Correct. This is no different than a local municipality “democratically deciding” to give over their governance to China.

Honestly, this needs to be an actual more common practice. It's actually much more likely to see real success than anything at the federal level. Particularly these ultra local governments like borough, municipalities, and townships. Some of these governments can, and should, be literally dissolved by legal means.

As I said during the Black National Socialist Kristallnacht of 2020, if one law enforcement organization is refusing to go on patrol due to stand-down orders, re-direct those calls to be responded by neighboring LE agencies, and use that as justification to change the political boundary of the local government with a ballot initiative. "If the city of Cityland won't respond to calls to their residents, and the township of Townsend does; then those are NOT residents of Cityland, but of Townsend! Their taxes need to go to people who represent them! What say you, residents literally-abandoned-to-the-wolves-by-Cityland?"

You don't ask a government to let you exist, you create a parallel government, and then you force them to recognize you after you've already established real political legitimacy on the ground. It's the basic premise to how a stateless nation, gets a state. This is similar to what we saw with the formation of St. George out of Baton Rouge (except, this was done with legal/political measures, rather than police redistribution). Baton Rouge was just so stupid that they never covered up a loophole that blew up in their face.

The same thing can be done in reverse, if the local government is illegitimate, there's no reason it can't be dissolved and brought under the control over another group.
