the fact that someone with dementia is running for president and is doing this good is in itself a rebuttal of democracy
Its because they live in a bubble
Had a conversation with a boomer coworker recently. He insisted that VA will go red again because "leftists always overextend"
Which is true, but nonwhite voters don't care about that
My boomer dad finally accepted that VA, the land of his family for centuries, is gone
There will be no "redlash" from Latinos and blaqs
He also accepted the US will balkanize
No, he’s not a WN 1.0 wignat.
That's why the white vote is so key to swing states, it's because "moderate" (read: unengaged) whites vote for whoever convinces them in the moment. They don't have deeper principles and could go either way
Not so with minorities or conservative whites, who are consistent in their sides
I think the only solution is seperation
The first experiment would be Frederick County
Yeah, I mean, you're about to get me started on how democracy is illegitimate to begin with and how this is all bullshit anyway lol
Its on the border of WV
Has historical ties
My thoughts are that it's a perfect example of why democracy, even the representative republican sort of democracy, is illegitimate
Even in a system like ours that tries to negate majoritarianism, entire states are still ruined by a few counties with 51% of the population in them
But I hope they go through with it, it will shake things up and help normalize the idea that the current state borders are impermenant and can/should be changed
Secession is on track to become a mainstream idea some day. You just need enough politically engaged people to accept that people in this country are at odds because of irreconcilable differences in values and being
So it would be a very good thing for the Virginias to do this
It helps us more than it helps the left, even if it isn't an immediate solution to the problem.
But I think it will one day be the only real alternative to a boogaloo
You might get both but lets hope not
oh no
der sperger
Yeah, it's like:
>no secession = 100% chance of eventual boogaloo
>secession = 50% chance
Secession allows the creation of a young, easily influenceable nation if done at a federal level. If that happened, we should immediately try to get into the government and redefine the nation
divide by 8
Yeah, you could easily get 8 new countries out of the CONUS
Let Alaska and Hawaii be their own nation states.
Alaska would be nearly as powerful as Canada
Because of resources
hot take, give Alaska back to Russia
No
Yes
I’d love to live there
No
