Maybe it's time to talk secession. [View all]
How does one live in a country that's in the middle of a pandemic where a large segment of the population votes for a "leader" that proudly rejects basic public health measures? How do you overcome this ignorance? Someone please tell me.
How do you move forward on climate change, income inequality, education, healthcare, etc.? And other unknown massive events that may yet come? I go outside, and I see little children wearing masks. Parents stressed out about whether to send their kids to school or not.
We cannot go on like this. We are too divided as a people to function as a whole nation. We are a failed state.
Personally, I will do everything in my power to leave this country regardless of the outcome of this election, but that may not be possible given my age.
We need to have a serious discussion about secession. I have had it with rural voters being able to dictate to me who leads our government even though without my blue state tax dollars, they would starve to death. If they want Trump, McConnell, et al., then they should pay for them and suffer the consequences.
I live in NY. My governor and my mayor are keeping us safe from covid-19. They've had to overcome massive obstacles put in their way by this president in order to heal and protect NYers.
We may need to break free from the ignorance and bigotry and start our own blue state nation.
