According to a new poll conducted by Bright Line Watch and YouGov support for secession is growing throughout the US among both Republicans and Democrats.

As The Hill reports:

Bright Line Watch, in conjunction with YouGov, found that citizen support for their state or region to secede from the U.S. is greatest in the South “where support was already highest (and has the greatest historical precedent).” Overall, 37 percent of respondents indicated a “willingness to secede.”

Support among southern Republicans grew from polling conducted in January, which showed 50 percent were in favor of secession. But the number leapt to 66 percent in June.

“By this summer, we anticipated, political tempers may have cooled — not necessarily as a result of any great reconciliation but perhaps from sheer exhaustion after the relentless drama of Trump,” the group wrote in an analysis of the survey’s findings.

“Republicans are most secessionist in the South and Mountain regions whereas it is Democrats on the West Coast and in the Northeast,” the group writes. “In the narrowly divided Heartland region, it is partisan independents who find the idea most attractive.”

Are Americans ready for secession or, even worse, civil war? Let us know what you think in the comments below.




Comments

  1. Why should we conservative, patriotic, America loving people leave our great country? Instead, we should be kicking out the idiot liberal, socialist, Democrats. Let them start their own country and leave ours alone!

    1. The framework to protect your idiot liberals was constructed long before we got to this stage. They have lawyers who can make despotism sound like donuts to a cop. They’ll employ those lawyers against people who are not akin to surrendering their civil rights in the spirit of equality and public safety. Our Constitution was a basic outline to free Americans from the yoke of an obtrusive government, and afford them an education, economic system, defined and guarded borders, penal statutes to remove criminal elements from our population and the leeway to pursue their various paths toward self fulfillment. Liberals have turned that government into a reactionary force of niggling busybodies, whose sole solution to the ‘problems’ they orchestrate or embellish is to mobilize the government against a growing ‘inequality’. That’s the buzzword (“Inequality”) that signals the introduction of a regime, which will inexorably expand on the merits of leveling playing fields, while they hook us on foibles (Gambling, Drugs, Pornography, Greed) jack up our taxes/fees/fines/funds, while they increase the size/scope/cost and authority of their administrations. Shakespeare had it right, but these days he would be constantly hauled into courts (And even GITMO!) to answer for his unapproved leanings.

    2. You are being unrealistically kind to call the Dems “socialist”! They are plainly and simply “communist”! I am not a extreme radical Republican conservative but, I have seen enough from this administration to understand they have fully exposed their intent by supporting BLM/antifa who are self proclaimed marxist communists! And, as representatives of communism, they want our homes! Have you seen them marching in residential neighborhoods telling people to get out so they can have the homes? I have! A communist state owns everything, the people own no property or anything else for that matter. The Dems are slowly squeezing out our personal freedoms, jobs, financially destroying America and will soon be trying to get rid of the Constitution so they can make their own rules!
      In case anyone doubts that the Democrat supported BLM/antifa is a communist organization, the people marching in Cuba for their freedom from communism begged BLM/antifa to come help them and BLM made no bones about it…they support the communist Cuban government! The people marched chanting “Biden, where are you” what has come from Biden…. crickets, unless he responded and I haven’t heard yet!
      With what is going on, in this administration, it is no wonder the poll percentages are as high as 66%! If there is a civil war, history will probably record it as “Biden’s dumazz folly”! The infuriating thing is this is all going according to the Democrats plan to destroy all that is near and dear to patriotic Americans!

      1. You have to understand that this is a world wide socialist movement. As a traditional Catholic, the Argentinian pontiff is involved. It is all about the destruction of capitalism and the creation of a world socialist republic based on the ideals of the French Revolution.

        1. I agree. I have long been fascinated with the French Revolution and read extensively on the subject. The parallels are glaring. Scary stuff going on here.

          1. Anita Waseman
            Now if you actually read History about the French revolution, with an open mind, you will find that the people who actually started the Revolution, were the people who actually started the Revolution lost out in the end, the same was true with the American Civil War.

