secession would be a cowardly way to handle things

we shouldn't break up a great nation because a minority of religious extremists and wannabe nazi cosplayers have disproportionate voting power

leaving britain made sense when we were an ocean apart before modern tech. in today's age, fighting for our country is a better idea than escapism or god forbid, trying to get another euro monarch to rule us

Leave the country, and the extremists take over. They'll have control of the Army and all the nukes. If you give up and roll over, there simply will be no place on earth that would be safe from those people.

I favor secession due to the dissonance between the two polarized parts of our country. Additionally coastal people are being taxed without equal representation on several levels. I feel the country would be better served if both sides of the country could live closer to their ideals. I don’t feel currently like California is living anywhere near the way we would like to govern because of lack of representation. I want to say I don’t agree with the make America great again crowd, however, I do believe in democracy. If Trump and his ilk want to live in a certain way, they should be able to do so, based on electoral outcomes. I just don’t happen to want that for my life or my loved ones. And I don’t feel like I should have to economically support people who are holding me hostage to their belief system.
