So... I'm just spitballing here... but what do you think it would do to the US economy, politics, and national defense if CA, OR, and WA took Rick's advice decided to secede? Would a civil war erupt? Would that be an amicable divorce? What if the country broke into several countries? Say the Northeast blue states, the southeast red states, Texas, the red prairie and mountain states, the blue upper midwest, then the west coast? How about that scenario? Could the rural states who hold their votes over the rest of the country's heads survive? I mean since we are openly suggesting civil war, let's go big or go home.

Or we could, I dunno, reform the electoral college and representational structure in a way to make it more fair and satisfy the majority. That option sounds easier and better for us all to me. What isn't going to help is the increased trenching and saber rattling.
