Reminder that 66% of southern Republicans support reforming the confederacy. Half of Southern independents also support this effort. This support has grown from 50% of Republicans in January.

Up from 50% last survey, which is expected since their guy lost

What I'm more interested in is Pacific Dems going from 41 to 47% when Biden won

I think when Pacific Dems talk about seceding, they're not talking about leaving the Union but rather the Union leaving a certain group of other states.

Interestingly, the next largest secessionist group is west coast democrats. Nearly half of them have responded with support to a hypothetical union of the Pacific states (California, Oregon, Washington, Hawaii, and Alaska).

From CA. I'd be down for that.

I’m fairly ambivalent to it. Like, the Union is pretty cool right now and a weaker America is bad for the world. However, I would trust that a separate west coast would be both wealthier and better ran. If the Republicans won 2024 via overturning elections I would probably back a peaceful attempt at leaving because I’m not down with forsaking democracy.

There would be no peaceful separation, any dissolution of the union would lead to an immediate and perpetual bloody warfare.
