The GOP has long painted the Democrats as unpatriotic and they have claimed for themselves a monopoly on Americanness, with talk of "real America" and such. But now that Obama has won reelection, a large percentage of Republicans support their states seceding from the union. The GOP motto: USA! USA!, if my guy wins office. Otherwise, fuck America!

But a HuffPost/YouGov poll, released Friday, found that most Americans don't embrace their own state severing ties with the nation. Over half opposed seeing their state secede, with 42 percent strongly opposing the idea, while 22 percent said they supported the idea. A quarter weren't sure.

Republicans were more likely to support the proposition: 43 percent said they were in favor of the idea, compared to 22 percent of Independents and just 10 percent of Democrats.
