fadedpuma10 said:Two political factions are eyeing an exit from the USA
So, apparently, the Middlebury Institute and the League of the South have actually sat down together to hash out plans for breaking away from the US, which I guess is just one more sign of how fractured everything has become. It’s kind of wild because they don't even agree on much—they're worlds apart geographically and ideologically—but I suppose they've found this strange common ground in wanting to split off. You've got the Middlebury Institute folks, who basically represent the New England liberals frustrated with all the endless US involvement in foreign wars and pushing for things like abortion rights and gun control, and then you've got the League of the South, who are all about Southern independence and would probably make stopping illegal immigration their top priority if they ever got their way. These separatists are clearly hoping to catch the eye of activists over in California, Alaska, and Hawaii who are also looking for a way out. AP
I've heard about separatists in Texas, California, Alabama, Florida, and Hawaii, and now apparently Alaska and New England too. Honestly, I guess none of this is actually happening anytime soon, considering where the USA stands today...
