I’m not shocked. I’ve been saying peaceful divorce the whole time.

Hey just chiding you. I is near u, so, easy to mess up. My worst is s and d.

What keyboard? On a smartphone? Those are horrid. Even on this iPad I hate how sometimes the keyboard replaces upper letters with the numbers. Desktop always best.

I got your message which is very good, of course!

OTOH, it does show how not being quite there is distracting, and hence why it’s so important! Lord knows whenever a lib types one thing wrong FR picks on it big time!

Take care!

How is it not contiguous?

Look at a map.

Western, Northern and Northeast Pennsylvania border Ohio, West Virginia, and Western NY. And Northern and Western NY border Vermont which, again, is only Blue because of the colleges and 2-3 cities, then east to New Hampshire and Maine. The only people screwed in that region are the folks on Long Island, unfortunately. And Western Mass and a sizable chunk of Connecticut are contiguous with eastern NY, Vermont and New Hampshire.

Every place I mentioned is contiguous with each other.

You’re still taking into account the current state borders.

What I’m saying is, if this were to happen, those borders would cease to exist.

The folks of Central and Eastern Washington & Oregon would want it on the new, RED Country, would they not? Would you prevent that because they don’t want to live under Kate Brown anymore.

Would you want to deny the folks on the Upper Peninsula of Michigan an opportunity to live in the new, RED Country because of the current state boundaries.

What makes Virginia, Blue? About 3 or 4 counties in Northern Virginia, next to DC, Richmond and the area around Norfolk/VaBeach. That’s it.

What give NC the ability to elect a Dem Governor, taking away the fraud? Charlotte, Raleigh, Durham and maybe a little from Asheville.

Again, all of the current lines/borders would be redrawn and the Blue cities will soon realize they’re on a very lonely island. Or all of the liberals will be moving out.

Pure and simple.........Eazy Peazy

One could argue it’s treason, but who cares? It’s moot when you split away!

The bad treason is when you try to subvert the country and change it. Genuine Revolution, IOW.

Better all our libs left the country, E.g., than trying to subvert it and change it into their commie vision.

No actually it’s a tablet. Good sized one actually, but still have trouble with hitting wrong letters. On my desktop I don’t hit keys nest to each other very often, but still do always reverse things like hte, adn, coudl, etc. Alhtough I don’t see the letters in reverse,, so I don’t think it’s dyslexia-

I was told it was a neurological thing, can’t remember the name now, but I spend most of my time correcting my posts, or trying to- I miss a lot of mistake though. That coupled with bad brain fog makes posting a chore

What you stated before basically says leave the cities (stated many times on this thread). That is not contiguous, at least for them. Unless you suggest they don’t band together to form a larger Union of non-contiguous locales.

Also, read my other postings.

People would have to move. Sorry. It was not an issue for immigrants to totally lose contact with their background as they crossed oceans to come here. Is it so much to ask you sell your house and get one from a lib where they’ve been alienated?

Tablets better but yes, not having the feel of a keyboard, still tougher!

As to your ideas I see where you’re coming from. That is liberal tax syndrome. Liberals don’t like the taxes and move to the next conservative low-tax area. Start voting for all the commie ideas they like and get more taxes. Rinse, repeat.

Same idea you mention.

My idea is we could split, with a schedule, then each side make sure it has what laws they want in place. Easy for us because we just start with the Constitution. Hard because we’d have to cut out millions of regs libs have developed.

Even if libs stay in the so-called red side, they can decide they despise this non-rules society so much they will be welcome to leave, no likely welcomed into that commie paradise.

It was not an issue for immigrants to totally lose contact with their background as they crossed oceans to come here.....Did the Italians in Little Italy lose contact with their backgrounds when they crossed an ocean to come here.

How about all the other immigrants that crossed an ocean and settled into areas with others from their ancestral home.

Do the muslim’s invading this country lose contact with their background, like the ones in Dearborn, Michigan or Hicksville, NY?

As for the liberals in the cities, they made their beds. Let them lie in it. If they end up being surrounded by a sea of RED, where they no longer have control of things, fine by me. In fact, I’d build a wall around all of them, control access and let them eat each other alive.

Good job. You are learning the rules. We have to play by their dictates and ask permission from their tyrants and bureaucrats.

Refuse to send money to DC, refuse to take money from DC, refuse Fed agencies in state, refuse to enforce non state approved Fed ‘laws’ in state.

How is that going to spill over to your zone?

I’d care about practicalities like that. And it’s not easy to just say “just shoot them if they come over” - we don’t need to be that Soviet.

As for your Italy stuff - the point is, immigrants LEFT real home, and likely would never see it again, not even for a visit. Sure they gather together. That actually helps a bit, for them to GET acclimated. But many were not here with their whole families, and certainly not in familiar environs and language, etc.

That is much more effort and alienation than me, say, moving to Kansas. Or even CA native moving here. The language (mostly!) and the traditions are the same overall.

Maybe a divorce or separation is the answer to irreconcilable differences when “peaceful coexistence” isn’t possible.

Good. Let's secede.

From my home page

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Secession

It's time for us to jettison those who reject our national values because there's no changing them. Time to secede.

We should extend the invitation to secede on a county by county basis.

While we're at it, since we'd be forming a new country, we should extend the invitation to counties in Canada and Mexico as well.

I’d care about practicalities like that....The practicality of that, for me, is, the Left/Liberals/Democrats caused all this mess. With the help of some Republicans, I haven’t forgot about them. So, they can pound salt up their a$$es as far as I’m concerned. Nothing impractical about it for me, in any way. They don’t like their new situation, move.

Isn’t that what they’re doing now anyway? After decades of their policies destroying their liberal cities/enclaves, they’re now moving to the Red areas, bring all their bs with them and ruining the next place.

Federalist Guy Did Not Move To Tennessee To Live With A Bunch Of Liberal Colonizers ..... https://www.wonkette.com/federalist-guy-did-not-move-to-tennessee-to-live-with-a-bunch-of-liberal-colonizers

They are locusts that destroy everything in their path. Sadly, there aren’t many places left for them to destroy.

How is that going to spill over to your zone?

I would be doing cartwheels to see Atanta, most of Fulton County, Dekalb, Clayton, Albany, Augusta, and Savannah whither away to nothing. I would be doing cartwheels and actually help any and all liberals pack on their journey to the new Blue Country, wherever it is.

Yes, I would be a happy man. I’d bbq and have a cold beer or two.

If Texas, Florida, or Montana secedes, then I am going there, one of there, wherever.

This here ‘Union’ is going down. It seems so because there is not a person in authority openly doing anything about our problems with maintaining it.

How did the former Czechoslovakia do it? It seems that it went relatively smooth and peaceful for them.
