The time for a national divorce is now. You can have your red states.. leave us alone in our blue ones and send us the blue folks.

That sounds good until you look at historical examples. Those that opted out of democracy always come back to take what’s “rightfully” theirs. Hell, it even happened to a lesser extent in our country. We fought a civil war to determine what America we wanted to be and let the losers go with a slap on the wrist, not even 50 years passed and the same people were not only still not with the program but they were actively trying to undermine it.

I’m not cool with succession, it’s just biding time till something worse comes along.

Just divide up the nukes and set up a non-aggression pact. Don't even need to evenly divide them, a few would be enough deterrent.

You are feeling a bit to optimistic there:
And the fifth angel blew his trumpet, and I saw a star fallen from heaven to earth, and he was given the key to the shaft of the bottomless pit. He opened the shaft of the bottomless pit, and from the shaft rose smoke like the smoke of a great furnace, and the sun and the air were darkened with the smoke from the shaft. Then from the smoke came locusts on the earth, and they were given power like the power of scorpions of the earth. They were told not to harm the grass of the earth or any green plant or any tree, but only those people who do not have the seal of God on their foreheads.
Revelation 9:1–4

Personally, I feel it would be more likely they would fulfill God's most Holy Prophecy and initiate a nuclear first strike to unleash the plague of locust scorpions on the unbeliever. It is a great way to get an early advantage in the most Holy Crusade to purge the heretic who worships God slightly differently then they do.


( I was sent to one of those religious schools, perhaps because I was not straight enough. Anyway, I was forced to memorize what they actually believe. )

Indeed, the whole MO behind these things is the ability to “other” another group and put blame for -whatever- on them, a populist will remove your faith in the media and then single out a group as reason for why you cant have what is yours what you are owed.
It makes no sense of course, the only one winning is the populist, everyone else loses, red blue or green.

The Repubs have been dishonest shitbirds all my life. It took them a LONG time to oppose Nixon during the Watergate scandal...they've only gotten worse as the years went by.
I'm only slightly surprised that so many of them have jumped on the Trump Train...because opposing him is political suicide nowadays.

What's an alternative? Not being facetious.

And please don't say wE nEeD tO vOtE tHeM OuT.

I don’t know because there isn’t a single solution but I do know propaganda, misinformation, and information segregation are at the heart of the issue.

This is also generally considered the anti-homosexual purge against the founders of the NS/Nazi party and original power structure (the SA)....to make sure Hitler comes through without any competition. Crazy shit, crazy history. And it's all true.

GOP is doing this now...but their current fruit hangs very loooooow (LoL @ Cawthorne and Boooberts)

I just can't believe how horrible these people are. Cawthorne is right wing as hell, they're making fun of an eye patch you got as an American military member fighting overseas, because he support something against Russia, a country that wants to destroy America. And they think they are the most patriotic, The cognitive dissonance is off the charts right now. Calling them really fucking crazy feels like tame words compared to what they really are

So fucking mind-boggling how insanely evil these people are.

I've never seen anything like it, except in the absolute worst dictatorships in the world, Nazi Germany, fascist Italy, The Red revolution in China, Lenin, Stalin, that's what these Republicans are deep down

Yes, well the killing of Rohm probably had more to do with getting the SA in line than with homosexuality.

People also forget that Gregor Strasser was killed that day. He had been the leader of the pro-socialist branch of the Nazis. He likely was killed at the behest of industrialists whom Hitler needed for his rearmament plan. Modern conservatives who try to argue that the Nazis were a socialist party because of provisions in their original platform don't seem to know of anything that actually happened after that platform was introduced in 1920.

The Q / Trump republicans or NRINO (not republicans in name only) or if you prefer (NRINO: never republicans in name only), whatever the fuck they are or want to call themselves, not that should matter to anyone, but no doubt the first thing they will do if Trump is re-elected is to change party name from republican to something like PATRIOT'S TILL DEATH or TRUMP'S FREEDOM ENFORCERS or most likely TRUMP'S FREEDOM FIGHTERS.
And this name change would be insisted upon by newly re-elected president Donald Trump because... the republican brand failed Trump in 2020 and many of the republican establishment failed Trump in 2020, so naturally Trump would wage war AGAINST the republican brand itself.
I wonder what those RINO's will think when a re-elected president Donald Trump insists the name REPUBLICAN be purged.
I wonder....???

I remember arguing with my Trumpie Q niece back when I found out she was Q. I remember my niece getting very upset with my facts and clarity and she said "ALL WE WANT IS TO LIVE IN PEACE (the Q movement I guess). Then I reminded her that all the Q's do is to threaten with death anyone and everyone not them. She wanted to hunt and kill Nancy Pelosi, she wanted to hunt and kill Hollywood elite Tom Hanks (the head pedophile), and she wanted to hunt and kill Joe Biden and Kamala Harris. So it sounds like the Q's (the Trumpies) definition of "LIVING IN PEACE" is to exterminate everyone that they don't like.
A real peaceful bunch. Hey? :rolleyes:

It makes sense that FIRST they gathered all the guns in the world, and NOW they only want a blood bath.
And believe me, they consider RINO's as bad and worthy of death as they do every democrat. Democrats, the party of pedophile's as they want to believe. You can't kill someone in cold blood if you first don't demonize your prey as unfit to live. And the best way to demonize someone is to think of them as the worst possible human on earth.... i.e. A PEDOPHILE.
THEN.... killing is perfectly fine AND dandy because everyone hates the pedophile.
(just a little Q education for ya all)
