Possibility for Second American Civil War

[Big Jim P]

Nothing says fun like the ruling party going on a purging spree, and to top it off turning much of North America into revanchists wet dream.

Give Texas back to mexico.

We'll take our independence from both, thank you very much.

Imagine being this delusional...

Or, alternatively, imagine it being a joke.

I prefer to base my conclusions on evidence, not wishful thinking.

[Big Jim P]

I could see us resembling France after their revolution.

Hey, at least it’s a Republic, right?

For a while at least. I doubt we'd ever become an empire though.

It could be a lot worse than that.

Imagine the new U.S taking the slogan "54-40 or fight" a bit more literally or deciding it wants some new real estate in Mexico...any flimsy excuse to get the New U.S in making ready for new borders to fit its image.

Free American Empire when?

Depending on who is running it, and if they are competent enough who knows...history is quite funny like that.

Though knowing some people on this site view that era...with rather romantic goggles on it is honestly hard to tell.

It wasn’t the worst. Not an era we should aspire to go back to, but not the worst.

I don't care either way, just get out of the union and take Mississippi with you.

Only if California leaves as well!!!

We want out. California would be better off alone.

Good, scram!

America would have some issues without California.

Enjoy a North Korea invasion.

Again, true, but even less likely than another civil war.

You say that, but part of the problem of independence is having foreign states actually deal with you seriously.

Success isn't an issue, friend.

Y'all can keep Mississippi. We'll take New Mexico, Oklahoma and Arizona though.

I don't see an actual emperor so much as a paternal autocrat ruling over a reactionary regime. I will say this since if the U.S is going to be this screwed up in a hypothetical scenario I do wonder if the world won't follow suit as well?

Losing silicon valley would cause success?

So symbolic that post number 2000 was contesting Tel...

Not many and none we couldn't fix.

California is the richest state in the union, and feeds half the country, Cali pays more to the feds than it gets back.

The US needs Cali more than Cali needs it.

[Benuty]

Losing silicon valley would be an actual problem if foreign states bother to actually establish relations with the new entity occupying the former U.S state of California.

[The South Falls]

What if we said "Get rid of Texas."

[Geneviev]

America would have some issues without California.

Success isn't an issue, friend.

First thing I think of is the military.
Also Silicon Valley.
