“They assassinated our nice guy who actually talked to them peacefully debating ideas,”

They? Wow, they're not even pretending to be tangential to the truth anymore.

    Why, did America cheat on you with the local gym manager?

    It’s ridiculous when you can’t even advocate for school children to be murdered anymore.

    You mean the productive, smart states should finally shed the Republican rightwing hellholes?

    Archived link to article.

    So what does "a peaceful national divorce" entail? Because that's article doesn't really elaborate on it.

    Do they want to relocate anyone they deem to be the enemy to the West Coast and then 'build a wall' down the Rockies? That sounds closest to a national divorce to me. But I suspect their version would involve 'removing' people they dislike while ceding no territory.

    End result is probably going to turn coastal cities on the west coast into "autonomous republics" that are politically detached to the rest of the country.

    Any rationale for why this one journalists death warrants civil war when the deaths of so many others don't seem to matter or nah?

    Never. Handing over innocent people to the new confederacy would be a Trump-level betrayal.

    I want the brainless right driven from power, never to return. Anything less is cowardice.

    Pro tip: You divorce "the left" and Magats are still going to be killing Magats. That's not going to solve your problem. LOL.

    She can die.

    Good grief, how is it that she is now a side thought in my’this entire thing is off the rails’???? Like… ugh. The window has shifted so much it’s wild.

  • I'm fine with it.

    The Experiment is over, but the thing about experiments is you're supposed to take what you learned from it and do another.

    This is tangential at best but I’ve seen so many images of the event. There are so many “buff tough guys” there with their reflective sunglasses, their macho bouncer/“don’t mess with me” stance who clearly were “security”. Were they just hired on spec? For a figure as controversial and incendiary, and wealthy - he could have had some top tier security and really should have. Yet for all the polo-busting biceps I’ve seen, I’m not sure anyone should be glowing with pride cashing that paycheck.

    She keeps saying this but how would it even work? No state is 100% red or 100% blue and moving millions of people around is never going to work.

    IMO balkanization is inevitable but a clean cut "national divorce" is wishful thinking, it's going to get messy but I could be wrong.
