do-something

[-] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 59 points 2 weeks ago

Do it. Let's start balkanizing

[-] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 40 points 2 weeks ago

Hell yeah

Let's see how well they do on their own without deep dish and overly complicated hot dogs

[-] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 13 points 2 weeks ago

Hey at least we have good public transit

[-] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 8 points 2 weeks ago

True

I gotta get back out there soon, I miss riding the bus

Conservatives in Oregon or Washington want to do the same with Idaho, is this the new trend?

[-] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 27 points 2 weeks ago

think-about-it For each conservative bulkanation we'll get 2 more senators.

[-] Speaker@hexbear.net 35 points 2 weeks ago

Wow, I would love to give Democrats even more cover to do nothing ever. "We were gonna make queers immortal, but there are 170 Republicans in the Senate and we tried our hardest."

[-] Hexboare@hexbear.net 26 points 2 weeks ago

The 170 Republican senators have called a constitutional convention and will pass a range of draconian amendments to the constitution, giving Trump the legislative powers of Henry VIII and making him the immortal Leader - donate $50 to Act Blue to save democracy!

(Henry VIII codified the ability to make legislation by royal proclamation, bypassing parliament and setting the British state up for the execution of Charles I and civil war a hundred years later)

Lol, it's nothing new. I remember my skinhead coworker talking about it 8 years ago.

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Greater_Idaho_movement

As of July 2024, thirteen counties in Oregon had approved ballot measures in favor of Greater Idaho: Baker, Crook, Grant, Harney, Jefferson, Klamath, Lake, Malheur, Morrow, Sherman, Union, Wallowa, and Wheeler.

If this ever happened, the new state would be even more of a tax haven or credit card zone of interest than Delaware or South Dakota.

It would become a Próspera (libertarian special economic zone in Honduras that their government now trying to remove) within the United States and immediately be set upon by crypto miners and libertarians.

The existing residents would violently revolt against the fact that their rural communities now have real estate speculation, raw sewage in the rivers, and black bears in the streets eating garbage.

Good lord you know the kind of environmental fuck ups that will happen there

[-] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 38 points 2 weeks ago

Mfw you expected it to be fakenews but it actually happened

[-] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 35 points 2 weeks ago

New amerikkka flag is a 50^3^ d20-fuck-ya of burgers, stars, and various acab and explosions.

[-] Guamer@hexbear.net 33 points 2 weeks ago

Not happening, deep state likes it at an even 50

[-] buh@hexbear.net 31 points 2 weeks ago

we'll just combine the dakotas or carolinas to keep it at 50

BAL-KA-NIZE! BAL-KA-NIZE!

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 25 points 2 weeks ago

Now with even more libertarian trash eating black bears!

[-] SteamedHamberder@hexbear.net 8 points 2 weeks ago

To clarify, libertarian black bears who eat trash.

[-] amberSuperMario@lemmygrad.ml 21 points 2 weeks ago

According to the article, other counties tried this already in 2020 and 2022 so I doubt anything comes of this. Pretty funny though

[-] bbnh69420@hexbear.net 11 points 2 weeks ago

It was 7/over 100, and the AG specifically said they cant do it. so it won't happen until they make it happen

[-] mudpuppy@hexbear.net 21 points 2 weeks ago

honestly my issue with this is there would no longer be 50 states. they need to either coordinate a bunch of different splits so there are 100, or merge two together. there are a lot of states that dont matter at all and dont have any meaningful differences and are right next to each other, and i think they should be merged together if we're gonna add one.

[-] ToxicDivinity@hexbear.net 9 points 2 weeks ago

Add this and Puerto Rico, merge Mass & RI, merge New Hampshire & Vermont

This stuff is hitting the news ahead of schedule it seems. It seems like a joke until you realize that they are getting ready for parallel structure "reconstituted" state governments once the immigrant purges start. Democrats had a chance to do this for the black belt and Aztlan but of course vilified those movements into the grave.

[-] Finger@hexbear.net 14 points 2 weeks ago

no more half measures walter

[-] infuziSporg@hexbear.net 7 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

It's good courtesy to post an article from the source, especially of the source article has key details like which counties they are and the derivative article doesn't.

Source article

Counties: Iroquois, Calhoun, Clinton, Greene, Jersey, Madison, Perry.

Madison is in the STL metro area (very urban sprawly county) and the rest are depopulated farming counties.

This shit right here is why I want to become governor of NY before upstate and western NY succeed from us

I have lived among the northern barbarians and can gain their favor, the west shall be conquered by force if necessary and Buffalo liberated from the surrounding suburbs and scary white rural areas

Then after securing our boarders we will turn to the surrounding states (or whatever we have at that point) and ask, are they with us or against us?

Check out the divide new york caucus, it's hilarious
