    Considering how so many of them are coast states, I think Global Warming got that covered.

      MAGA against who exactly? There don’t seem to be many high ranking Democrats willing to call out Trump on his bullshit, and none willing or capable of leading an actual separatist movement or insurrection. They’re actually even more subdued and helpless than they were in 2017.

      I’d love to be wrong but I’m calling it now; when (blue) “states’ rights” get de facto dissolved and/or their midterm elections are obviously rigged, they will buckle silently and proceed with a Peaceful Transition Of Power™. Maybe their attorneys will send a Strongly Worded Letter to the Trump-appointed federal judges in charge of their case, but that’s about all the political violence the American Left has an appetite for.

      States being stripped of their independence is exactly what happened to Germany in the '30s and I don’t see why the U.S. would suddenly deviate from the script. Your country is way too morally bankrupt to even entertain the idea of a popular uprising.

        Since you don’t live here, it’s easy to talk shit from across the pond, gauging reactions from news clips and the limitations of what the internet shows you. Get some popcorn, because shit’s about to get live.

    Everyone needs to be contacting their reps about election security. It’s obvious the last election was rigged, and they are confident they can do it again with money or otherwise. We should all be in the ear of our elected officials about improving election security, because it starts at the county level.

    Half serious question: can Trump order state borders to be modified? He wouldn’t be creating/destroying a state…I really don’t know the practical limits of presidential power anymore.

    Looking over the Daily Mail (ugh), it sounds more like he expects a red wave. He says we’re in for a surprise, but that’s the kind of shit they always say.

    That’s not to say they won’t reuse their bullshit playbook (lies, voter intimidation, etc) but so far the most pressing issue we have in the midterms in all states are just milquetoast neolib Democrats running the party, likely to thumb the scales on primary season yet again. You raise the energy of the opposition and the opposition will practically camp overnight in line to cast a vote (and volunteer to vote count, etc).

    Probably fElon has Big Balls figuring out some way to fuck with anyone that might vote against the redcaps in the mid terms.
