    works.

    *worked

    everyone needs to stop assuming that anything regarding individual freedom is going to “work” the same way that they’ve grown accustomed to, moving forward

      The East/West Coast should hold an emergency election and just fucking annex themselves from the red states. Trump can rule the USoChristianTalibanistan. Offer asylum to all the immigrants so they have no-one to work the farms and the locals have to work in forced labor camps. I give Talibanistan 6 months before they collapse.

        The problem is that the division isn’t east/west or north/south, or really geographical… it’s rural/urban. Look at electoral maps of states broken down by district to understand what I mean.

        There’s no way to divide it without there being a significant movement in populations and demographics so that it is more geographically divided. Which seems literally impossible.

          This is it exactly. Land versus population. The Republican strategy has fully paid off. I’m in a blue island in an extremely red state.

          Arm yourselves.

      Thank you. I think it’s just going to be an infuriating two months just hearing people talk about shit as if things are going to continue as they have been.

      I don’t think they grasp what authoritarianism means.
