This is how “town” or “school” bullies operate. They know that the only way you can really stop them is to ramp it up and kill them. And since everyone is civilized, nobody will do that, so they have free reign.
This will get worse and worse until we end up, quite literally, like Venezuela or Nazi Germany. It is inevitable unless the civilized perform a quite uncivilized act. And since it is nationwide, it would not be a single act.
But that will not happen, which makes me happy that I am old. I will probably not live to see this come to its inevitable full fruition.
It will ramp up significantly when Trump leaves office, no matter who replaces him. Be it 2021 or 2025.
If Colorado wants to essentially forfeit its EV, that’s its right - but if I were a CO voter I’d certainly object to the self-disenfranchisement of the state.
At some point the Constitutional guarantee of a republican form of government comes into play. IMO California is already well over the line with how corrupt its elections are.
