Having 2 festering heeps of authoritarianism next to your country is less than ideal. A strong handed attempt to reform them would be better, like an external board to determine their districts (though it'd require an amendment to the constitution)
Disagree entirely. Reform is less possible than eviction. If the federal government said “we will allow it” then Florida and Texas would overwhelmingly vote to Amerexit.
And shit, let’s just let the south have all of it back. Let them reform themselves. Slavery? Not my problem.
That's a lack of empathy that I cannot agree with.
Straight white middle class male?
So for not wanting people to be literally enslaved you are profiling me as a straight white middle class male. Wow.
No, for not wanting those nut jobs to split off and do their own thing, leaving the rest of us to enjoy life… that is why. Am I wrong?
“Empathy” hah.
Their own thing is oppressing people. We should stop that much as far as we have power to , and if we can force them out of the union that's likely from a position where we would.
You would allow the people in those states to be oppressed just to make your own life easier. Yes, you are wrong
You’re a man and middle class. You live in Chicago. You work for a big company. You have a car. The only thing in question is your race and sexuality. Rolling the dice on sexuality being heterosexual. So you’re not white? I could scroll more and find out, but just admin it’s all true.
And if you were a heterosexual middle class white male, you wouldn’t be able to comprehend why I want them not part of my country.
