I wonder which states the majority of these people are in.

It links to a map, https://www.newsweek.com/map-shows-states-most-likely-secede-1870679 (archive: https://archive.ph/oGlKO )

Surprising that support in Alaska (36%) and Texas (31%) is so much higher than the national average, I'd have thought it'd be blue states leading, shows what I know...

[–] cyborganism@lemmy.ca 9 points 3 days ago

Yeah let's take Alaska and complete the whole northern section of the continent!

[–] cyborganism@lemmy.ca 8 points 3 days ago

Oh wait, those are just those most likely to secede. Not wanting to join Canada.

[–] Grimy@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Alaska does make sense because of their geographic position but Texas is definitely an outlier.

[–] Sturgist@lemmy.ca 4 points 3 days ago

Texas is definitely an outlier.

Fuckin proper Dark Horse.....

[–] PandaParent@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

The big cities in Texas are pretty blue. I imagine they make up the 31 percent who want to secede.

Sounds exactly like texas north

[–] cowfodder@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago (2 children)

I've suggested that the entire NFC North could just become Canadian providences. Parts of Michigan, Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Illinois already feel like Canada anyways. Also we'd dominate the CFL!

Full disclosure: I live in Michigan.

[–] lobut@lemmy.ca 9 points 3 days ago (3 children)

I'd love for that.

However, as a Canadian ... seeing Michigan go red broke my heart.

[–] cowfodder@lemmy.world 10 points 3 days ago

Unfortunately the red sections of Michigan stayed red, and the large groups of voters in the blue sections bought into the whole "genocide Joe" bullshit. The actual vote totals showed that red votes stayed pretty level with the 2020 and 2022 numbers, while blue voters just didn't turn out. Hopefully this is a fucking wake up call.

As an American I felt the same way about Wayne Gretzky.
