I always see things like this but there’s one huge flaw in that the states aren’t red or blue but different shades of purple depending on things like rural vs urban, etc.
So you’d be essentially condemning cities like Cincinnati and Atlanta which have larger marginalized populations to the whims of a more consolidated conservative country.
On the other end of it you have states like Michigan that have huge conservative followings that shift back and forth and have periods of rough leadership. That doesn’t change if we still allow any kind of State/Province autonomy. (Assuming you can get swing states to even agree to leave)

Thisss. But also just the general point too that some of us who are in very red areas don’t choose to be. But I mean if the United States of Canada are taking refugees and can help us out in moving SIGN ME TF UP!!!

Nice points… I’d say the west coast states would leave easily enough. Already rumblings of it where I am in the Pacific North West. If things get crazy enough people might consider moving to areas that better suit their values, like the west coast or north east. With larger populations sharing similar values the prospect of separation could gain real momentum

For every actual bigot you’ve got countless people who probably could do better if they just knew more than their upbringing has shown them
You’ve got so many impoverished people who couldn’t move even if they wanted to.
And ultimately you shouldn’t have to leave your home. The ones who need to go are the ones who created and are capitalizing from this problem.
Where’s your class consciousness?
