It’s not that I don’t recognize there are good people there worthy of assistance. It’s that I doubt our ability to help them. The fascist powers there are too entrenched to uproot. We need to focus on the places the battle is winnable first. Then if we succeed we can turn to the South.

    Fascism is a cancer. If you don't cut off the necrotic, metastisized flesh, it will infect and kill the whole host.

    I'd rather blue states direct their tax dollars into programs to help political refugees escape red states. Red states are welcome to do the same and use their own funds to get the fascists out of here. They can frame it as "Christian refugees", idgaf as long as it removes the cancer

    At this point, I support just dissolving the US completely. The Constitution you learned about in school is dead and buried, and John Roberts killed it. Every four years we now hold an election for national dictator. This nation just isn't worth saving. It had a good run, but frankly, we can do better. We can write far better constitutions than what the Founding Fathers managed. We have a lot more experience and a lot more examples to draw from.

    I support granting all 50 states independence. Then they can come back together into whatever new nation or nations they want to form. The US as a functioning democracy no longer exists. We're just playing pretend that we still live in the same nation.
