US question: Would you approve of your state seceding from the Union, declaring independence from the United States? I think California, Oregon, and Washington would, and probably Colorado too. (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

If honestly be curious how that would work out. CA tends to know the value of immigration, and i couldn't really see them holding a policy of closed borders, at least not in the long run.

Any American balkanization would likely go very similarly to the partition of India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh. The liberals would be given a period of permission to move to the coasts, and the conservatives to the red states, and in this process communities would shatter and a lot of people would die, but it's better than a civil war and/or white terror.
