As a further indication of how much radical ideas are going mainstream in Republican circles, Fox News host Greg Gutfeld and Lisa Boothe quickly jumped on the bandwagon, after a new poll found that a full 66% of southern Republicans wanted to secede from the United States of America.

Well, I suppose southerners are simply trying to stay true to the old adage, “if at first you don't secede - try, try, again.” Gee, wonder if anyone has ever bothered to explain to them that federal funding for things such as Social Security (retirement, disability), Medicare/Medicaid, and infrastructure - won't secede along with them?

Now, of course, this position isn’t really their fault, given that about the only thing most Trump supporters know about government, is that they “hate taxes.” Other than that, they have no idea how civilization works. After all, what do you expect from a region that believes teaching subjects like history and civics - is a communist plot?

Hell, the truth of the matter is that if the south did secede, most of them would die from COVID within a year - leaving the rest of these Social Darwinists fighting over who’ll get to eat the dead corpses. So sure, keep thinking “the South Will Rise Again!” You bet it will, just like a bloated corpse, on the bottom of a lake bed.

Funny thing is, given their insurrection, voter suppression efforts, and anti-vax super-spreader stances, I wouldn’t be a bit surprised if 66% of Democrats would also be in favor of their secession efforts. Besides, even if southern secession doesn’t end up working out so well, I’m sure Donald Trump would step right up to the plate - and buy them Greenland.
