I wonder which states the majority of these people are in.
It links to a map, https://www.newsweek.com/map-shows-states-most-likely-secede-1870679 (archive: https://archive.ph/oGlKO )
Surprising that support in Alaska (36%) and Texas (31%) is so much higher than the national average, I'd have thought it'd be blue states leading, shows what I know...
Yeah let's take Alaska and complete the whole northern section of the continent!
Oh wait, those are just those most likely to secede. Not wanting to join Canada.
Alaska does make sense because of their geographic position but Texas is definitely an outlier.
The big cities in Texas are pretty blue. I imagine they make up the 31 percent who want to secede.
Sounds exactly like texas north
Fuckin proper Dark Horse.....
I've suggested that the entire NFC North could just become Canadian providences. Parts of Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Illinois already feel like Canada anyways. Also we'd dominate the CFL!
Full disclosure: I live in Michigan.
I'd love for that.
However, as a Canadian ... seeing Michigan go red broke my heart.
Unfortunately the red sections of Michigan stayed red, and the large groups of voters in the blue sections bought into the whole "genocide Joe" bullshit. The actual vote totals showed that red votes stayed pretty level with the 2020 and 2022 numbers, while blue voters just didn't turn out. Hopefully this is a fucking wake up call.
As someone in michigan, me too buddy.
As an American I felt the same way about Wayne Gretzky.
