    my state would secede than a constitutional convention being successful

    that’s both our only hope and the mostly likely avenue of attack since we’re on track be only 3 states away (at best) from republican control in 2026.

    the divide between the republican and democrat states is going to mirror the presidential election electoral college if the democrats don’t get their act together and i’m pessimistic that they will since the party’s leadership continues to insist that they lost because they went too woke and doubled down when they blocked aoc from the oversight committee position a couple of days ago.

      Oh the democrats did not learn a goddamn thing from 2016 let alone 2024.

      I know it sounds completely crazy, and it is completely crazy, but I think there’s a damn good chance my state will secede if Canada shuts off our electric. Especially if they do that in the winter. I now have it on my utterly batshit insane what could go wrong 2025 bingo card.

      The other thing that might make us secede is if they try fucking with our state constitutional right to abortion. If both happen, I think we will secede. Maybe join Quebec or maybe become our own spot of Canada or maybe be fully independent like we were before the United States existed.

        that’s not crazy at all relative to the TRULY crazy part: democrat voters can see what they did to aoc and what the leadership is saying about going too woke (among MANY other things); but they’re still going to vote for them anyways in 2028.

        i think the bitterest pill to swallow is that it’s going to work because the leadership (ie pelosi) is doing everything in their power to prevent the status quo from changing and will take all the blame with them when they finally retire next year or the year after that so that the new party leadership can look squeaky clean to their voters.
