I've seen this story before - it doesn't end well.

If the 2020 presidential election proves to be close, the radical Left has whipped themselves into a frenzy believing that President Trump will engineer a coup – an illegal seizure of power to contort our Democratic and election processes. Hmmm. Aren’t they the ones who’ve been attempting this for the last four years? Just recently, the Left published a 38-page guidebook, Stopping the Coup: The 2020 Guide. The guidebook states that, “If the Right is prepared to steal the election, then we must be prepared to disrupt the status quo and resist.
As they have already amply proclaimed and exhibited, the Left wishes to fundamentally remake America, rewrite history, pack the Supreme Court, tear down statues, defund police departments, diminish the military, and abolish the Electoral College.
Out With Extremists
Those in the middle and on the Right do not agree with what the Left seeks or espouses. Why do we, merely ordinary citizens, grapple with what a deranged fringe of our society believes is vital? We are Americans.
We accept that the history of America was not fair for everyone. Some people experienced grave injustice, as have some to this day. We also acknowledge that in the annals of world history, for most people, most of the time what has transpired in America has been more beneficial than what has occurred everywhere else.
We accept our history, and what is transpiring in the present. Many of us wrestle with ways in which society can be more fair and inclusive. We don’t need extremists who ‘know’ exactly how America ought to be reshaped and are eager to jam their dogma and extremism down our throats.
Leave Quietly
To extremists, you need to depart our shores. No kidding. If you are that upset with the deal you have in America, find another country. No one is stopping you from leaving. Pool your resources and buy a section of Guatemala, Nicaragua, Honduras, someplace else in South America, or Eastern Europe.
Leave as soon as you can, because you are never going to find solace here. Multi-millions of others feel like we do. Your ideas are not widely popular. They are not conducive to a democracy, a representative democracy, or a republic. You trade in manipulation, intimidation, and violence. You justify your behavior, believing you have a sacrosanct right to impose your will on others. You are no better than any of the dictators or fascists in history.
We are never going to relent to your demands. We are never going to embrace your twisted version of America. We are never going to concede to your attempted regime of oppressive political correctness.
We are never going to respect anybody who wears a ski mask to do his business downtown after dark with the most vulnerable people they can find. We are never going to raise our fists in salute to your sordid organizations.
You’ll Raise The Funds
In your quest to start another country, many donors will be available. The 279+ companies who’ve already knuckled under to Black Lives Matter, and the financiers of Antifa, such as George Soros (and his hundreds of organizations intentionally named to sound like the opposite of what they actually seek) can offer start-up funding.
You can apply to the World Bank. You can appeal to the United Nations. You can undertake all of the activities of a developing country.
Do so, because you will not gain a foothold here. The 330 million people you fervently wish to rule will not put up with the one million of you, if there are that many, who seek to tear down our nation. You will lose, if you keep at this, in untold ways. The president, or any president, might invoke the Insurrection Act or do whatever is required to vanquish you. When the U.S. military goes after you, they will do so with full force.
You will be in combat with a foe that can overwhelm you, in every city, everywhere, within a day. You will be detained, tried, and likely convicted for treason. The penalty for treason is severe, as it should be.
Your New Country Will Face Perils
In forming your own country, you will face immediate perils. Your own ‘woke’ people will rebel as you restrict free speech and seek to enforce language that follows narrow codes based on what you demand. You do not believe in the rule of law; you resort to mob rule. You rely on slogans, hysteria, and impulsive behavior to get things done. As such, your country will fail within three or four years, but you’re welcome to experience that for yourselves. Your venture will be a footnote in history as so many other groups have been relegated. However, you are free to try.
Nations don't form easily, and keeping them intact for hundreds of years is no small feat. We've got a good thing going in the United States for the vast majority of our citizens and they know it. You are not going to undo what they have. Relocate sooner rather than later, or your next residence is likely to be a prison cell.
The secession of few blue states would relieve the political pressure everywhere, both blue and red.
The leftists want us to be their tax slaves.
Yup. When you get Utopia up and running and you find work, send us a postcard. LOL!
So far all 4 replies are GOLDEN!
Uh, no.
Most of the land in the world is spoken for, and the countries owning this or that acreage are not going to let anyone set up a new country on it. Hell, hippies couldn’t even set up a country on the Thames Estuary forts (Sealandia).

It would be NICE if there were some place we could exile violent malcontents and allow them to build in a nation of their own, though.
Like my Grampappy used to say “ if you don’t like it here there’s a boat leaving every day.” I miss him.
He's not using it anymore.
The protest is also fueled by trained and paid agitators who aren't desirous of correcting the country's ills. They want to destroy America. They are paid by hostile foreign governments and hostile domestic fat, diseased, ugly billionaires.
"Change" was never a part of the equation.
I like this idea better than state secession.
Yep. Actually just a few cities and surrounding areas.
In their utopia, no one will have to work. They will all live off “the government”. Let Soros and Gates, and Bezos and Zuckerberg support them.
Now this pops up on the USAA log in page:
“USAA making a 3 year, $50 million commitment to advance racial equality
In order to fulfill our commitment to help the military community achieve financial security, USAA is compelled to make significant and lasting impact with a three-year, $50 million pledge.”
Do these people have ZERO clue how much money has been spent since CRA 64 in a quest for ‘equality’? Special treatment is NOT equal treatment. Even I can figure that out.
So, if everything is ‘free’, why would they need to tax folks more that make over $400K? What do they need money for? Free’s free right? LOL!
Respectfully disagree. The moment any secession is finalized, the marxists will begin the invasion and destruction of their immediate neighbors and begin planning the destruction of the new free US. Communists never stop conquering, ruining, and killing. Don’t fall for the go our separate ways scam.
If the Marxists are dead, there will be no invasion
If they were able to set up their “ideal” country, within a yr they would be fighting.
I am telling everyone here, these people are not happy people. They are miserable and angry.
They are pitiful and should have an island of their own
I would donate to this. I would love for the socialists to leave! I would wish them all the best, as long as they are now able to stop trying to force everyone else to their long failed failure.
But they would never accept this. At least not those at the top of their pyramid who machinate how to bring marxism to everywhere. The morons at the bottom would probably happily go.
The reason they would never accept just leaving is because their ideas cannot succeed without sucking in the unwilling. Socialism in particular cannot exist next to capitalism and societies with liberty and private property rights. They can’t compete. Their people have no motivation to excel, or even be productive. They know damned well that if their people had some border to cross to get too, they’d have to build a wall to stop the exodus. And the same goes for authoritarian/totalitarian social control (justice?). It sounds good, but once implemented and isolated, it corrodes into full fascism.
I've seen this story before - it doesn't end well.
Give them Sinai. Build it according to their green new deal specifications. Then see how long their society lasts. Make it an international city and move the UN there.
