Does it worry you when libs say things like "let the red states seceed already"? (midwest.social)

For the past few years, I've been seeing a rapid increase in liberal rhetoric surrounding secession, and it scares me.

I'm white, engaged to a black woman. We have already gotten pretty overt hostility from racists in our community. When people say shit like that, they're saying it's okay to throw me, my fiancee, and tens of millions (including other liberals) to the wolves to win some political points.

It embodies the disregard for human rights we see in the U.S. government. I feel like me and my soon-to-be wife are just props to them. We exist when it's convenient, but the moment it isn't, we're fucked.

I don't even know how to address it, either. I don't want my family and anyone who isn't white or doesn't have the right religion, skin tone, political beliefs or sexual orientation to live as a second class citizen, but a growing number of "allies" seem to think it's okay.

Most of us can't "just leave" like they say, either. That's too fucking expensive. It'd financially destroy most people if they tried to uproot their lives like that.

"From the mouths of babes."

The splitting of The USA would be a major boon for the working class and the global south. Of course that isn't what the libs want they just want a Nuevo-fascist state where they are inclusive of LGBTQ+ and people of all colors as long as they are legal immigrants and hate Russians and see see pee. They fail to see how much of america's military and economic power would not just be split and diminished by the resulting secession.

If anyone says "Why don't red states just secede?" you can just call them idiots and dunk on them. They haven't thought that through to its inevitable conclusions or looked into the last time some states tried to secede.
