    …or their own country, with it’s own constitutional adjustments… It’s own president, military, and the offer to pay people to move there. When you get more people than the USA, start calling yourself the USA.

    …say you’ll only rejoin the union of there’s a snap election with new oversight rules, have th UN or NATO involved to prevent cheating.

      I think it’s worth starting with “here are some fixes that our group of states think should be implemented”

    Interesting idea. Sometimes it’s easier to act and come up with something first, then ask other people to join later.

    Alright everyone the biggest thing that will change literally everything for the better is getting together in real-time online 3rd space community groups on Stoat, and Matrix/Element then getting things done together

    Hope is the best thing to have in this moment. Also read this: https://www.goodgoodgood.co/articles/hope-key-in-meaningful-life

    That’s the biggest thing that will change a lot. Online Groups per city, town, state, and one for country overall. So everyone can educate, inspire, inform, do projects together to get things done now, discuss, help, etc etc. Online affecting in-person, and in-person affecting online

    That’s the biggest equalizer that needs to happen now. Would you rather roll over in defeat from doing nothing or doing something worthwhile

      You’re right about the need to organize locally, but I don’t think it applies in this context, given local movements can realistically impact state and federal politics at a slow pace at the best of times (which is usually ok–they’re local organizations, after all).

      It’s frustrating to find a lack of mechanisms to affect URGENT change to the federal government without the benefit of time, legal consistency, privacy, powerful allies, money and resources, (I could go on for ages).
