WASHINGTON SECRETS
Poll: 39 percent back secession, strongest among Democrats, blacks
by Paul Bedard
| August 12, 2018 08:50 AM

With growing liberal opposition to President Trump around the country, a new poll finds strong support for secession among Democrats and blacks.

According to the Zogby Analytics survey, 39 percent of the country support states breaking away from the national government and country.

And on the eve of Sunday's dueling racially-charged protests at the gate of the White House, those most supportive of secession are Democrats and blacks, according to the survey analysis.

[...]

To say, "Democrats are fired up right now," might be the most massive understatement of the year.

Here's the actual question asked:

Which of the following is closer to your view?

Statement A: If a majority of residents within a given state prefer to have the final say over their destiny without the control of Washington D.C., then let them have it – it is their right.

Statement B: If residents within a given state were to take such a drastic measure and secede from the United States, the Federal Government would be justified sending in the military to prevent secession from taking place.

How would that even work in regards to borders? Just a mashup of states scattered across the map?

Does not look to have move much. Anyway it really should not be all that controversial an idea.

California, Oregon, and Washington would be best coast country.

It would be a civil war.

SmarmySmurf · Aug 12, 2018

I would love for NY and all of the NE in general to break off. Become independent or become part of Canada, both could work. Let Jesusland rot in hell.

Not sure how this is any different than the "I got mine" mentality that the left hates.

This would hurt Democrats more.

Sure, but it got two-headed bears as a result of that. Totally worth it imo.

The party out of the WH is typically "fired up" during midterms.

Dem states are all gathered into two-three spots.

You have New England + New York.

And the West Coast + Nevada.

Colorado and New Mexico would be their own place or fused to the West Coast Republic if you can bring Arizona in.

The Washington Examiner, bastion of conservative news, has an article about blacks and democrats getting ready for a civil war.

Ok.

Taking a gander at Paul Bedard's other articles I'm finding myself not giving a shit about his take on things.

I don't see how its remotely the same thing. States are already separate enough that they aren't responsible for fixing each others problems.

Its partly the same thing in that democrats in shit head states would be screwed.

Rhomega · Aug 12, 2018

Remember when Texans wanted to secede under Obama? That worked out.

They are probably all the same ones who said they were going to move to Canada if Trump wins.

Maybe if Trump gets reelected.

Problem is jesusland is currently running the country and fucking it up.

Idea is stupid regardless.

excelsiorlef · Aug 12, 2018

With a source like this I don't even want to know where the OP gets his daily info lol.

Nothing says I'm a conservative rag more than referring to White Supremacists and those who aren't as dueling racially charged groups.

Davidion · Aug 12, 2018

What fucking trash survey writing.

Worthless biased bullshit.

Brazil · Aug 12, 2018

The article this thread is based on has awful polling metrics and is from a low-quality source. It doesn't warrant discussion.