          2. Of course. All those useful idiots are the first ones they get rid of once they take power. Who wants whiney, loudmouth elitists around once they have outlived their usefulness?

        2. D Paul
          Now since Democratic Socialism is a World Standard in the Free World, and in fact Capitalism flourishes even more so than in this USA and the people have more rights and freedoms than in this USA. You do not have to believe me just Google the” top 30 Countries with the most rights and freedoms”, and you will find out the USA is not even listed in the top 30 Countries, also Google, “where the happies people in the World live.”

      2. You are seriously delusional and paranoid…try watching ANY mainstream news like ABC, CBS, NBC, etc. rather than Faux News bullshit factory. You have been brainwashed into thinking liberals are in favor of socialism or worse, communism, both of which are NOT TRUE. Don’t you see they are making you afraid so they can control you?!

        1. What makes you think that you’re not the one “delusional”and “paranoid”…..what makes you think that the mainstream news is not a “bullshit factory”….what makes you think that you’re not the one who is “brainwashed”….and what makes you think that you’re not the one being “controlled”…..maybe…just maybe…you should think about it….or is “thinking” not an option for you….

        2. This is the funniest comment on this thread. A comment devoid of all reality. A comment reversing the true story. It is the Communist’s that are doing what you say the Good people of America are doing. ABC, CBS, NBC, CNN and MSNBC are the enemy and should be destroyed. They are the liars and immoral people. They are our mortal enemy and should be treated as such. Once they are gone our Country can start getting back to being the Country our Founders envisioned. Not this Communist Tyrannical Government that Thomas Jefferson gave us specific instructions on how to rectify this situation. It is time to heed Jefferson’s word and put the plan in action. Whoa to the enablers ( media, Politicians, FBI, DOJ, DOD, CIA etc..) of this coup. They will rue the day they messed with WE THE PEOPLE.

          1. We are. The 1st Amendment is going at full tilt here. Only when our Constitutional Chips are down will we elevate our campaign.

          2. The media is now aligned with the government. Trump alienated those people. Numb Nuts and his girlfriend are their staunch allies. Between our media, schools, NGOs, Globalists, interlopers and these ideologues entrenched within Washington and our state capitals, American Conservatives face an uphill battle trying to remove Marxist influences from our nation.

        3. Who indoctrinated you? Wake up and get informed and then you won’t be so easy for the Left Wingers to deceive you.

        4. NOPE, you are the delusional one..or have you even read the Constitution? Then you would know that not one Democrat stands for it or anything freedom brings except for themselves just like communism does….wake up!!! AFRAID???? HA!!! we are beginning to DETEST them…..the only ones that should be afraid are the ones on the other side of the fight when God and the patriots take back this country!

      3. maxibaby
        now possibly you should learn what true Communism is and you will find there has been no Communism except in ancient societies and in American Indian tribes before White English based persons turned them from it. What you are referring to is Autocratic, or in other words one man rule, just exactly what trump wanted for this USA.

        1. Jeez Robert, you’re back with a new handle. Adding 6391 does nothing to fix your abject stupidity. Go back to Huff Post, MoveOn or whatever other socialist/communist sites you frequent. No one wants to listen to your infantile pedestrian tripe.

      4. So why are we sitting on our butts doing nothing to stop their COUP.
        Question your military and policemen, who will they stand with in time of a tyrannical government takeover, I think you will be surprised at their answer.
        I believe they will tell you they have been taught to take and carry out orders regardless of who and what those orders are against.
        We have seen this happen at Ruby Ridge and Waco against American Citizens, including women and children, so how far do we let these tyrants go.

