Forget secession, that doesn’t seem to work (it’s bloody and messy, costs thousands of lives, uniforms, bullets the whole thing is ugly). Let’s try expulsion from the union, 49 states voting to throw VT out! That will work ! Much cleaner.
If I lived in New England I’d already have a restraining order against VT in the works, and I’d be busy be throwing their crap out the window onto the front lawn.
Either that, or send in a crew of Blackwater contractors to “clean things up” and then rename the state “New Myanmar”.
Why don't we see this in divorce? What man says to his soon to be ex-wife "I know you think I'm 'boring' and don't make enough money, but I really want to keep you here on the couch eating bon bons and getting fat. If you leave I will forcibly drag you back and chain you to that sofa and force you to watch Oprah and Lifetime."?
