This was in that KGB plan to divide America, after dividing NATO. Also in the plan: dividing UK and Europe and then dividing Germany and France within Europe. And every single one of those is being worked on or has already worked. Do not fall for it
Thank you! Finding out about Foundations of Geopolitics back in 2015 or so has been incredibly detrimental to my mental health. People roll their eyes when you bring it up and you just have to watch it slowly unfold exactly to their plan, year after year.
Doesnt really matter who it also benefits. The fascist part of the US needs to be weakened as much as possible, you cant leave that much power in the hands of degenerates. Also, it sends a signal

How is this uplifting?!
Because we you don’t get our money unless our votes counts. We have put so much into the entire country and still get shit on from every other state.
Dividing the USA is not uplifting news. This is terrible for everyone.
Yeah, much better to have as much power as possible in the hands of the fascists. The opposition needs to get out of there as long as they can (unfortunately I dont think they can though)
Why that?
It would be great if both the east and west coasts join Canada. Then there’s a new leader of the western hemisphere to replace the US, better and more modern.
Probably gotta swap Alberta here, but close enough:
Yeah I’m getting pretty tired of my state contributing far more in federal taxes than any other state just to help bailout ignorant, oppressive, poor red states.
We’ve got the money, the tech, the military installations, and the agriculture. Let’s do our own thing. Or better yet, bring the whole West Coast in on it.
Northeast here, we would like to join you.
Yeah, we certainly share a similar sentiment in Jersey. I’m not sure breaking America up solves more problems than it creates, though. Like many problems I encounter, personally and as part of some larger whole, I don’t see solutions.
Please call the new country New California Republic
Living under the second Trump administration almost makes you wish for nuclear winter.
I already have the NCR flag up in my house.
Please call it the Pacific States of America
Please don’t, at least not without other states. Cali leaving would hand the Republicans even greater control of the House and screw over the other blue states.
California leaving would absolutely start a chain reaction of other states.
If California successfully left (trying that didn’t work so well that one time), then I see Oregon and Washington joining. That bloc probably wouldn’t spread further east, though. Too many red states in the way. Texas would probably also secede because honestly I think the only thing keeping them from doing so now is the precedent that it’s not possible. New York would talk about it, but it wouldn’t pass. Minnesota might talk to Canada about joining them, but they probably like their guns too much to actually go through with it.
Canadians have tons of guns. We just have reasonable laws.
Nevada is pretty red but they’d bail for anyone offering better gambling laws.
Nevada isn’t just Vegas. There’s a big values dissonance between Vegas and the rural North, and if the country starts fracturing I don’t see them staying together.
I could actually see Vegas seceding from Nevada to either join with California or become an independent city-state.
Fallout: New Vegas would become real, in other words.
Guess I better start building my gauss rifle and riot gear…
Yeah come with us!
Aka a civil war
Yeah, to me this seems like another variation of that movement that’s constantly trying to get California to pass a bill to split it into multiple states. Which, wouldn’t you know, just happens to favor the Republicans!
Uh, does it? Last time I did that math the outcome was a 2:1 advantage for Dems
They want to do gerrymandering but by creating new states instead of within a state. They want to make the population centers their own states and make multiple states out of the rural areas, which vote as red as some red states. Which is just a convoluted way of adding more Republican senators.
Ah, the last realistic map I saw was the norcal, socal, eastcal one not the GOP wet dream one since there’s not a snowball’s chance in hell of that one passing the assembly
I could be wrong but I had thought I read that it was the same chucklefucks behind both variations, if that’s the one that came up for vote… I don’t even remember how long ago, time is meaningless now.
Split California in half. Or thirds.
Now it’s a few regular-sized states with more Senators
It was not legal and unconstitutional when the CAS seceded, and it will be illegal and unconstitutional if California attempts to do the same.
Wait till you hear what these thirteen cheeky colonies did back in the day.
There is a world of difference between the American Revolution and the US Civil War. For starters, the colonists had help from France. Secondly, Britain quit because it was both expensive and tedious to wage war across the Atlantic Ocean, and they had an entire empire to police, and native populations to exploit and massacre; unruly colonists that weren’t particularly profitable simply weren’t worth the effort. In contrast, the CAS and Union armies were largely fighting without help from other countries, and there was no ocean separating them. The result was that the US Civil War directly resulted in the deaths of 2.5% of the US population at the time; if that happened now, that would be 8.5M direct deaths.
