The secession of few blue states would relieve the political pressure everywhere, both blue and red.

[Brian Griffin]

The leftists want us to be their tax slaves.

[rktman]

Yup. When you get Utopia up and running and you find work, send us a postcard. LOL!

[caprock]

So far all 4 replies are GOLDEN!

[Little Ray]

Uh, no.
Most of the land in the world is spoken for, and the countries owning this or that acreage are not going to let anyone set up a new country on it. Hell, hippies couldn’t even set up a country on the Thames Estuary forts (Sealandia).

It would be NICE if there were some place we could exile violent malcontents and allow them to build in a nation of their own, though.

Like my Grampappy used to say “ if you don’t like it here there’s a boat leaving every day.” I miss him.

Give them Epstein's island.

He's not using it anymore.

This whole protest against America is fueled by 1) blacks who want more money. They're desperately trying to guilt stupid crackers into trillions of "reparations" bucks. The only way to shut these spoiled, mentally deficient children up is to give them money. And it will shut them up ..... for a time. They're now like Pavlov's dogs, viz. every time that bell rings, their mouths water.

The protest is also fueled by trained and paid agitators who aren't desirous of correcting the country's ills. They want to destroy America. They are paid by hostile foreign governments and hostile domestic fat, diseased, ugly billionaires.

"Change" was never a part of the equation.

[skimbell]

I like this idea better than state secession.

[Blood of Tyrants]

Yep. Actually just a few cities and surrounding areas.

[Blood of Tyrants]

In their utopia, no one will have to work. They will all live off “the government”. Let Soros and Gates, and Bezos and Zuckerberg support them.

Now this pops up on the USAA log in page:

“USAA making a 3 year, $50 million commitment to advance racial equality

In order to fulfill our commitment to help the military community achieve financial security, USAA is compelled to make significant and lasting impact with a three-year, $50 million pledge.”

Do these people have ZERO clue how much money has been spent since CRA 64 in a quest for ‘equality’? Special treatment is NOT equal treatment. Even I can figure that out.

[rktman]

So, if everything is ‘free’, why would they need to tax folks more that make over $400K? What do they need money for? Free’s free right? LOL!

[Nuc 1.1]

Respectfully disagree. The moment any secession is finalized, the marxists will begin the invasion and destruction of their immediate neighbors and begin planning the destruction of the new free US. Communists never stop conquering, ruining, and killing. Don’t fall for the go our separate ways scam.

[bert]

If the Marxists are dead, there will be no invasion

[Karoo]

If they were able to set up their “ideal” country, within a yr they would be fighting.

I am telling everyone here, these people are not happy people. They are miserable and angry.

They are pitiful and should have an island of their own

[z3n]

I would donate to this. I would love for the socialists to leave! I would wish them all the best, as long as they are now able to stop trying to force everyone else to their long failed failure.

But they would never accept this. At least not those at the top of their pyramid who machinate how to bring marxism to everywhere. The morons at the bottom would probably happily go.

The reason they would never accept just leaving is because their ideas cannot succeed without sucking in the unwilling. Socialism in particular cannot exist next to capitalism and societies with liberty and private property rights. They can’t compete. Their people have no motivation to excel, or even be productive. They know damned well that if their people had some border to cross to get too, they’d have to build a wall to stop the exodus. And the same goes for authoritarian/totalitarian social control (justice?). It sounds good, but once implemented and isolated, it corrodes into full fascism.

[Charles Martel]

I've seen this story before - it doesn't end well.

[EQAndyBuzz]

Give them Sinai. Build it according to their green new deal specifications. Then see how long their society lasts. Make it an international city and move the UN there.
