when are we finally gonna grow some balls as a nation and realize that the only solution to this problem

@Elessar I'm so confused. Whether or not the republican states are allowed to secede impacts whether or not we're going to see that outcome. A country with roughly the normal mix (40% libs, 40% conservatives, & 20% socialists*) has a reasonable chance of turning out fine. A country with a more skewed mix (maybe 50% conservatives, 40% liberals, 10% socialists) like Texas is probably gonna turn into a fascist hell within a couple decades, especially given the conservatives' long-standing institutional advantages.

@BlueVeins I suppose they can gerrymander the sh*t out of as many states as possible and form a block large enough to become an international issue. And they can always inflate the % of supporters by making life hell for anyone else until they move out.

@Elessar Oh, they could do all kinds of crazy shit, moving polling places around like pieces on a chess board, legalized brownshirt gangs hovering around key locations. Even a poll tax isn't out of the question, I mean the attorney general there said he wants to start enforcing sodomy laws again for christ's sake

@BigAssLeech Why go so far when there are so many secrets in the Sun yet to be uncovered? 🌞

@BlueVeins So true. Space holds infinite secrets. Black holes, the sun, the cold and isolation of the outer reaches of the galaxy... all definitely very important contributions to science

@BlueVeins I think we could convince them that a mission to the sun is a good thing. We'll just tell them they'll be going at night.
