Is the United States Breaking Up?

 

Enough of Mormonism vs. anti-Mormonism! Let’s look at something a bit more interesting for a change. Is the United States breaking up? Are the Americans losing confidence in the Federal Government to such an extent that such a breakup might become inevitable? According to the above video, and the YouGov survey, apparently they are! I did a search, and found that there are several websites and news outlets that are talking about it. The original YouGov survey can be seen on the Bright Line Watch website here. The following are a couple of images displaying how the US would be divided into five independent countries if the sentiments of the survey were carried out. The first is the original image on the YouGov report, showing how the country would be divided up into five independent regions if the sentiments expressed in the survey became a reality (click on the image to enlarge):

According to the survey, two-thirds of Republicans in the South favor seceding from the United States; while nearly half of Democrats in the Pacific region, and almost 40 percent in the Northeast say the same, according to the survey.

The following is a more accessible image from the MailOnline website, showing how such a division would appear on the map if carried out:

The five new 'countries' which would be created if states were allowed to secede.

Interestingly, in an identical survey carried out by Bright Line Watch 6 month earlier in January, just after President Joe Biden was sworn in, it found that much fewer Americans in each of the five designated regions supported secession. In the Northeast, 32 percent of voters said they supported seceding from the US. In the South, it was just 33 percent, with half of Republicans backing the idea. In the Heartland, less than one in four supported seceding; while 28 percent of those in the Mountain region said the same. In the Pacific, just one in three Americans backed the idea of secession. The following image is a reflection of the earlier survey:

The survey from June found that there was an increase across the board in the number of Americans who supported the idea of secession. In January, just after President Joe Biden was sworn in, Bright Line Watch conducted a similar survey asking the same question. It found that fewer Americans in each of the five designated regions supported secession.

My guess is that if Joe Biden’s cognitive decline continues at the rate that it is doing now, and he had to step aside in favor of Kamala Harris, the demand for secession would increase manyfold.
