Yeah they want one party rule so they can do whatever they want forever. People will get more and more upset with the things they do while in power but won’t be able to stop it so they’ll stop participating which will guarantee even more Republicans win. They want to make the Democrats non existent, they would have already made them illegal if they felt like they could.
The more they push the more I think the US will not last that much longer, maybe a decade, and then it’ll split into multiple countries. People who are liberal and leftist on the west coast can only be so useful if the feds ruin everything they do, so they could split off and make their own thing, as has been talked about more and more recently.
It would be the messiest split ever, considering there are blue economic strongholds in most of red leaning states, and red rural areas feeding the cities throughout the blue leaning. At a macro level all the states are co-dependent, everyone fails if the union fractures.
There is no clean way out of it. Split, civil war, fascist dictatorship crackdown, world war against the US, war with Mexico and Canada forcing the US collapse, sending every possible minority to a concentration camp and ruling for decades only to eventually collapse like all fascist dictatorships do. There is only messiness in the future.
From an early age Americans are programmed to have an emotional attachment to the idea of a unified country, but the reality is most would be happier with governance being more localized and proportional.
So glad someone else feels this way. I’ve been pretty certain we’ve been headed for balkanization since the first election. This districting fight feels like a logical step on the way.
This country is too big and diverse to accept a turnip dictatorship much longer.
I don’t welcome the inevitable war that would follow a declaration of secession, but I happily look forward to a post-war Pacific States of America. It’s long overdue.

Pretty much Putin’s dream, Russia’s biggest adversary voluntarily and arbitrarily committing suicide.
(Or about as voluntary as most convenient suicides benefiting Putin.)

I really wish more people saw it with this kind of clarity.
