I'm sure New York City would be only too happy to no longer have to supplement upstate New York's costs.

In exchange for Catskills water, we send them our criminals so that the prison economy upstate makes money and the inmates get counted as part of that county's census, so the feds send those upstate counties more money for NYC's felons. Notice that the bill calls for separate prison systems for each region.

I would love to get rid of libs and just have rational people who will work in the US. The libs could have all the "diversity", all the trannies, pedophiles, and homeless (who are staunch dems).

Liberals are the ones who are the real totalitarians, advocating violence to achieve their political goals and focusing on taking other people's money. Have you been in a coma for the last four months?
Have you ever read the book or saw the series based on the book? I haven't but it is a dystopia future where women have no rights especially Handmaids who are raped.

Why Isn't Any Candidate Urging It? Breaking Up The Country!



Because they like to confine their empty promises to things that are possible if not probable.

Only psychologically unstable extremists want to break up the country. This is why we have checks and balances... to keep emotionally unstable people who can't handle that they don't live in an echo chamber where everyone thinks the way they do, from getting real power. I'm worried they actually will get power if Biden wins and Kamala takes over though. There's some dangerously unstable people in that party now. Trump's behavior made them blow a gasket.

It's not psychologically unstable to do the math and realize your money is paying for people that work against you. Name calling doesn't change the truth. The ones that want to keep the country together are the ones that want to get that federal money. Remember how Trump tweeted that Obama only paid 20% tax? Now we see he was paying zero. ZERO. While complaining Obama was "only" paying 20%. These are the type of people that want to keep the country together. The ones that lie and use federal dollars (OUR money) for their own gain.

It is not psychologically unstable to wish to live free of tyranny and in a nation that supports individual liberty. You know, kind of like the nation used to be prior to the big progressive takeover a hundred years ago. Some people do not like collectivism. Nothing psychologically wrong with that. What is psychologically wrong is a group of people proclaiming, "resistance is futile." It's not futile. Resistance is how liberty is won. When tyranny becomes law, resistance becomes duty.
