They mean escape Commie RED rule.
If the state legislatures (or the people acting as their own legislatures) go along with this, bare majorities in the Congress can make this happen.
I like it! California could become just a narrow strip of land from SF to LA.
If they abandon the electoral college, I expect to see whole states declaring independence.
In Virginia, the newly elected Democratic majoritys progressive communist/totalitarian legislation ...
Ft. Sumter 2.0???
I guess I dont understand what is the big fear with some necessary re-configuring of some state boundaries?
Before most of these places became states they were just territories that had their boundaries shifted all over the place, and it didn’t kill anyone.
This is a terrific example of the reasons for succession! https://wham1180.iheart.com/content/2020-02-21-lonsberry-nyc-we-dont-want-your-crap/
Who can we give Memphis to?
Running isn’t the answer. It’ll buy you some time, sure. See Texas.They’ll just infiltrate and take over. Fighting is the answer.
Pretty sure if you eject the Portland megaplex to Washington State, you cure most of the issue there. Then adopt most of the northern counties of California.
The relationship between Virginia and West (by Gawd) Virginia
has always been a little strained.
Tennessee could use a few counties NE Bristol
I don’t know what’s going to happen but we cannot peacefully coexist with people who threaten our freedom, safety, prosperity and our American way of life.
Something’s got to give.
If people are free to identify as animal, vegetable, or mineral, they should be free to change the state boundaries to reflect where they want to live.
The authors of the Constitution never meant for a handful of heavily populated counties to control the fate of the whole country. Split eastern and western Washington, and western Pennsylvania from Philadelphia, rural Minnesota from Minn/St Paul, and split California into three states from about 25 miles north of San Francisco go 75 miles inland down to about 50 miles south of Los Angeles and north and east California.
There would be much to be gained for the Republican Party for conservative areas of Oregon, California, Virginia, Illinois and Washington State to form their own Republican dominated states. That can easily be done with a law that permits conservative areas to form states but prohibits liberal urban areas from breaking off and forming states.
We do not need the states of Houston, San Antonio, New Orleans, Atlanta, Austin, Memphis, Charlotte, Cleveland or Milwaukee.
That would be too many states and too many Democrat Senators.
VEXIT needs to separate northern Virginia from the real Virginia. Just attaching the western counties to West Virginia won’t fix anything for the rest of us.
I could see these plans embraced by everyone. I fully understand the conservative desire to not be part of a liberal state. But from the liberal view, they should be happy to get rid of deplorable types from their states, and be free to create their liberal Utopia with no.interference.
