    I’m finally black pilled on Republicans. I thought for years that they were just uneducated morons that could be redeemed. I then realized with the second administration that no, they’re just intellectually inconsistent and will do mental gymnastics ensuring they are never wrong nor accountable.

    I feel like an extremist because I don’t see a solution that isn’t forced education or prison. Ignoring them doesn’t work, making fun of them doesn’t work, they’ve overcome societal safeguards and are immune to feelings of regret.

      Dissolution back into independent states, with an underground railroad to get sane people out of the red states.

      Yeah I know it sucks. This whole thing sucks. I wish we hadn’t lost the war over information, but now this is where we’re at. If we’re worried about external threats, we could accept Denmark’s offer.

      It’s simple, let them have the South. It’s a shithole due to their idiocy anyway

      Deport anyone who has voted R in the last 2 elections and close the border

      Simple

          Good, nearly all of them just grow up to vote like their parents too

          Maybe a few generations of crippling poverty and authoritarianism will weed out their tendency for monarchy
