MTG dreams of a post-secession scenario

[Akimbo_NOT]

@KathyPartdeux

Fomenting succession should lead to expulsion by Congress. Loss of any post employment benefits or pension & being put on the no fly list.

Yeah, wake me when that happens.

@Brainspore

Which is why they’ve simultaneously been working so hard to ensure that the outcomes of elections are not determined by which side has the most voters.

They would rather “game the system” (cheat) than change their policies to ones that can appeal to a majority of voters.

“Empty Green” is one of my faves.

@jlw

In addition to her seditious remarks, Empty Gee is outing another GQP nutter

FTFY.
Their lust for another Civil War will become a self-fulfilling prophecy if this shit is allowed to continue.

@Mindysan33

The Trumpist wing of the party isn’t even half the country, it’s a minority of a minority party.

A very LOUD one that gets lots of attention. They are doing everything they can to have the ability to subvert every election from now on, & are working at the State level to do so.

@Mindysan33

use ever legal means at our disposal

As if mere ‘legality’ was ever a hinderance for them:
“The illegal we do immediately. The unconstitutional takes a little longer.”
-Henry Kissinger
[and whyTF is this evil bastid still alive…]

@Mindysan33

to ensure a fair and safe election, they won’t win.

In their minds, the only ‘fair’ election is one where they win.

I’m leaning more towards prosecution & imprisonment for Sedition, if not full-blown Treason.
And not just for CongressCritters, either.

@DukeTrout

The 14th Amendment is even more clear:

Seems to me that Pelosi should have refused to seat those Representatives that actively worked to undermine the election results & otherwise refused to uphold their Oath of Office when this current Congress was sworn in.

@Mindysan33

they no longer care about the rule of law or about convincing people of their political positions. They have enough members in their party who believe that they are correct and that they will use whatever means at hand, including violence and electoral subversion to get and retain power.

Bingo!
Except that ‘being correct’ doesn’t matter to them. Power is all they care about.

The only thing that’s going to help us is action at the national level, re: voting rights & it will have to be done before the midterms.

[DukeTrout]

Could still happen in the next session. I won’t hold my breath, but…

@lecti

I’m fairly certain that National Divorce is just secession for stupid people

It both violates her congressional oath of office and also contradicts the Pledge of Allegiance that righties always claim to love so much

[MerelyGifted]

I thought dreaming required a brain.

[DZS]

I always wonder who will pay the Social Security benefits in a secessionist state.

[MikeTheBard]

Not gonna lie, I would love to live in a country that I didn’t have to share with these people.

Without constantly having to fight for every little crumb, we’d be able to have the normal universal healthcare, worker protections, and everything else that civilized nations generally have.

@jlw

National Divorce scenario

Sounds like secession with alimony payments, plus the house, car and kids.

[Mindysan33]

Except with extra added mass murder involved.

“pay a tax for their sins?” I don’t even know how to unpack that.