        1. The first step to remove a tyrannical regime is to emphasize their taking liberties with our liberties. Do you think charging around the streets of Washington employing conservative platitudes and brandishing weapons is going to unseat these tyrants? That will not work, because Washington will respond with every defensive resource they have at their disposal, along with their dependent constituents and indoctrinated citizens righteously condemning such ‘terrorism’ (While they artfully avoid discussing BLM’s activities..) Americans may be dumbed down, but even our dumbest liberals will eventually realize that these A’holes are ruining the country, bankrupting our treasury, creating rifts between our cultural elements, offshoring our jobs and forcing hundreds of thousand of our fellow citizens onto the streets. (When they’re not sending our young soldiers into proxy wars, or reaping huge amounts of money from gambling establishments, tobacco/alcohol/vape/pot/gas taxation, jacking up our income tax rates/fees/fines/funds, releasing thousands of violent criminals into our cities, and allowing even more criminals across our borders.) In order to remove such people, there MUST be a consensus among Americans. The media and ‘Big Tech’ are doing their utmost to prevent such a consensus from forming. That is our fight: To break through censorship and an expanding government role within our means of communication to get the word out, and rally Americans to exercise their Civil Rights.

      5. Can we stop it before its to late,. Someone please take the military and take Washington and WHITE HOUSE out of Biden and the Communist Democrats control. I bet you that not much resistance would be Found on the streets around Washington and any that is found would be easy to take out for our seal teams . We can put General Flynn in command

      1. But we don’t have a consensus. The problem in America today is that we’re too far along the road to a Marxist ideological leadership. From an early age, our kids are indoctrinated to ‘tolerate’ everything, when they should learn to reject or avoid certain behaviors and regimented speech, which are indicators that a Marxist campaign is underway. This has been going on for a long time, and many Americans have embraced the more appealing elements of this scheme (Particularly women) You and I know the results of our government expanding into regions they’re not supposed to intrude within. What Americans need to do is witness the less appealing aspects of such leadership, and we have sterling examples in other countries to apprise them of these aspects.

    3. Let’s see what happens when they have to fund all their ridiculous free stuff without the actual hard-working Republicans!

    4. Agree – we need to clean out all the corruption and means test all applicants for gov’t office and mil./civ. positions of power using our Constitution as the measuring stick. They need to serve the citizens – not the other way around.

    5. Maybe we could just take them all to our southern border and kick their liberal butts into Mexico?

    6. The socialists are called CATHOLICS. ..CATHOLICS destroy their nation, then move to the next, bringing the failed religion, failed culture, failed education, failed ethics. Then they demand that all their failure be ‘honored’.

    7. Amen!! Better yet…send these Marxist Commies to Canada, Cuba and Venezuela! Arrest them for Treason and send them on boats and emigrate ALL of them to these Communist/Socialist countries so that they may live in the corrupt squalor that they so preach highly of!! Why let these bozos take over the USA and turn it into The CSA (Communist States of America?!) We Patriots should kick them out for good!!

    8. Here, Here!!!! They are traitors after all so they need to be tried for treason and removed from OUR government!

  2. The biggest areas doing the worst are led by Democrats, doesn’t that ever strike the Democrats that their chosen candidates produce the worst results for them?

  3. USA either we, the true Republican conservatives, both socially and fiscally secede or the left wing fanatics go. We both can’t live in the same country! That’s been proven year after year and it’s only getting worse. Biden winning the rigged election just made it that much worse. True it was legal but they jus kept changing the laws and drawing it out until they found enough votes to give it to him. Truth is none of the career politicians wanted him in the White House And they were willing to do everything to make sure that didn’t happen..

    1. this country is ripe for a civil war. however some are ready to shoot. but in reality it takes a tremendous amount of courage to fire the shot. what we need is a redistricting, and a vote for term limits. 12 years aggregate. meaning you get elected to a fed office congress then senate etc. 12 combined and your out. or 4 for congress 4 for senate 4 for president. but 12 is the magic number… and after that you cant be a lobbyist…. better yet eliminate lobbyists.

    2. It would be hilarious if conservative solutions to our dire calamities like “Climate Change” would be enacted: Equip all of these Global Warming alarmists with notepads, pencils, thermometers and pup tents, haul them down to Antarctica, drop them off at the South Pole, and charge them with reporting hourly temperature readings in order to monitor the warming trends. Somehow, they may get the impression that it’s really cold down there.

  4. The Chinese and Russians, not to mention the one world Government UN would absolutely love to see the US break up! The Chinese would be all over California the very next day! It’s time to start arresting communist traitors in the country NOW! Start with Soros, Gates, Zuckerberg and everyone they paid to put into office!

    1. This is one that I will have to add my two cents to. You are absolutely correct. The communists of the world have not been asleep but working slowly and deliberately through positions in academia, journalism, law and politics to affect their desired change from inside the system. Direct confrontation on the streets was not the way to accomplish their goals in this country, but they did try and still will again when it meets their strategic needs. You do not bring a super power down by direct military confrontation (these days that would be suicide) but by rotting it from within. This talk about civil war or secession is precisely what they want and are striving for. If anything like this ever happens this country will cease to exist and you will lose your money, freedom, and in many cases your lives. Now is the time for good Americans who normally do nothing except lament and complain to actually stand up and fight back. But do it lawfully and in the American way before it is to late.

  5. It wasn’t Trump that exhausted us, it was the woke left, the media and the Democrats. I have not in my 69 years seen this country so divided. Not even the late 60’s was it like this. I have a friend of over 55 years and we cannot talk politics because our positions are so diametrically opposite.

    1. Biden’s implicit message was: Unite or ELSE! If he continues unopposed he will form his Gestapo and send them out into the heartland.

  6. BENJAMIN FRANKLIN – A Republic, if you can keep it
    We’re bound to keep it, get rid of the America, Constitution and Freedom Haters

  7. An amicable divorce first.
    Secession by guerrilla action second.
    All out civil war third, with the public execution of all opposition leaders.

  8. Let’s kick these reptiles that are hosts for the nephalism to hell out of our country! Those vile reptiles want to pass that demonic bill HR4 which would strip us of all our democracy and steal away our God given rights to choose who we want in office! We would go out, vote our butts off cause our choice to win in a landslide only to have these sleeze creatures be the ones who decides who takes office and of course it would be a damn dirty democrat! Schumer is trying to pass this garbage to enslave us and politically rape us out of our choices! We voted for DONALD J TRUMP and those cheating mongrels trampled on our democracy and forced the demented idiot and his low class wife on us! Then they have the nerve to complain about their democracy being attacked! No, they just want to run and control out lives! These people are evil, godless trolls and we need to stand against them and fight back! God’s judgement is upon them and I pray to or His justice to destroy this evil communist party in its tracks!

  9. Secession, NO! Civil war – maybe. But the war should be those who love individual liberty against those who love government control. Big government has been ripping the American fabric of liberty since truly repressive big government was instituted under the Democrats by the actions of Franklin Roosevelt in the 1930s. It is now time for all true Americans to destroy this soul-killing horror for all time to come. And if it takes a war to do it – so be it! Thomas Jefferson would wonder what has taken us so long!

  10. Lock and Load, DEMOSHTS want war then war is what they are going to get…….Only good demoshit is a dead one

  11. Ever since the Democrats booed God out of their convention some years ago, their judgment has become increasingly intolerable. They have substituted their political party’s emotional wants and desires ahead of what is good for the country. The left has declared war on conservatism, which includes more than half of America, and their party is rudderless. The left has resorted to lying and cheating to get ahead, and the election fraud in 2020 just shows what depths they are willing to stoop to in order to achieve their wants. The Democrats NEED to be exposed, and banished from office because America deserves better than what they are selling.

  12. Bring the war on. I’m conservative – I’m well-armed – I am an excellent marksman and I despise liberals.

  13. Yes the time has come for We the People the true American Patriots along with President Donald John Trump to return this great nation back to the Constitutional Republic that Our Founding Father’s intended it to be. America is no place for Socialist Communism. This is America!!!! Love it or leave it!!!! We shall not back down! We shall not give up! We shall overcome!!!

  14. Biden should be impeached, along w/his vice-president. Their offenses are more numerous and vindictive than anything President Trump was accused of leading to impeachment trials twice.
    Instead of session, let’s get rid of the destroyers of our country. Surely their must be enough in congress that still love God, family, and country.

  15. Civil War 2!!!!!! It’s only a matter of time before the bullets start to fly. The socialist/communist/woke idiots are about to awaken the ARMED silent majority. God help us!!

  16. In 1956, the Russian President told us that what will destroy America is America itself. From with in, the last 75 years we have nurturing a cancer that has taken over the democrat party. Thay have subverted our school system, news media, our laws and political system. Time to wake up and fright back this subvertion and restore our history and culture. We Americans have nothing to be afraid of. Fighting subversion has taken a massive effort by the people to support their rights against this evil that has been trying to take down our country, constitution and history since the beginning of our formation as a people and country. It will take effort and strength to keep our freedom and culture.

  17. Sorry, but I’m an American first. I prefer a democracy and not some secessionist dictatorship.

  18. I’m all for separation of the country onto three pieces. In fact, I think it is inevitable eventually.

    The Mountain, Heartland, and South regions would become one country, while the Pacific and Northeast regions would become two more separate countries. Also allow the eastern parts of Oregon and Washington State to become part of the Mountain region. Maybe do the same thing with some parts of the Heartland region too, if you can find a way to keep them contiguously connected to the Northeast region.

    I believe that America’s future is headed in one of two directions –
    peaceful separation into 3 or 4 separate countries,
    or a civil war which will result in the separation of the country into 3 or 4 separate countries.
    We can do it peacefully, or we can do it violently, but we will do it.

  19. I can understand the trend. We live in a “disposable” society. Marriage – when the going gets tough, HALF divorce. It’s the easy way out. I’d like to know the demographics of the polling; I doubt many are over 50 years old. I still believe 85% of Americans are basically center left, center, center right. It’s the fringe that cause all the havoc. Even CA is starting to elect down-ballot GOP. I think the insane – like BLM, Antifa, Pelosi, etc have made headway because the bulk of Americans fell asleep. But no longer. I think we will start to see an increasing number of moderates from BOTH sides band together to fight the extreme communist raid on America. I think this great country can still be saved.

    1. I’ve been married for 30 years. It’s not an easy means to live with a woman. They’re moody, manipulative, mendacious, clannish, scheming, and they have just as many annoying and expensive habits as men. Perhaps they’ve watched too many “I Love Lucy” episodes, and absorbed her attitudes. Whatever the case, men should not marry women these days. Women don’t need men. They’re liberated and self sufficient. A man’s sole value to females is their presence when they’re dragged to parties or other social settings as an exhibit for women to boast that they “Have it all”. As these now-emancipated women are quickly learning, they don’t–and won’t–have it all.

  20. Since when the Conservative tried this back in about 1860,it did not work then and it will not work now when Conservatives are actually only about 35% of the population if that.
    Now history shows that the persons who start Civil Wars have never won in the history of the World, objectively it is said because the majority of persons do not like aggressors in any way, the same is true about a civil war as is true about a fight the person who starts it is considered the bad person, by the majority.

  21. Impeach the Demented Pedophile Fool NOW – after the audits September Trump is back in office -all of the communists that had anything to do with the voter fraud – prison for crimes against America – communists gone All Good again – Impeach the Fool Now

  22. The people who love America should stay. Those who hate is should be happy to leave. You can raise my taxes to pay for their transport!

  23. Based upon the above map, why not just divide into two nations, give the libtards the coastal areas and conservatives the rest of the nation and see who comes out on top in 10 years.

  24. Have to clear way to escape Dems for Own Nation or let Dems form thier own either way
    Need new borders when Dems declare their own “states”

  25. The left so desperately want the US to be like Europe that this could be what they want. A half dozen or so small counties requiring papers to cross borders so that hey can keep track of your every move.

  26. Funny, through out the 50’s and 60’s, Communism and Socialism were blasted on every front. Now, Americans are embracing it as a cure for their woes real or imagined. I traveled extensively in Eastern Europe during the 70’s and these people have no idea what it is like to live under such a system. You can thank the schools for this indoctrination with the media a close second.

