I’m on the coast and I’m THRILLED!! So are a lot of other Staten Islanders.
If we could become a state, with half a million people, we would.
Statan Island is a whole different world. Tonight it is quiet where I live. Not surprised. It has been a tiring 24 hours which started last night at first like a wild roller coaster ride of wondering if Mr. Trump was going to win.
These liberal enclaves may secede from the Union of the States, if they so desire, and set up their own “blue” republics, subject to whatever cockamamie rules of governance they consider compatible with their view of the world, but leave the “red” districts alone, and not try to impose their rules upon us.
No barriers would be put in the way of these republics seceding. But one separated from their “red” neighbors, a wall would be thrown up, and out-migration from these territories would be sharply restricted, only being permitted if the applicant could show that as an individual, the ways of the “red” district are entirely acceptable and that person shall faithfully abide with these rules. Those in the “red” zone that are dissatisfied with the rules, would be offered the opportunity to remove to the “blue” district of their choice, but it is strictly a one-way, one-time decision, and irreversible. Henceforth, all trade and movement between the “red” and “blue” zones would be strictly regulated, and subject to harsh penalties if the authority of these regulations is violated.
