11. Can Blue states secede

Wed Nov 6, 2024, 07:15 AM

Nov 6

idiot red states always threaten that. Maybe blue states should give it a try. How else will the freedoms and opportunities America promised be maintained? I'm sorry for the people who fought so hard to keep the United States a free counrty using the Constitutuion of The U.S.A. as its roadmap.
The criminals have thwarted and perverted the principles and intent of this country. The people who will pay the hardest are women, minorities, and LGBTQ+, and all of us who are woke. But if this criminal band takes power, we are all losing our country, and no matter if we support the criminals or defy them, we will lose everything we worked to have, from our loved ones to our property, to our freedom.

It makes sense to me to separate from the ruins and try to establish a country based on American ideals.

Obviously, I'm heart broken.
