We’d welcome them to Pennsylvania. We’d gladly give Philadelphia to Maryland as compensation.
The Eastern shore used to propose withdrawal from the rest of the state, every legislature.
And Western New York!
I am in The Peoples Republic of Montgomery County...perhaps I can apply for citizenship there.
Unfortunately, 4 more years and then I’m out of this shxt hole state.
I live in WV next to Garrett county MD (most westerly) it is more like WV than MD, the Walmart in Oakland sells much more WVU stuff than UM stuff.
The state house is totally dominated by Dems. For example, in the senate Democrats hold 35 of the 47 seats (74%). The House of Delegates and the governorship are also controlled by Dems.
Maryland, the so-called Free State, is anything but. Its a liberal’s paradise.
Howard county west of western Baltimore county was solid Republican up till early 2000s , Kerry won in 2004 was the start of Dem rule. This is due to housing development, immigration and massive invasion.
And they are still wiping out multiple forests to build many more house developments here. Traffic is hell, schools crowded, taxes go up and up.
This shows a Balkininized citizenry is easily ruled even if they have the vote. By having so many new people here all different cultures they dont think of opposing even more.
Also in the 1990s Roscoe Bartlet was the house rep(Howard county) , and he was really conservative.
Now they got Elj Cummings,
Nancy Pelousy is a product of Baltimore’s Democrat/Mafia government, headed by her shady father for a time. Enough said.
Instead of "Western Maryland wants to secede, I wonder why?" they were:
"Western Maryland wants to secede, they must all be racist."
Sometimes the humor writes itself.
Same thing in NJ. Except it’s a bit easier, excise the cities like a malignancy and we can be back on the path to liberty.
Eastern Shore of Maryland was very beautiful 20 years ago.
There. I fixed it.
I think I’m going to support this! :-)
Maryland “Freak State” PING!
No way would Congress make them into a state, but with the permission of the state and federal governments they might be able to join Pennsylvania or West Virginia.
But the problem with these things is that most of the tax money comes from the suburban areas, so that taxes may actually go up for Western Marylanders if the state is broken up.
FWIW, The colonial charter defined the colony's borders before the land had been very well explored. Depending on which branch of the Potomac one considered, Maryland could have had a very different shape.
Damn near everyone I know is moving out of Maryland when they retire. I have 6.5 years left... unfortunately. I told my kids that I had some advice for them... 1) learn to cook. 2) learn to fix your own car. 3) exercise your second amendment rights. 4) move to a red state.
