Apparently none of them have done so yet, only talking about it: https://thedonald.win/p/11QlTuYt7R/massive-disinformation-effort-on/

Really proud to see my state on this list. My state's leadership has tons of issues but I can get behind them with this.

I feel kinda bad for all you current citizens of the neo-Confederation, because you're going to have a shitload of people from blue state hellholes moving there.

Consider a temporary elimination of secret ballots for new residents from out of state.

Lol, trust me, my state is probably one of the last ones people want to move to. Having a bad reputation has its upsides lol

Pleased to see my state supporting it.

Fingers crossed and all that, but time will tell.

If this pulls through how vindictive are the Dems going to be?

On a scale of very to extremely, that is

Yeah, just saw it, sounds pretty serious. Is there time for some cucked AGs to still come out and join after seeing this?

I don't know. I'm honestly surprised Idaho isn't on the list.

There are some interesting things cooking, for sure. We should have the results of the forensic audit of the 22 Dominion machines soon, there is the PA lawsuit with Alito, and of course the Texas lawsuit, which other states might join. And these are just off the top of my head, and who knows how many other things are happening that we do not even know about. The Texas lawsuit certainly came out of the left field for me.

There might not be a legal way for them to do so in the first place. So these declarations of support may be just as significant as them actually joining the suit would be, simply because they aren't able to in the first place.

Good question, maybe they have to file separately, for example.

IIUC they will be able to join the case if SCOTUS decides to take it. Right now it's on the docket but they can still dismiss it.

South Dakota keeps making plays that put it high on my "states to move to" list. Is there anyone more familiar with that state that can comment on the stability of its current political situation. Is it trending in a bad direction?

South Dakota has its moments (just not very many of them). I've been through there ... on my way to somewhere else. Not an easy place to survive and prosper, plus cold windy and with little rain.

If you've ever seen ag land use maps, it probably takes 10 acres of range per head of livestock, or worse. I don't know what kind of crop that land would support. It would be a hard life.

The plains on the far east edge of the state seemed pretty green when I drove through in early October. Lot of grass obviously and trees planted around farms at least provided some evidence of enough rain to support them. And while they get less rain than we do it's more evenly spread throughout the year. However i haven't done much study of what all is involved in growing crops there.

Agree about the cold and wind though. Though considering one of the other states on my list is Alaska I've accepted that's likely to be in my future. Anyplace that doesn't have cold winters is going to have too hot of summers for my tastes.

I was thinking of moving to Alaska as well in the future. I wanna be alone from this craziness.

Based entirely on my oil rigger family members, its famous for rig towns popping up, then becoming hellholes once it leaves as well as some of the country's most miserable weather.

So watch out for that.

.

This source says seven more states, for a total of eight - https://thespectator.info/2020/12/09/seven-states-will-join-texas-in-scotus-lawsuit-against-georgia-michigan-wisconsin-and-pennsylvania/

It's certainly starting to look like a lot of states. I can't remember seeing anything quite like this.

Atlanta was burned correctly the first time. It will be burned correctly for the exact same reasons the 2nd time. Fuck the Slaveocrats and their Plantation system.

I'm just trying to get in the spirit of things. Slavery requires heavy state intervention to sustain it, but the north could have let the south collapse by itself. Fuck the state.

I don't disagree. I think the authoritarian left and right see each other in each faction, but the translation doesn't make any sense.

The Linconite change to the US was a major one, but to claim that Lincoln or the Radical Republicans were socialists or Leftists is a terrible misunderstanding of their different factions. Similarly, the Abolitionists were not nearly as moral as the establishment likes to paint them. Clearly industrial interests were going to be involved, and there is a clear division between industrialists and the plantation system, but the industrialists didn't need a war to acquire economic power in the south. That being said, I can't overstate the stupidity of any "conservative" or even paleo-conservative that would allege that the Confederates were some form of Libertarian or traditionalists who were being unjustly attacked. The Slaveocracy was quite real, quite powerful, and highly authoritarian as the Fugitive Slave Law shows. Meanwhile, the religious authoritarians of the north were also clearly having an effect and were a major moral and popular force in the war.

Many people want to ascribe the 1800's as if it were a time significant freedom in the US, but it's fairly clear it wasn't that free nor individualist. While Liberal Revolutions were taking place across Europe in the 1840's-1860's, Liberalism in America did exist on both sides of the north/south divide, and while any genuine Liberal must oppose enslavement, many were petrified of a race war. Liberalism, overall in the country, had seemed to partly dissolve after our initial revolution.

It appears, to me, that the spirit of 1776 had slowly faded away by the Jackson administration, and Liberalism itself had not fully taken root in every layer of the culture of the republic. It seemed that Authoritarianism was supposed to be tolerated everywhere except the federal government.
