The red states make a lot of noise about secession, this time they can leave and we won't go hankering after 'em like Lincoln did. They're net recipients of federal largess. Blue states are net accounts payable. See how long that shit lasts.
If the Red States wish to secede, let them do so! I like the quote from James Petigru that, "South Carolina is too small for a republic, but too large for an insane asylum.”
Good Riddance, freaks!
