    I get the feeling Wyoming pulls these stunts to feel powerful and relevant and would instantly regret the moment they do it.

    Doesn't mean they wouldn't Brexit if they legally could... If you talk enough trash without any backlash, you eventually believe it

    Funny enough I feel like this is one of the main reasons right-wing propaganda is so popular on Facebook/Youtube and other forms of social media. You got these nut jobs spewing conspiracy theories and lies all day, a crowd of lonely people/other losers reading through it all the time, and so few people with their heads screwed on straight to give backlash or to post-normal political views, because what kind of normal person is spending their time to do that ****?

    Which reminds me, I got to get off clutch fans lmao. This place lured me with basketball, and then somehow I got trapped in this D&D wormhole.

    Wyoming been doing this crap for a long time. In 2012 land locked Wyoming dealt with a serious resolution to buy an aircraft carrier for the state. Also talked about a "state draft" and all kinds of other crazy. They are just deluded about exactly how much the "costal elites" are responsible for maintaining their standard of living.

    Like the farmers getting half their income from federal subsidies and spend all their time complaining that the damned liberals are taxing them out of business to support "welfare queens". Its self-delusion in service of pride.

    Confidence helps a lot.

    Mike Roch has received many accolades for hard hitting exposes.

    After we make Puerto Rico a state, can we un-make Wyoming a state?

    That way we would not have to change all of the flags.

    No they don’t have the ability to be self reliant. Houston and New Orleans alone represent real problem to a reborn confederacy when they act as nation states who can block major ports and trade. They would also have a horrible military given that almost all of their recruits would need to come from those non participating liberal cities.

    Secession to reform the confederacy is stupid. Only Secession that makes any sense given geography that is a real liability for the US is CA,OR,WA. They have the geography, the cities, the industry strongholds, and the ally Canada they would be connected to could just take them in.

    Even then it would never happen because the US isn’t dumb enough to let that happen unless they do win the next few elections and turn over Democracy to become a dictatorship.

    CA and WA would have Canada and Texas would have Mexico and Central America. Oh wait, the Republicans don't want those immigrants here. Who's gonna pay for their wall and border patrol? Musk?

    Will Tillman turn the Alamo into a luxury estate for Ted Cruz, Abbott, Crenshaw and Paxton to move into? Will Crenshaw become Commander of the Alamo?

    Yep secession is not going to happen. Looking at the county map of the election it's not as though there are clean breaks of red and blue at state borders. None of the major population centers of TX would go along with secession and if for some reason CA and WA decided to secede because of a Republican administration the Central Valley of CA and all of eastern WA wouldn't go along with it.

    This has become Margorie Taylor Greene's primary focus in her newly elected position. It's scary and sad to think this GED educated nutjob actually won enough votes to get elected.

    I don’t agree with secession but when stupid tweets are made by Hillary with zero absolute evidence:eek:f Trump being a puppet by Russia, then your side is not helping the divide and pushing one side away further
