The Official MTG Thread - All MTG stuff in here

[gothuevos]

They'll have to sell whatever they grow on their farmlands. Who do you think they'll sell to? To other farmers from other Red states who are also looking to sell what they grow too? You also forget that both CA and IL (Blue states) have farmlands and are among top food producing US states.

And it's very likely the farmers in CA and IL are conservatives. What's stopping them from fleeing? Who runs their farms then? Or what if they refuse to sell? Or worse yet, what it they torch their farms as an act of defiance/sabotage before they go?

How do CA and IL feed the entirety of the blue states? How do they get this food to NY, for example, if the red states block commerce or simply seize the goods? So you're looking at armed conflict at a minimum. And this is just the tip of the iceberg in terms of the logistics involved to simply FEED people. What about water? Energy? Medicine?

Both red and blue states would turn into 3rd world hellholes overnight.

He's right though. I grew up in Central IL and now live in the Chicago Suburbs. IL south of I-80 already wants to break away from "Chicago". Give them a choice and they'll become part of MO or IN.

Remember Mary "Hitler was right on one thing" Miller? Yeah, she's from IL.

Illinois Congresswoman Says ‘Hitler Was Right on One Thing'

A newly-sworn in congresswoman from southern Illinois quoted Adolf Hitler as she spoke outside the U.S. Capitol, saying the German Nazi leader “was right on one thing.”

Huh? I'm not the one advocating for this.

But the people saying "Let red states leave, we'll be fine" aren't thinking it through.

TBH not even sure why MTG would float this idea. At the rate they are taking over the education system, in 20 years nobody will have even ever heard of liberalism. They have been, and are continuing to win the long game while we are distracted with stupid tweets.

So Marge wants a divorce AND for sure will take the federal gov't to court to get a nice hefty monthly alimony settlement.

Fuck dat shit, yer on yer own, bitch.

So then may I assume your "long game" frame of reference is that the Republicans will seize the gov't and force the liberal states to finance what would then be a conservative run dictatorship?

Jus' ask'in.

There's China's and Putin's wet dream right there!!!

They'd have a smile from ear to ear!

But as we've learned from history.. no castle is strong enough if it has a traitor within!

No, at the rate they are taking over and controlling education, liberalism will simply cease to exist. They don't need to take anything by force. They will control all ideas.

The opposite holds true too. There are millions of liberals living in red state cities. Even if they wanted to remain in the US, where would they work? Where would the red framers rushing to red states work? Those farms already have farmers.

If they can take away our right to vote for 5 years, what's stopping them from 10? 20? Forever?

In case you're wondering how you'll be treated in the future America...

Hell yeah.

Removing democracy one day at a time.

USA! USA! USA!

 

[gothuevos]

You all laugh, but this has happened time and time again throughout human history.

Chip away at rights. Then take big chunks. Dehumanize.

If you don't have the right to vote, what's stopping them from doing far worse?

Will somebody PLEASE get this silly wise and beautiful woman laid so she'll shut up?

(And no, I'm totally not gonna do it, but I know there are some incels out there willing to take one (or ten) for the team.)

Look she is a disgusting human and must be opposed. But her views are not mainstream either. Stop letting her live in your head all the time.

 

[dawp]

the sad part is that they think in 5 years those the move from blue states will change their views but more likely is they will create resentment and militants.

 

[purbeast0]

Does she realize that her own state is now a blue state?

 

[brycejones]

Does she realize that her own state is now a blue state?

Not according to everyone she talks to at the local Klan meeting.

 

[dawp]

Does she realize that her own state is now a blue state?

I wouldn't call it blue, more like a shade of purple, maybe Plum Crazy.

 

[vi edit]

Nobody wins. Red states will control a lot of the food/farmlands and could starve many blue states. I suppose blue states could simply buy what they need elsewhere, but the prices passed onto citizens would be insanity. Not to mention what it would do to everyone's taxes.

Only similar option would be to go all in on federalism.

Meh. Read up pants shitter.

Know Where Your Food Comes From with USDA Foods

Do you know where your food comes from? If you can pinpoint where your food was grown and produced, you can make more informed decisions to maximize quality, freshness, and nutritional value. You can also help support local economies through your purchases. The USDA Foods program takes this...

www.usda.gov

A recent report on the state of origin of USDA Foods found that USDA Foods procures food from more than three-quarters of all states. California, Minnesota, Pennsylvania, Michigan, and Illinois are the five states with the highest dollar amounts of USDA Foods purchases. A number of items available through USDA Foods are sourced solely from one state. For example, 100 percent of the strawberries purchased by USDA Foods in FY2014 came from the state of California. During this time, California schools received approximately 3.3 million pounds of this locally produced product through the USDA Foods program. All of the wild blueberries came from Maine and all the catfish were purchased from Mississippi.

Most of flyover states aren't generating stuff for food. It's more commercial in nature. Biggest money earners all have Democratic Govs.

To give her base a chubby. This is ol' "Jewish Space Lasers" we're talking about here.

I give her(?) five whole minutes holding that cannon at port like she(?) is whereupon that smile will be gone and she'll be dragging it through the streets wishing she had a wheelbarrow to haul it from thereon in.

Greene went on to say that one thing red states could propose is “if Democrats voters choose to flee these blue states where they cannot tolerate the living conditions, they don’t want their children taught these horrible things and they really changed their mind of the types of policies they support, well, once they move to a red state guess what — maybe you don’t get to vote for five years.”

Under fire, this fing idiot went on Twitter today to post her master work of her well reasoned thesis on this proposal.
A modern intellectual tour de farce.
