#2 Expecting things to be run on the up and up seems a bit stupid at this point...

#3 YADA yada yada. So what. We saw it coming, we saw it happen. We are acting like spectators at a football game. The time to fret and hand wring is over.

#4 We need to start creating alternate cultural institutions. Alternate media. Alternate schools. An alternate culture overall, one that is totally independent of Twitter YouTuve Facebook Google Netflix Disney CNN-NYT-ABC-WAPO-NBC-ESPN etc.

Most importantly the secession movement needs to focus on carving out rural red regions from deep blue states. These should leave and join neighboring purple states so as to tip the Electoral College balance.

We should aim to achieve the following realignments as fast a possible - hopefully by 2024 but by 2030 at the very latest.

These shifts would ensure that all of the biggest and deepest blue states lose at least 3-4 Electiral College votes each and would ensure that Pennsylvania, Wisconsin, Nevada, and Florida go red -- and return North Carolina and Georgia to red status again:

Michigan: separate Detroit, Ann Arbor, Oakland County from the rest. Non-SE Lower Peninsula should be joined to Ohio or Indiana. Upper Peninsula should be joined to Wisconsin or Minnesota.

Illinois: separate downstate and join it to Iowa

New York: upstate west of Ithaca should be joined to Pennsylvania

Virginia: separate Northern Virginia and join all counties south of Henrico County/Richmond to North Carolina

Georgia: separate from Atlanta metro and join neighboring states, principally Florida

Arizona: separate Phoenix and Tucson from the rest and join northern part to New Mexico.

California: separate Shasta / Chico areas and join to Nevada
Oregon: separate eastern regions and join to Nevada
Washington: separate eastern regions and join to Nevada

#5 Wouldn't it be easier to create new states?
Wasn't there a movement to create a state in the Northwest out of eastern Oregon, Northern CA and eastern WA?

You could the same in maybe four other regions... that would yield 55 states. The flag would then have 3 rows of 9 stars = 27 + 4 rows of 7 stars = 28.

If necessary the stripes could alternate red, white, blue, black to reiresent the union of Patriotic and Woke, each living happily in its own geographic space.

#6 Biggest mistake was Barr and Wray. Just ask Epstein.

#7 This fraud is pure evil

#8 I'm starting to think the pro-China faction in all this thinks that without Chinese money western suicide by deficit spending.

While the Trump faction is saying continuing as before is suicide combined with slavery to another nation which is worse. Trump had done a wonderful job of decoupling and getting our economy humming.

The advantage of the Pro-China way of thinking is politicians get super wealthy and can justify their treason.
