we were all convinced that Trump would be prosecuted.

Instead, he's president, again.

[Initech]

48. 1/6 will go down as one of the biggest intelligence failures in history.

[Ping Tung]

49. I'm too old to leave so I'm hoping Canada will adopt Washington as Baja British Columbia.

[Mike 03]

51. Sad but tremendous post. N/T

[Takket]

53. i've said this a 1000 times on this board but stupid people are easy to control.......

if you are wondering why they keep pushing converting public schools, essentially, into churches. it isn't because they are worried about kids learning about "God". It is because they don't want kids learning about math, science, history, and everything else that eventually creates a well educated LIBERAL American.

Reality had a liberal bias. So get rid of reality.

[Meowmee]

54. Agree

Except CCP China obviously should not be held up as some sort of ideal because of EV etc.

[The Wizard]

55. All revenue going to the US Treasury

should be put in escrow until red states are self sufficient. Close all military installations in the slave states. Civil War reconstruction has lasted far too long.

[J_William_Ryan]

56. "It won't ve long until Trump fails."

Correct.

Which is why there’s no reason to leave.

[Yavin4]

57. Define "Trump fails"

Your idea of him failing is not the same as his supporters' idea of him failing.
