I sometimes look at the states that constituted the CSA and realize I wouldn’t really miss much if were kicked them all out
What problem does that solve? You're effectivelty advocating for them to be free to make their own laws and decisions like is already being done here.
They’re no longer a drain on American resources at that point, all of those states take more resources from the fed than they give
There are people in these states who have called it their home for their entire lives, they can't get out and have no family anywhere else. Sane people who are terrified of what's happening and are literally begging for help but all anyone sees is this shit so they think we are all the same. I'm literally begging the US or Europe to come and fucking help the southern US, do fucking ANYTHING at this point, please.