The colonists won because Britain quit. The CAS lost to the Union decisively.
If we repeated the civil war today, I would anticipate that it would be far, far bloodier than it was in the 1860s, because it wouldn’t be rows of conscripts shooting at each other from point-blank range. It would be guerillas fighting on one side, and the other side bombing the shit out of cities and indiscriminately killing civilians.
There seems to be this idea that it’d be this nice clean break, everyone happy to part ways, and not, at the very least, embargos and trade war, and at the very most all out war. “America” would stand to lose a lot by having it’s coadtlines secede, to the point that they couldn’t allow it to happen. It would benefit no one in the short term, and I’m not sure it would survive into the long term.
Why not just change the law? Seems to be an option whenever other people want to.
You can absolutely do that, except that it would be amending the constitution, not changing the law. You might be able to get enough people and states to vote in favor of it, but I highly doubt it. Especially since California pays for a shitload of red states’ existence. Republicans don’t want CA to leave and take the CA money with it, they want CA to be forced to capitulate.
Right, because laws can’t ever be broken lmao
California will rise again?
WA, OR, CA, MN, WI, IL, ME, MA, RI, CT, VT, NY, NJ, PA, MD, CO, NM, I would be okay with coming to Canada. The rest of yous? Idk.
Wisconsin is surprisingly red when you step out of Milwaukee and Madison and maybe Green Bay. And even then! Just remember those fuckers put Scott Walker in power.
E: Forgot how to spell
You DON’T want PA. They were one of the swing states that handed Trump the WH. They’re also the fattest state in the Union
Don’t forget DC. Everyone forgets DC.
No, the US can keep DC.
Ok sure just let the US keep the second best train system and the #1 city for park access, also the people that would be most down for this.
I’m a Minnesotan, currently at my kids hockey tournament. This is an acceptable scenario.
I don’t live there so I’m maybe out of the loop here, but why not Michigan?
Michigan went dipshit this latest election, but it’s a fixable state
Do NOT fall for this shit, they’ve tried it before. This makes america an easy red majority and that’s the entire point of it. We’re in this together and not going anywhere
I think when you’re on a ship being sailed suicidally into a storm, arguing they some passengers shouldn’t jump into life boats to escape just because it will only leave the crazy people onboard and “we’re in this together” isn’t particularly compelling.
Like, surely that’s the point? That state finds it’s people, their way of life and values to have diverged so far from the government and overall culture of the nation they’re currently teamed up with, so they choose to end their union and become a free nation state again, as is their right.
The alternative to this peaceful split into two countries that can now run themselves the way they want to, would be one side attempting to impose their way of life on the other, to the point of massive crushing oppression or eventual civil war to see which side will dominate and force the other to convert to their ways.
Surely when we consider the options, peacefully going their separate ways when they’re no longer compatible with each other’s societies and values seems the best result, no?
CA here. I’ve had two good friends permanently leave the US in the last few years because fuck this place. I’m not sure we care anymore out here what happens to “America,” especially compared to what we could become without being dragged down by it. If this country is really going to go insane and fascist, then it needs to be weakened to stop the damage, and subtracting California from it would do that faster than anything else possibly could.
I and multiple others I know no longer use “American” unless it’s explicitly prudent and never abroad anymore, it’s “Californian”
Everyone who hears this, even the conservative dipshits, love it
The federal debt will balloon without blue states paying into the coffers, though? Quality of life will take a shit
Do you go to family Thanksgiving even though it’s full of shitty people you “love” but don’t actually like? I sure as fuck don’t. Choose your own family.
Part of America that doesn’t want “red majority” can do the same.
Are they gonna race Texas to see who does it first?
Terrible name. At least use Califexit if you don’t want to go with the obvious Calyeet or Califorgetaboutitimoutofhere.
I’m partial to CaliFuckThis.
Supercalifuckthisshitandexileallemotions
Okay… So I need to go be homeless in California before it splits, I reckon. Get a Cali ID. I am not, I repeat, absolutely fucking not, getting stuck in this shit hole with its new republican supermajority after all the blue states leave. I don’t even like the democratic party, but I will be fucking fucked if I stay in the United Christofascist States of Trumperica
Thankfully, they’ll never let anyone leave. Ever.
If you’re being serious, you can camp for free for one week at a time per site, in any of our state parks. If you have a car, that will make lodging a bit easier. Once you have been here for 6 months, you can get residency, and then apply for low income housing assistance.
You can get on SNAP almost immediately though to help with food.
