17. The Article

The article addresses the fact that Blue States also have Red Areas. Also, I don't think that Blue States acting in concert is a bad idea. The fact is that our federal government is being taken over by a nascent fascist regime. That is a pretty radical development. Radical situations may call for radical responses.

The article in the link in the OP is humorous in tone, but I think that the underlying intent is at least half serious. If we are going to lose the American Republic, I do not think that it is wrong to speculate on creating alternative forms of government.

The entire country was founded on principles of democracy and self government. If those principles are being violated, we have a right to consider alternative forms of democratic government. So I disagree with your assessment.
