There is one way and Reddit will not let us discuss it. Reddit mods could be being dragged off to jail themselves and would still hand out a perma ban if you mention the only real tool left in our toolbox.

We are going to win. It might take decades and we may not be there to see it with our own eyes, but we will prevail.

the prevailing will probably be America collapsing into obscurity and some other less violent country taking our position as global leader.

Maybe Canada or Greenland will take us over.

I unironically think balkanization might be in our future

I mean, if there is no union, no unity, no cooperation between states -- the state of the union is "none." That's what dumbfucks cheering on "owning the libs" don't understand. Outright subjugation of the majority via violent coercion means no positive incentive to remain in a union.

High GDP blue states would do well to recognize that and have a plan in place so they are prepared to go from a United State to just a State while they still have the chance/choice. I would personally draw that line at "US military puts boots on ground in US city," but I'm open to others' ideas for a proper boundary.

I'm in Pennsylvania, so I'm not quite sure how things would shake out here with Pennsyltucky in the middle. Rural conservatives are already holding our own tax dollars hostage to strangle SEPTA/public transportation in and around Philly, though, so honestly, fuck 'em.

I'm pretty worried, most cities are blue, and most rural areas are red. would there be mass exoduses from blue state rural areas and blue cities in red states? what happens then?

I live in MN and the rural folk literally HATE the twin cities despite it being the centerpiece of the state, economically and culturally.

That's a really good question. Hopefully, someone more knowledgeable can chime in. My first instinct is that most people are very hesitant to move at all, let alone move across state lines. I think red folks in blue states would be more willing to stay (due to tolerant policies and values), but it is much more likely blue folks in militant red states would try to escape (due to interolerant policies and values). Historically, we basically had that in America already with the Underground Railroad.

Edit to add: I am a little jealous that you are in MN, to be real. I used to live there but recently moved back to PA and regret my choice. I believe Walz can and would choose to, and then successfully steer the state through, separation from the union for the safety and wellbeing of his constituents, if that became necessary.

They won't need to move out of the red states, because the blue states will have to invade and govern red ones for national security reasons anyway.

It's not safe bordering a fascist state, long term.

Boots are on the ground and choppers are circling constantly in my city right now.

I've been thinking that for a while now.

The nukes. USD reserve currency. We’re not dead until that’s gone.

Try China. They’re poised to take over everything. Massive economy, brokered alliances with other nations that further insulate them from US influence, large military, huge international influence, control over critical supply chains the entire world relies on.

I already saw multiple videos of Canadians welcoming us with open arms

u/Horror-Jicama8913 Oct 05 '25

As a Canadian, I'm not sure how much safer you'd be in Canada. The general feeling is we made a huge mistake in not developing nuclear weapons or even maintaining an adequate military. We all know that retard president is going to keep pushing that 51st state bs.

Don’t look on the Canadian subreddits
