I definitely think you should just have three states, slack hipsters on the west coast, edgy hipsters on the east coast, and redneck hipsters in the south.

The local governments are the ones mostly causing the local issues, so, unironically, yeah

Sounds good to me. Just relocate the White House, Congress, and the Supreme Court to Lincoln, NE. DC gets reabsorbed into Maryland.

It would devolve into civil war pretty fast.

At least the rest of the world would be free of the US for a while.

Do it.

Europe just straight up calls itself different countries, they don't even bother with the "state" courtesy. Make Europe one country and we'll get rid of our silly state borders. I have all the necessary paperwork right here.

It would be called AMERICA in all capitals and the flag would be like a red white and blue version of Mozambiques, except the book would be a bible, the ho would be an actual Ho. And the AK would be an AR.

Everyone in Europe speaks English. They have other languages that people speak when they're feeling folksy and exclusive, but the same is true for America. We just don't bitch about it as much because we're less French.

Just let Texas and Florida secede like they’re always threatening to and put the District of Columbia and Puerto Rico in their place. Hell, throw Guam in there, as well.

They should make more states, split them to have 100. One senator each.

You'd have to do it by population, so California would become about 20 states.

Some people are trying to make “New California” with basically every county except, LA, Sacramento and a few bay area counties. I think there’s another group trying to expand Idaho to include northern california and eastern Oregon.