  27. Why would anyone have to ask if someone would want to secede from a nation ruled by biden/hairyass and the democrats,just look at how they have destroyed the UNITED STATES FROM WITHIN just as krushchev predicted the would destroy the USA from within.

  28. Can’t be anyone of those 81million who voted for Joe Bama O’bidet in a “rigged-election”…ya think❓

  29. Let’s cut out the “CRAP”!!! What CHEATER Joe Biden and the CHEATER criminal Democrat Party Mob leadership want is to “destroy completely our American Democracy and every one of us legal American voters for a new American Communist Dictatorship with all of us, the basic free American people, their blind SLAVES”!!! That is their “GRAND PLAN END GAME”!!!! It is time to fight back or become their SLAVES, period!!!

  30. How about disenfranchising these communist cities and states and all good God loving citizens of the United States of America can stay American, they can be called the terrorist ass wipes of the world in their stink hole city and states of the ass hole and fence them in not to enter our United States of America!

  31. We must act and act now! Someone must take control of the military and remove Biden and , take control of the white house and save our country before Democrats can finish what they are doing . Please someone do something. I can not watch as we destroy are country and the freedom we enjoy

    1. Before you have to plead the 5th Amendment, you must know a certain element of the Miranda Warning: “Anything you say can and will be used against you”. This forum is a public entity, and our government monitors posts which ‘may’ contain ‘extremist’ viewpoints and terminology. (Can you believe those A’Holes have classified any mention of the 2nd Amendment as an ‘extremist’ expression?!) The 2nd Amendment was written long before our government had F-16s, Abrams Tanks, LASERs and sophisticated spy gear. However, the SPIRIT of our key Civil Right is still our responsibility to maintain a Free State, which entails the emphasis on maintaining a Constitutionally Limited Government. Once those people commence editorializing their functions to expand their authority, we’re supposed to remind them that those limits are firm, and will be adhered to. Numb Nuts marches up to a podium to cast his authoritarian pearls among the swine about how our borders will be dissolved: A pure violation of our government functions. He also intends to disarm the American people (But not HIS people…) under the guise that he will keep us safe from gun violence. What will keep us safe will be our own weapons to defend ourselves. That was the spirit I mentioned. The Framers knew how a government becomes a regime. If Americans would only unify to recognize the threats against our freedoms, we would know that such a regime is forming, and take steps to dismantle their powers.

  32. Trump won the election and that is now a proven fact and I think he would be O.k. With this effort to save our country from Communist . Trump is are President And he is the Commander and Chief

  33. Though such sentiments are understandable–and they’re certainly nothing new–we cannot take a buzz saw and chop our country into pieces. America is declining in several ways, not the least of which involves our government spending us into bankruptcy, while they’re divvying up our jobs among foreign countries, creating throngs of homeless people. Our borders have been dissolved, and our population increases with interlopers who casually breach our boundaries, and are welcomed by liberals who’ll provide for their housing, food, education and healthcare on our dime, in exchange for their votes. Rather than divide our people, we need to consolidate our citizens to present Washington with a determined constituency demanding our sovereignty, the integrity of our elections, and the limiting of our government powers to those specified in the Constitution they swear to obey. Our Two Party System is a ruse: There is only one party, and they work together to centralize their authority, while they erode our Civil Rights with increasingly draconian measures, such as Gun Control and Climate Change mandates, among others. These people have lost touch with America, aligning themselves with a Globalist cabal to regiment the earth’s population from the safety of a foreign, non-elected administration. Rather than advance their scheme by dividing our own borders, we need to redress this regime in Washington with one voice: And our voice will ring loudly when we stand together.

  34. Personally those who hate America and want to turn it into another commie piece of crap should be the ones to leave. Russia, China, Venezuela all have plenty of land and communism. We the original flag wavers were here first not the commies. They leave, we Trumpers/patriots stay, period. The only reasons why democrats are saying they want to secede is because republicans are saying they want to secede. If republican areas secede where would the democrat/commies go when they realize their states are crumbling with their own doing because the republican areas would not be welcoming them since the democrats started the commie take over not being satisfied with our American culture, not the republicans.
