According to the same poll, 47% of Democrats in Pacific coastal states, including Hawaii and Alaska, would be open to breaking off.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou know, I\u2019m probably going to get myself in trouble for this, but would it be the worst thing?\u201d asked Fox News contributor Lisa Boothe regarding secession. \u201cI don\u2019t know, I\u2019m sick and tired of people who hate this country, I\u2019m sick and tired of [those] who say the flag is some sort of sign of evilness or oppression, who despise the country we live in. I\u2019m tired of the government now, you know, people like Biden want to weaponize the government against people who supported Trump.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo I don\u2019t know, would it be the worst thing?\u201d Boothe reiterated, adding that she would want any national divorce to be peaceful.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Related<\/strong>: <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/blm-chapter-declares-u-s-flag-hate-symbol-denounces-those-who-fly-it-as-unsafe-racist-stupid\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">BLM Chapter Declares U.S. Flag Hate Symbol; Denounces Those Who Fly It As Unsafe, Racist, Stupid<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>\u201cI would take a little different view than Lisa on this because, you know, we did try this once and it didn\u2019t end well,\u201d said Bahsen Group founder David Bahnsen. \u201cThis is what I would say. It is not one of the enumerated powers in the Constitution that \u2014 those of us on the Right care about the Bill of Rights \u2014 the states are in, they joined, and I have a bigger problem with the states that act like they already have seceded, that don\u2019t care about flyover country, don\u2019t care about rural America[.]\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bahsen went on to explain that any modern-day secession would be very complicated because the divide does not fall along state lines as it did during the Civil War. \u201cSecession doesn\u2019t work because we don\u2019t have a country divided red-state and blue-state. We have blue cities, so even within the states you would have to have mini-secessions.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Gutfeld went on to suggest that rural Americans could wall up the cities.<\/p>\n<p>WATCH:<\/p>\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Poll shows some Americans would entertain the idea of secession\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/l7_P3Safn-Y?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<p>As The Daily Wire <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/2-in-3-southern-republicans-want-to-secede-from-union-nearly-half-of-pacific-nw-democrats-poll\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">reported<\/a>:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"19\">\n<p><em>BrightLaneWatch, which conducted a similar survey right after the Capitol riot on January 6, anticipated political tempers would have \u201ccooled\u201d with the removal of former President Donald Trump. \u201cYet rather than support for secession diminishing over the past six months, as we expected, it rose in every region and among nearly every partisan group,\u201d they wrote.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>The poll comes as President Joe Biden and others increasingly invoke the Civil War to describe GOP voting laws and the Capitol riot.
