10 US States May Join Canada?

[save the frogs]

Is this guy totally nuts?

 

First time I hear this theory ... 

 

He is predicting the US may become a patchwork of rogue states and 10 states may join Canada.

Fear-mongering crackpot?

Not sure where he's getting his theory from.

So maybe the anti-Trumpers have been right all along?

Not sure why you took six posts either.

 

Oops, seven.

To create drama and suspense.

I was typing as I was watching.

Perhaps Sarah Pailin got her geography mixed up ?

Not sure I agree with all of his (?) States, but I can easily see this before 2028, especially if Trump survives and tries to run again:

 

CA, OR and WA secede to form Pacifica.

 

New England, NY, NJ, DE, MD and eastern PA secede to form Atlantica.

 

MI joins Canada, and maybe is joined by IL.

 

Texas could become its own country ruled by Musk.

 

Makes a lot of sense for the coasts, as they are mostly net contributors to the Federal Budget. The west has tech and military industry, the east has tech and finance, plus both coasts have the best universities.

 

MAGAstan can then simmer in its own juices, in debt, unproductive and ignorant.

 

Everybody wins.

To be polite, I always make sure I dumb things down for MAGAnistas, those people captured by a four word slogan on a red hat, and who are eternally fooled by a self-serving, willfully ignorant clown.

I don't recall every reading that the Constitution allows secession, or a process to do so. In theory, it might be done by a proposal by either two-thirds of both houses of Congress or a convention called for by two-thirds of the states. The amendment would then have to be ratified by three-fourths of the states. I don't see a few states being able to achieve this. Another method may be via an act of Congress consenting to a state’s departure, which would then need agreement from the other states. This would be a political negotiation to dissolve the bond, but no established procedure exists. Why would a handful of states get Congress to agree?

Revolution is a third method that seems Constitutional but again, the continental US would control the military and invade the revolutionary states. 

It has been tried before when eleven slave-owning Southern states declared their withdrawal from the United States. Asserting a constitutional right to leave, they formed the Confederate States of America and prepared to function as an independent nation. Abraham Lincoln, rejected this claim, viewing the Union as perpetual and acts of secession as legally void.
