I don't understand this take. A lot of us didn't ask for this? A lot of us still want a better country to live in and are actively protesting against the fascist government here. Instead of telling us to rot in hell, why don't you help and support us?

Unfortunately for you, whatever happens in the US will also affect the world.

Like, what do you personally think about the idea of, say, some blue states seceding from the US?

Would that make sense in your mind?

It's not a trick question, there are no right or wrong answers, i'm just trying to understand.

That doesn't not make sense at all.
