I hope Rush Limbaugh is correct!
Rarely do I hope that Rush Limbaugh is right on anything; but in his broadcast yesterday he made the statement that he thinks that the 18 states who have filed suit with the SCOTUS to contest the election results of 2020 was the first step toward secession, I hope that he is proven correct.
Like a bad marriage where neither spouse wants to throw in the towel with the results being a downward spiral that makes both of them miserable, we have more than reached that point where it is long past time to end the dysfunction and misery. To continue to hold on will result in just more torment and despair. It has become obvious that there is no way to find accommodation with Red State Republicans when they have an entirely separate reality from us.
I’m way past arguing who’s right and who’s wrong, what set of facts are truth and which are illusion. It’s useless and a waste of time to try to reason with people who deny science and logic and who’s daily goal is to stick it to the rest of us. I say let them go and don’t let the door hit them in the ass on the way out! In the immortal words of Dylan, “Then time will tell who has fell and who’s been left behind when you go your way and I go mine”. I don’t love you anymore and I can no longer live with you. As a matter of fact I can’t stand to you see your face (Rolling Stones).
With the brandishing of firearms and the constant threat of violence because they did not get their way, we need to be honest that the relationship has now gone beyond dysfunction and is now abusive. We must establish two households, so it is past time for both of us to move on.
Now is the time for us all to see the mediator and arrive at a mutual agreement and a split of property. A good place to start is you can keep the 18 states who have filed this action (see list below) while we get New England, New York, New Jersey, Delaware, Maryland, Virginia, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Washington, Oregon, California, Nevada, New Mexico, Colorado, DC, Puerto Rico and Hawaii.
You get Texas, Missouri, Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Indiana, Kansas, Louisiana, Mississippi, Montana, Nebraska, North Dakota, Oklahoma, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Utah and West Virginia.
The remaining states can decide for themselves as to which household they want to live in.
You want Trump as your president then by all means he’s entirely yours. Along with him you can have the rest of the Republican leadership. You want autocracy and a trickle down economy it’s all yours. You want your allies to be dictatorships such as Russia, Turkey and North Korea it’s all yours. You want a private for profit healthcare system it’s all yours. If you want a one party system it’s all yours.
We prefer Biden for the next four years. We prefer to start with the Democratic leadership.. We prefer democracy with one person one vote and the elimination of the electoral college. We prefer a bottom up economy with opportunity and minimum living standards for all. We prefer our traditional allies such as Germany, England and France. We prefer a public not for profit healthcare system. We prefer a two party system and will form a second political party that will probably be to the left of the present Democratic party.
It is long past time to end this dysfunctional and abusive relationship and to coexist in two separate houses. Best of luck to all of you!

It's about time the pendulum swings the other way. tRump and the Republican party have done enough damage.
relocated to NC and people could keep the job if willing to relocate - I know a few people who moved there from here. President Obama did win it once!
Oh boy.
