Election Night Thread

I'm ready Anthony, but so far it looks like Illinois would be cut off from joining a coterminous USC. Realistically, only the coastlines would be likely to join it, for now, unless Trump horrifies his former voters in the other former blue states. Probably on the coasts of the west, and the small states and coasts of the east, as inland portions of states like CA NY OR PA WA would stay in Jesusland. New Mexico could join Old Mexico if it wanted.

And it might not be pretty. Although Democrats would be all too happy to let Texas secede, Trump with his revenge temperament might play Lincoln and call on his troops to invade CA and the NE coast.

We Americans may just have voted to become Syria.

California has never waged a war for independence. It was easy for Polk to capture it. Nothing much more than raising a flag. But now, troops on the ground have to cross mountains and deserts. Trump can send bombers and drones to turn our lovely cities into ruins. He can shell us from the sea, but not reach too much. But it may take much more to actually conquer us. Look how long it has taken Assad, Iran and Putin to conquer Syria, even with half the country fleeing. I'm sure we can find some jihadists of some kind to help us defend ourselves too. Trump and Putin will therefore call us "terrorists" and even allow them in for propaganda purposes.
