Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

This New England white ethnostate sounds a lot like a similar movement in the north west.
Luckily, one of the leaders of this movement in Eastern WA, Matt Shea, has kind of fallen off the face of the earth after being outed as a right wing nut job and alleged terrorist. I wouldn't be shocked at all to learn this movement is regrouping and will rear its ugly head again in the near future.
Honestly I kind of like the idea of these nutjobs all congregating in one place, and it sounds like they're even volunteering to bow out of US politics. I can't help but view this as an absolute win. If all the sane people also move out of that area we can maybe even take a page from the racists own playbook and just build a wall around them.
I mean it's a fair point, but I still think it's better to have them all out in the open in one place we can keep an eye on them rather than scattered throughout the country. The trick would be to string them along enough to make them think they're getting what they want without actually giving them anything meaningful.
This sounds a lot like the State of Jefferson, which was/is supposed to be mad made up of southern Oregon and northern California. They've been talking about that idea since the early 1900's
