Those southern republicans would be making a mistake of seceding if it was even possible. Those red southern states are welfare states. Those states depend on tax revenue generated by California and New York to fill their state's coffers. Where will those states get the money to properly fund their coffers? Raise taxes?

Yeah.

It's the democratic states in the north east that should want to secede.

You mean those very white states? Yes, why would they want to pay for all the blacks in the South?

New York's not whiter than most states. Neither is Connecticut.

Those two pay more in taxes that they get in federal spending.
