The Blue State Dilema

Or The Plight of the Liberal to Save The Planet

H/T Mustang

Excerpt..

According to Nathan Newman, a leftist hack who teaches criminal justice and sociology at CUNY, America’s blue states have a good reason to secede from the Union.  Essentially, Mr. Newman’s justifications include:

 

• The American political system tilts money and power to smaller and more conservative states, which undermines the interests of the majority of the population.
• A minority of the nation’s population controlled the U.S. Senate for the past six years, and along with a minority-elected president, packed the Supreme Court with a supermajority of Republican justices.
• Our constitution favors red states, denies human rights to people living in blue states, and undermines local policy innovations.
• Donald Trump dismissed New York’s request for ventilators, giving preference to red states, such as Nebraska and Montana.
• Trump and Republicans ignored the wildfires that raged up and down the left coast because California didn’t support the Trump candidacy in 2016.
• Blue states send more taxes to the federal government than they receive back in public services.
• Our political system converts right-wing bias in political power into economic transfers that undermine blue states.
• White supremacy is embedded in US policy.
• Six million “undocumented” aliens living in blue states exist in fear of that ICE knocking on their doors.

 

Newman notes that none of this is accidental; it’s built into the Constitutional fabric of our nation, proved he claims by the Electoral College rather than popular election of the president.  Worse, he argues, the U.S. Senate is an even greater affront to democracy because California has 68 times the population of Wyoming, and yet Wyoming is equal to California in senate voting power.  Not only that, but the senate’s filibuster power gives 41 senators, representing 11% of the population, power to prevent any bill from coming to a vote.

 

Newman reminds his readers that the first clamor for secession didn’t come from the southern states; it came from abolitionist William Lloyd Garrison, who burned a copy of the U.S. Constitution in 1854 and demanded the dissolution of the Union.

 

In any case, secession isn’t extreme — if one considers the “millions of undocumented families” fearing forcible separation by the federal government.  Newman thinks that secession would allow millions of communists, like him, to abandon their red states and move to blue states where finally, they could create a utopia that works for ... well, communists.  And, the blue states could keep their own money, not having to share it with the federal government.  Plus, the blue states could raise taxes through the roof to improve that Utopia, and no one would complain.  They could set up their own trade policies, create their own foreign policies, and eventually force the United States into a Soviet-style republic ... along democratic lines, of course.

I agree with Mr Newman's assertions.  Right Wing people are not only so dangerous that they will put an end to America, but to the entire planet if allowed any more power at all.

The only solution is for our liberal friends to concentrate their populations in states already friendly and working to practice the progressive mantras.  There simply isn't enough time to try to overcome the red states and somehow educate and transform these right wing knuckle dragging planet destroyers.

AOC, amazing genius and formidable a force that she is,  cannot save us by herself.  We must help.

Grab yourselves and your friends, your babies and their babies, and all their old ladies and secede as many states as you can into this planet saving effort before it's too late.

Don't stand by and allow Rachel Maddow to keep crying like this. Seeing this wonderful woman cry is like watching massive terrorist attacks over and over.  Without end.
