The Patriot Post® · The South Should Secede, He Explained
Guy Saperstein, a major Democrat donor and part owner of the Oakland Athletics, would like to bid farewell to the South. As in he wants the South to secede. “For more than 100 years, the South has been dumbing down national politics, tilting the country in a conservative direction, supporting militarism, all while demanding huge financial subsidies from blue states,” Saperstein wrote. “It would be 100% fine with me if the South was a separate nation, pursuing its own priorities and destiny.” Naturally, we don’t agree that our native South is “dumbing down national politics,” but we’d also note that we tried seceding once, and it didn’t end well.
