We're not changing your fucking way of life. The world is changing and you lack the strength and resilience to adapt. (West Virginians apparently only ever know how to mine coal, even though coal wasn't killed by liberals but by natural fucking gas)

You have extremely disproportionate representation. The vote of someone in Wyoming or Iowa is at least 100x as impactful as a vote from someone in California or Texas. You're not meant to dictate how this country is run because you're a fucking tiny part of it. Liberal states don't even fucking want anything from you anyways, this isn't 1860 where we're trying to stop you from having slaves, there is literally nothing about your shitty, backwards ass impoverished states we want to change, we just want to stop being subject to the retardation of the representatives you fucks send to run our country. It's impossible to do anything when the Senate is full of corporate bootlickers disguised as hicks who don't believe in government.

I don't want to be united either. I'm tired of a few people in a lot of barely populated states being given free reign to decide how fucking California and New York are run. We'd both be much better off as separate countries. One liberal social democracy and one Christian Theocratic Ethnostate.

Also, the way the Senate works was nothing more than a compromise to get slave states into the nascent union back when the constitution was drafted. That was its only purpose. The founders didn't want minority rule, but there was no way the South was going to join without being given disproportionate power.

California and New York are shit holes like West Virginia

Hope this helps

Yea I mean you couldn’t pay me personally to live in NY or CA

But then again, that’s just those cities, I don’t demonize big cities being that I live in the 5th biggest in the country

There’s nothing wrong with big cities in general. But there’s a decent amount wrong with NY and CA (really LA) in my opinion

Cope

This sentence is spoken universally by one of two people:

1. Those who have never been to or lived in these places.

2. Those who can't afford to live there.

These places are expensive as fuck because they are tremendously powerful economic engines, and because everyone wants to live there.

I grew up in suburban Northern California and it was literal paradise. I went to college in Orange County, CA, and lived in Newport Beach. Also literal paradise. By nearly every metric... life expectancy, quality of education, happiness, physical fitness, obesity, income, culture... liberal states, especially California, just trounce the rest of the country.

And that's all beside the fact that California is... or I guess, used to be, one of the most naturally beautiful and hospitable places on Earth. I grew up in an idyllic valley surrounded by mountains that kept all the storms out, warm and sunny but with a cool, gentle delta breeze every evening. I could drive an hour and a half east and be in Lake Tahoe or skiing the high Sierras, an hour and a half west and be at the ocean, 3 hours south and be in Yosemite.

Sorry you're jealous of probably the least shithole place on Earth except maybe Japan or Switzerland. Yes, it could be run a lot better, but so could the rest of the US.

Nov 2024, which will be somewhat like Nov 1860.

I dunno, I don’t think we will have another event as bad as Jan 6th

So many people on both sides of the isle overlook the fact that Jan 6th was 100% civic mismanagement. You had a crowd of tens of thousands of potential protestors, and a tiny handful of police. This is why whoever was in charge of event security was fired as a result

“But the police were letting protestors in!”

- in my opinion this conspiracy theory formed out of simple human self-preservation. If you are a single, lone, police officer holding a metal fence barricade against a crowd of thousands of people, you have 2 choices: 1. Stand aside and let them in or 2. Be possibly trampled to death holding them back

It would be the same if you rather than sending dozens of police with tear gas and riot shields to stop the riots in Portland, and instead sent 3 cops. What would those 3 cops do to not get seriously hurt? Let the riot go right past them

As long as you have an appropriate ratio of security to any event, it is unlikely that the event can get out of hand. Plan better, plan accordingly

Loon thinks the 17th Amendment is being repealed before 2024.
