The problem with the "break up the US and let red states do their own thing" take I keep seeing is that a plurality of Black Americans live in red states. Trans people live in red states. Indigenous people live in red states. Disabled people live in red states.
Your plan for them is...what exactly?

B: those groups you named aren't monoliths and each of them contain republican members.
C: it's not even worth arguing about because it's a dumb idea for multiple reasons.
but they can make a show of it and scare the shit out of them, driving them into worse conditions.
plus, they prefer A-A and cheaper, captive 'prisoners with jobs'
Kinda like splitting up the house and kids in a divorce.
@mommunism.bsky.social 😭😭😭
Consider the fact that an equal number of people didn't even bother to vote.
Compare and contrast these two wide swaths of the population and get back to me.

(Similar for City of Dallas, etc.)
They also have silicon valley (which the folks with the money there can be seen alongside Trump frequently)
The gangrene is in every part of the body if that is the analogy we are going with.
Seriously, look it up and actually try to comprehend what it took.
This is a discussion that should be being had. What WOULD it take?
Do I get to pick which state? Houses in Texas are cheaper and nicer than mine, but I think NY and CA mine would cost even more.
Over 6 million people in California voted for Trump. Over 3 million people in New York voted for Trump. Over 2 million people in Illinois voted for Trump. Need I go on?
If secession were to happen, it would NOT be a clean one!
You know, I'm starting to see why this is a bad idea...
Like, okay, you save the ones that are in Alabama today. What about in a year when there are more? What about, say, the straight women who'd suffer regardless? It's an untenable concept with even a few seconds of thought.
I’ve lived in Texas for almost a decade and still have been unable to obtain a permanent handicap parking placard something I had previously in Virginia for years. And every disability I have has gotten more severe. And that’s just one example
Since kids generally do not get to decide where they live.
And also, everybody deserves human rights. Everybody.
I figure if a single mother from South America can make it to our southern border with her baby a lot of us can do it on the same continent.
Sadly not everyone can.
This is one that says you don't even have to be Jewish to apply
someone once said something about hanging together or hanging separately
This is why the Badministration wants to take the whole country to Handmaiden’s Taleland.
--actual belief I have heard from many, many liberals
Our state literally passed a constitutional amendment to end gerrymandering. Our republican controlled legislature just submitted illegal map after illegal map until the clock ran out and we got stuck with the previous gerrymandered map for another 10 years.
Northern states 2020s: omg why can't we just be apart of Canada and let Jesusistan do its own thing.
Spoken like someone who has never moved.
We just made a move to Oklahoma because cost of living is cheaper here over Texas. Lost half my household income, still cost us $8k to move. And that was without a lease.
I didn't ask them if I could move. I just did.

Strong states rights by itself is just more fascism
Now we don’t.
Staying in the union won’t protect folks. It actually undermines our ability to protect them.
I only hope this will be an option still open this year
I am trans and thus am especially targeted.
The phrase goes : rescue yourself before trying to rescue others.
My healthcare is under direct attack. My body will literally fall apart without healthcare.
As if Donald Trump wasn’t a product of New York City culture
Federalism is good as a hedge against disaster but this kind of thing from the left is often just dressed-up accelerationism
And if you have the resources to try, please don’t!
And it ignores how many fascists are from blue states, like Trump (NY) and the tech giants (CA).
It would just result in violence.
Trump genuinely won in the south and flyover states. He won by a massive margin. People down here, they want Gilead. Let them have it. Make a safe place up north for those who don't.

Gerrymandering & vote suppression!
I’m in Georgia, ground zero for vote suppression. Brian Kemp is as corrupt as they get!

Democrats abandoned the party after Obama, republicans ignore our constitutional amendment to stop gerrymandering, and now these people are like “you’re from Ohio you deserve what you get”
Personally, my 'plan' isn't to leave Red States to their own devices. Nono, they're terrorists no matter what state they live in. Rather, I advocate for rounding them all up and (1/)
And we're finally rid of them. (6/6)
