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
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
Alaska belongs to the US
Alaska is a beautiful place
I don’t want saggy 60 year old slav colonists
Lmao jk
Make CONUS into New England, the Atlantic South, the Heartland (Midwest), the Northern Range (north between Midwest and PNW), Cascadia (PNW), El Norte (mid southwest near Mexican border), and the Republic of California. NorCal can just be part of Cascadia
That makes seven, plus Alaska and Hawaii as their own nation states
Can some states form a confederation?
And where does Pennsylvania fall into?
Yeah, I would say dissolve the current US Federal government and give each of these regions their own federal govt, then they can form alliances as they please
So the Heartland would probably ally with Atlantic South and Northern Range for example
Pennsylvania is a tough one. West PA is more of a Midwestern type of area but east PA is practically NY
No reason existing state borders have to be the same either.
