The non-communist parts of Washington state need to secede and set up a 2nd Amendment Sanctuary state.

Call it the state of Mason.

In 1787, Mason was named one of his state’s delegates to the Constitutional Convention and traveled to Philadelphia, his only lengthy trip outside Virginia. Many clauses in the Constitution bear his stamp, as he was active in the convention for months before deciding that he could not sign it. He cited the lack of a bill of rights most prominently in his Objections, but also wanted an immediate end to the slave trade and a supermajority for navigation acts, which might force exporters of tobacco to use more expensive American ships. He failed to attain these objectives, and again at the Virginia Ratifying Convention of 1788, but his prominent fight for a bill of rights led fellow Virginian James Madison to introduce the same during the First Congress in 1789; these amendments were ratified in 1791, a year before Mason died. Obscure after his death, Mason has come to be recognized, in the 20th and 21st centuries, for his contributions to the early United States and to Virginia.

A separate state has long been discussed. The easy would be east of the Cascades and the “normal” state and west as the left part.

But there are large parts of Western Washington that ARE normal. So a border around King Co.and parts of Snohomosh Co. would do it.

I other words, isolate the bastards
