(4,840 posts)and I'm not intentionally implying we disregard them. Maybe another red state would be a better candidate for a peaceable and mutually acceptable secession. However, the point is, if conservatives and laze faire capitalists get their own playground, there would be less excuse for them to try and enforce their twisted ideology upon us.
Also it would let the world see them experiment with their political agendas unencumbered and allow its ultimate failure to be witnessed on the world stage. What we have now is their incessant whining that they are not being allowed to "try" what they want to do. I say, let the wing nuts try it but in their own new nation, where the consequences can't reach the majority of liberals. If that state were designated as NJ I would be more than happy to pack up and move if it saved other liberals the necessity of negotiating policy with these nut jobs.
