WARNING TO READERS
If you applauded the president’s message to the Proud Boys to “stand back and stand by” when the 2020 election doesn’t go his way, don’t read this tongue-in-cheek letter. If you find it chilling and need a good laugh, this epistle may bring a smile and a chuckle.
Dear Red States…
We’ve decided we’re leaving.
We intend to form our own country, and we’re taking the other Blue States with us. In case you aren’t aware, that includes Hawaii, Oregon, California, New Mexico, Washington, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois and all the Northeast.
We believe this split will be beneficial to the nation, and especially to the people of New Puerto Rico, U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam and Washington D.C.
We also get Costco and Boeing.
To sum up briefly: You get Texas, Oklahoma and all the slave states. We get stem cell research and the best beaches.
We get the Statue of Liberty. You get Branson, Missouri.
We get Intel and Microsoft. You get WorldCom.
We get 85 percent of America’s venture capital and entrepreneurs. You get Alabama.
We get two-thirds of the tax revenue, you get to make the red states pay their fair share.
Since our aggregate divorce rate is 22 percent lower than the Christian Coalition’s, we get a bunch of happy families.
Please be aware that Nuevo California will be pro-choice and anti-war, and we’re going to want all our citizens back from Iraq at once.
If you need people to fight, ask your evangelicals. They have kids they’re apparently willing to send to their deaths for no purpose, and they don’t care if you don’t show pictures of their children’s caskets coming home.
With the Blue States in hand, we will have firm control of 80 percent of the country’s fresh water, more than 90 percent of the pineapple and lettuce, 92 percent of the nation’s fresh fruit, 95 percent of America’s quality wines (you can serve French wines at state dinners) 90 percent of all cheese, 90 percent of the high tech industry, most of the U.S. low-sulfur coal, all living redwoods, sequoias and condors, all the Ivy and Seven Sister schools, plus . . . Stanford, Cal Tech and MIT.
With the Red States, on the other hand, you will have to cope with 88 percent of all obese Americans (and their projected health care costs), 92 percent of all U.S. mosquitoes, nearly 100 percent of the tornadoes, 90 percent of the hurricanes,
99 percent of all Southern Baptists, virtually 100 percent of all televangelists, Rush Limbaugh, Alex Jones and Rand Paul. We get Hollywood and Yosemite, thank you.
Additionally, 62 percent of you believe life is sacred unless we’re discussing the death penalty or gun laws, 44 percent say that evolution is only a theory, 53 percent that Saddam was involved in 9/11 and 61 percent of you crazy bastards believe you are people with higher morals then we lefties.
Oh, and you can have all the new Corona cases since you’re too dumb and self- centered to wear a mask.
Peace out,
People of the blue states

Gordon, You need to include one slave state the new California. Maryland was a Slave State. Paul Haugh my 5th or 6th grandfather owned two slaves at his death. One was his daughter. Lived in Fredrick County, Maryland. PS he was religious too. The Mount Zion Evangelical Lutheran (Haugh’s ) Church on Haugh’s Church Road.
Baltimore has had a Segregation Ordinance 1910 and a corrupt government from time to time.
But we do have Johns Hopkins University and Medicine…..You may have heard of them, THe Applied Physics Lab… And the largest Research Budget on the planet.
There are a couple of sins that can be attributed to Boston. One was Mathers. The Mathers according to “Stamped From the Beginning argued for baptizing slaves… and teaching them that to be Christian is being a good servant…

Hilda, the credit goes to “Anonymous” — it came to from one of Kay’s old friends (Mary . Mary had received it from her friend. I assumed it was original. I may be wrong, as I am at least twice/day, but it was worth a good laugh.
