Social 66% of Republicans in the South want to secede. Significant minority elsewhere want to secede

[MicroBrew]

Poll done Brightline Watch. Never heard of them till now.



Yet rather than support for secession diminishing over the past six months, as we expected, it rose in every region and among nearly every partisan group. The jump is most dramatic where support was already highest (and has the greatest historical precedent) — among Republicans in the South, where secession support leapt from 50% in January/February to 66% in June. Support among Republicans in the Mountain region increased as well, by 7 points, from 36% to 43%. Among Democrats in the West, a near-majority of 47% (up 6 points) supports a schism, as do 39% (up 5 points) in Northeast. Support jumped 9 points among independents in the Heartland as well, reaching 43%. Even subordinate partisan groups appear to find secession more appealing now than they did last winter, though only increases for Democrats in the South, Heartland, and Mountain regions are statistically discernible at the 0.05 significance level. The broad and increasing willingness of respondents to embrace these alternatives is a cause for concern.

I'd bet Texas makes up a large majority of that South number.

I'd like to see the numbers with Texas removed.

How many Sherdoggers wish to secede? Looking for honest answers. I’d be interested in knowing why.

Thanks in advance,

This is a bad idea because a balkanization of the USA is the wet dream of the Communist Party of China.

I want to secede from posts like this one.

Imo the American left and right need each other to stop each other from going full retard in the absence of anyone more reasonable.

 

[reveler]

false dilemma. few really want secession. many just want less federalism.

 

[TryggeTryggvar]

When it comes to the bottom line, the world needs america.

Sure, they might be up to no good alot of the times, but the alternatives are so much worse.(talking about the politics, not the people)

Please go says northern an moderate states. Texas please leave you will not be missed. We will pull out the 11 military bases an the aerospace companies an with it the 45 billion plus a year.

Thanks

But but what about oil we will use part of that 45 billion to build additional refining capacity.

you could’ve done just that by not quoting me/posting in the thread. Guess you couldnt resist, man.

 

[Last Falconry]

it will never happen, but secession is a terrific idea, I think. We lose all the dead weight and they can resort to cannibalism within three months. Seems like a win-win

 

[Prutfis]

Let them succeed. Then laugh at the 99% poverty rate they would have

 

[AWilder]

How's that southern strategy working out?

The South seceding would be bad for minorities. After the Civil War ended, the Union stationed troops in the South and life got better for Blacks. When the Union pulled troops out, life got significantly worse. If the South were to secede today, civil liberties and freedoms for: non-Whites, gays, atheists and equality for women would go downhill.

Its the same group that are always telling people if they dont like the country they can leave. Rather than splitting the country how about you all gtfo?

 

[HereticBD]

I think the more interesting stat are the high level of independents across the board who want to secede.

 

[Natural Order]

Looks like some big numbers on all sides want to chop er up!

That probably makes sense tbh. There must be a good amount of people who want to secede from the right and the left and just have a nice normal country.
