Look At Me , I'm A Secessionist - Who Knew?

December 14th and the Electoral College votes. We appear to have stopped a coup.

I say we celebrate. Let's give every state a free pass to secede. Kinda like Monopoly. Just go!

And while we're at it, let's give every state that secedes an assurance that there will be no penalties for seceding.

Have I totally lost it? I think not. I'm trying to save it - the United States. Yep, in order to save this puppy, we must let every state that wants to leave simply leave.

Why, you ask? Because we came dangerously close to losing our country in the last 4 years and, had Trump won this election, we would have lost it forever.

Politically, I fear fascism more than just about anything else. Intellectually, I know you can lead a horse to water, but you can't make it drink.

We've been trying to make the CSA horses drink from day 1 - even before there was a CSA. It hasn't worked. Hell, they even rebelled and we had to fight an extremely bloody war.

Let them go now before they start another bloody civil war or pull off a successful coup. Let them go!

Read these. Learn a little history.

In the last 20 years we've had 2 Presidents chosen by the Electoral College. Yeah, so much for democracy. Bush destroyed our economy and Trump almost destroyed our government.

If the people we elected had been sworn in as President, our history would've been radically different.

I think we would've missed 9/11, the Great Recession and a fascist coup. I think hundreds of thousands of us may have survived this pandemic. I don't think we would've seen the rise of armed white supremacists in our communities.

Do you think the North really won the Civil War? Is that why so many of our military bases are named after CSA generals?

I've had enough of massive resistance to democracy. Have you?

Let them go. Without them we could fix our Constitution. We could get rid of the Electoral College. We could pass the Equal Rights Amendment. We could pass fair labor laws.

I'm practically giddy at the thought of it.

And then there's the matter of treason. The Republican Party has become the party of hate, crime and treason.

The Republican Party is not going to reform. If we let states secede, we will effectively get rid of the most egregious members of the Republican Party.

Imagine our lawmakers working on our behalf and trying to actually fix problems.
