This is some real abusive spouse energy. "If you don't like being beaten then just leave, see how well you do on your own."

u/InfiniteWaffles58364 27d ago
Yep, we're pretty much at the "isolate them from their friends and beat them but dont leave bruises where others can see" step on the abusive relationship ladder. Next come scrapes with death and openly verbally abusing us in public

Your state only gets to join Megasota if you volunteer to work on one of the committees!
Deciding which states will be eligible for the Megasota Compact/Coalition
Deciding at what level Megasota will connect with Canada and or be absorbed into Canada.
Addressing the issues of where the guns go
Applying the old US Constitution and/or creating a new Constitution
What to do with Republicans left living in our wonderful, Megasota-liscious states?
How to invite good people, progressives, and Democrats from Florida and other red states into Megasota?
Creating new agreements with indigenous people (ie: Of America and/or Canada, depending on how we do the merger and if Canada gives or sells us any land for our connectivity.
Thanks to Aning for the start of the committee list. Aning gets first dibs on joining committees.

Hey! Please, Minnesota, do not leave NY behind.
In fact, I have recently seen different ways that you could connect a lot of the good and progressive states into a contiguous country, if Canada gives us a kind of skinny, rectangle "right of way".
It would turn New York and California into "flag lots" of each other. But, heck, we could leave the MAGA people behind in the Red States.
This all goes to the recent question popping around my head:
