Red states building a nation within a nation

Said every tyrant ever. Conservatives have no intention of leaving people alone.

Says one of the form's leading face diaper and jab Nazis.

Says ther nose picker who gets his "news" from MSLSD, HuffingluePost, and Raw Sewage.

When's Ttump going to give his next pathetic whining "I've been wronged" rant at some right wing hate fest?

The billionaire born with a siver spoon is his mouth is the "victim". What a joke.

Conservatives think they can make America look like a Hallmark movie.

It's something to shoot for. Having people come here from all over the world was based on assimilation. The American dream. Assimilation is a good pathway to that. Then the Progs said enough of that. We say Diversity. Now we are fracturing.

Orange man owns you, loser.

 

[mudwhistle]

Yea, that’s why people are fleeing Dem run shit holes to go to Red States.

I don't understand why so many Blue Staters go to Montana to pet Buffaloes.

$25 per hour is next to nothing. That's the way it is. For that one needs to live with their parents until the age of 40.

What exactly is the american dream? I was born in america and have yet to have it defined.

 

[TheParser]

A super serious topic.

Yes, in the coming decades, you (not I, who am 85!) will see a de facto separation of liberals and conservatives.

This current unpleasantness cannot keep going on.

An amicable divorce is the only solution.

Let's admit it: The experiment called the United States of America has failed.

A good summary of the movement to create a sub-culture (or sub-country really) within America by the right. Basically its another assault by the red states to suppress the rights of Americans within their state borders.. last time being Jim Crow. Everything old is new again, or history repeats itself if you prefer.

"It's not at the level of Jim Crow, or certainly the difference between slave states and free states, but the differences are major," says Jake Grumbach, a University of Washington political scientist who studies divergence among the states. And like Kettl, Grumbach believes the economic and political differences between the red and blue states are on track to only widen.

Seen as a whole, the red states' drive to set their own rules, while blocking any interference from either blue-leaning local governments or a Democratic-controlled federal government, represents the broadest effort to carve out a separate sphere of influence since the fierce resistance to reconstruction across the South after the Civil War that ultimately led to Jim Crow segregation, Kettl believes. In some respects, he argues, red states are displaying a greater separatist impulse today than the South did then.

For now, Kettl sees the initial red state Republican goal primarily as consolidating these new rules and blocking any interference -- what he calls "an effort to build very high castle walls with a very deep moat." But like Grumbach and other experts on state policy, Kettl is dubious that Republicans will settle for imposing their values solely on the states now under their control. As the red states pursue a more consistent and coordinated course, Kettl predicts that Republicans will "try to impose [this] policy on the nation as a whole" if they achieve the federal power to do so.

Blue states such as California, New York, Illinois and Colorado have moved forcefully over the past two years to expand many of the liberties now under siege in the red states. But congressional Republicans while in the minority have already introduced proposals that would apply the red state rules across the entire nation on many of these same issues. The new social order red states are now sketching behind their "castle" walls may offer the best preview of what Republicans will try to impose on all states the next time they achieve unified control of the White House and Congress in Washington.

CNN!

Lunatic clickbait for deranged Democrat bigots.

 

[MinTrut]

Are they going to call it CHAZ or CHOP?

^ Thread win.

2004?

If you have more recent data, post it. I am sure things have not changed much.

 

[theHawk]

That's not happening in as large numbers as you'd like. And once red states ban abortion and other rights, people will be leaving.

Riiight, because everyone wants an abortion. We’ll be happy to see the pro-aborts leave our states.

 

[Friends]

This lie via purposefully skewed statistical jigging gets debubked at least 3-4 times a year.....go away, fool.

When has it been debunked? How?

Large amount of indigestible word salad
