Some people are voting with their feet and moving to free states. Some may need some coaching so they don’t vote for what they escaped.
This is an excellent idea. Strength in numbers, coordination in policy and action, the nucleus of future polity. Someone needs to propose it to the National Governors Association for sponsorship in each State’s legislature. The time is now.
Nah, Texas just needs to leave this failed experiment called America. No more games, time to go.
This is the kind of thinking that we need if important concepts like Liberty are going to survive. The cultural institutions from which our values grew has been nearly destroyed. The communists will not be stopped by rugged individualists rationally pursuing their own economic self interests. We are not in an Ayn Rand novel.
The current structure of the “United” States is not working. There is already upheaval; there will be a lot more, no matter what. The people who don’t want it “fundamentally transformed” are targeted for elimination by the elites or whatever we are calling them. Those people who are not “woke” are going to need their own spaces. With borders. That are enforced.
Great idea. The Free States have a common enemy that seeks to isolate each state under the principles of Alinsky.
If Texas wants to do that they better do it soon before Californacation sets in.
Florida, Texas, Oklahoma, West Virginia, Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Tennessee. Others?
A good start to total secession and forming a NEW union of like minded states and counties.
(A drive-by response from a poster that hasn't read the article:)
Only where the sole purpose of the coalition is to unite on an agenda, mobilize, enter and recapture the "non-Free American States", politically speaking, of course.
Any coalition with a "let live" attitude that stands apart would appear to serve the goal of the anti-MAGA's - which clearly includes initially dividing our nation.
Children are already divided into those that can think and the ones wearing masks. Public school racism or private education. It will not be pretty when the racists can’t figure out how to add a column of numbers.
It’s always encouraging when a conservative has clearly never read the Constitution:
Article I, Section 10, Clause 3
No State shall, without the Consent of Congress, ... enter into any Agreement or Compact with another State.
Would help if they got off the fedgov teats. How can you fight fedgov power if you're on the take from fedgov?
It's time for a "coalition of the willing" to come together again.
Sounds like a Civil War reboot.
Too late. Dems control nearly all major cities.
And when these free states, such as Florida, enter into such a compact, Congress will suddenly and conveniently remember its Constitutional duty to approve or disapprove such a compact. In recent times, it seems that Congress has implicitly approved interstate compacts such as RGGI by sitting on its ass.
But now, all of a sudden, it will be probing this compact with a microscope and an alien anal probe and ultimately casting a vote of disapproval, which will hopefully BE IGNORED by the free states.
JMO.
PING!
What happens to conferences like this is that the hardliners and those who aren't as hardline don't get along and each pull in their own direction. People who show up thinking they are on board with the program are turned off by those they think too extreme and the meeting breaks down.
