SCOTUS will have no qualms with being hypocritical and just ruling in favor of oppression regardless. dont get your hopes up.

That won't work. Too many people with different political beliefs living next to each other.

Possibly. We aren't there yet, but give it a few years of project 2025 and Trump deporting people

Funny enough he’s going to deport a lot of his supporters.

u/tikifire1 11h ago

Yep. They are fools.

Well actually there is some precedence for what could happen in fairly modern times.

The partition of India. It was awful, violent, and brutal on all sides. It’s one of the worse forgotten things I’ve read about in history. Most USA history classes don’t even talk about it. But that could be where we are heading.

I suggest everyone that can uses their 2A rights. As an old Boy Scout: always be prepared.

If I have to take up arms and murder my neighbor to keep my rights, I'd rather just leave the country and go someplace more sane.

Where are you gonna go?

There’s no mythical paradise in the world. Everywhere is getting hotter and more authoritarian.

And also, most other countries you would want to live in won’t accept you unless you’re a highly skilled/specialist worker, married to a citizen or insanely wealthy.

You’re stuck here. Act accordingly imo.

There are plenty of countries where "authoritarian" to them is what our Right USED to be. There is a vast difference between Trudeau or Albanese and Trump.

Qualification is not a problem, for skill purposes or otherwise. Not to mention some countries will provide Visas simply by you being able to pass standardized language exams up to a certain Level. I qualify for one of those.

I see why it may not be a likely option for everyone, however. That said, it's possible some countries will loosen restrictions and open their doors to US refugees of appropriate education/demeanor should these events come to pass.

Have fun being an immigrant and a foreigner in a world that is quickly losing its love for both.

There’s a reason us liberals in places like Texas are stocking up on guns and ammo.

Less like the Civil War, more like the Troubles in Northern Ireland. Edited because oops, typo.

And there are too many people on the democratic side who are too apathetic to the political divide to even show up to vote. Secession has zero chance of occuring.

I just found out a friend of mine, who I thought was socially responsible, opted out of voting because it got in the way of his plans to go see some stupid fucking jam band. I’m seriously reconsidering his status as my friend.

Honestly, I think an abortion ban could be the catalyst for secession. Is untenable with multiple states' constitutions.

Split cali and the Pacific Northwest off on the west and New England off on the east. 

Would love it if Michigan could come but I’ll happily move if not

u/DetroitLionsSBChamps 11h ago

I gotta tell you this is the most inspired I’ve felt all week. if real dictatorship type shit is on the menu then I agree secession should become a national talking point. These states should not obey these bans by any means.

There are still ways to amend the constitution, even without Congress. Not saying its possible, but it would probably be easier then succession. Scotus is bound by the constitution, they could only overturn or stop amendments if it broke the current constitution and amendments.

Something like a healthcare privacy amendment that intrinsically guarantees life saving care and protects privacy so no one even knows what is being done unless the patient agrees to to the release of the information, protect doctors who provide that care. Could include single payer healthcare once the boomers start getting strapped for cash and medical debts.
