    Now that I am no longer in FL and live in a blue state… cool, I like the idea but I’m not a fucking traitorous asshole to my country. When are we putting this bitch up on the gallows?

    So they know that Texas doesn’t have a GDP high enough to even run all their red catastrophies, right? I’m kidding, I know they don’t know. They probably also don’t know that CA would be the third largest super power if they ever let us go. Which they won’t. At all.

      Californians are in an abusive relationship. Blamed for everything and not allowed to leave

      I don’t know, they are certainly close to dumb enough to sign off on it. Or, you know, we can just do it and ignore the rules since they are all so fond of that now.

    I mean… as long as California takes Colorado and New Mexico with it, I see no real issues with that. We get the economy, the nature, and the nukes.

      It’ll never happen. US Military would never willingly split itself apart, let itself get split apart, or let another nation that it’s not allied with have any sort of Army on its equivalent. The 50 states are here to stay.

          Even a peaceful division of the US would be something they would seriously benefit from. The US permanently divided against itself, each side easy to manipulate into a military conflict against the other. We would have nukes pointed at each other within a decade. It would be like the splitting of India and Pakistan, along with all the accompanying human rights atrocities.

        The US military is going to be replaced by Trump loyalists. Whatever he wants to happen is what’s gonna happen.

      It’s expansive here in the places you may want to live, but seriously… It’s worth it. There’s also a lot of cheap places that aren’t as ideal.

    Canada has given the world some of the worst extremists, racists, etc. (Proud Boys being one of the more recent horrible things we’ve exported)

    There’s a group that popped up during the convoy called diagolon. They posted this way back which seems like how things would work (a path from Russia to Florida)

    They claim it’s a joke, but isn’t it always just a joke.

      Diagolon sounds too much like where Harry bought his wizard supplies.

      Why do these idiots always pick names that just make them sound even dumber?

        I mean, “Proud Boys” are obsessed with men hanging out with manly men because something something bros and not being gay.

        Then named themselves after a show tune?

    Predictable. The donvict-humpers supposedly “win”, and then get even MORE angry. Why so angry?

    I suspect it’s because for this brief period of time, anyway, it’s hard for them to avoid just how HATED they and their precious golden donvict truly are. They thought they’d “win” and all the normal Americans around them would just disappear. And yet, Karens like Green continue to get confronted by normal people.

        This is outrageously anecdotal but the trumpers I know were all grins on the day after until they realized we weren’t gonna just get over this and they just labeled themselves. They seem pissy now, and one in my office in particular that used to chat with me about sports is really broken up I don’t want to anymore

          Yeah, the Professional Left did an entire section about this and they mentioned the case where some husband is completely gobsmacked that his wife filed for divorce.

          But yeah, I’ve seen the same thing and heard about it from others. Lots of quiet interactions about how so and so is a big proponent of donvict; don’t invite him/her to {whatever social function}.

          The refrain of “yeah, but let’s just agree to disagree” - I can see why many people, especially those most at risk thanks to what they wan, are thinking: “YEAH, FUCK THAT. You just voted to harm me, and you want to act like it’s just a disagreement?”

    Since the House and EC are capped, we should take the excess population that is not being represented and move it around.
