Wouldn't encouraging cession mean MTG is now encouraging active rebellion against the United States? And wouldn't that make her ineligible to hold office under the 14th amendment?
The Union should have scorched earth the South when it had the chance. Tear up their train tracks, block the harbors, nationalize all the farm lands, dissolve the rebel states borders into Federal Territories, hang all rebel political leaders and put all military officers above Lt. in front of the firing squad. Instead, you let them live and fester, even naming military bases, ships and tanks after them.
Let's do a quick thought experiment and say there was an actual legal framework for states to leave the union. How do Republicans think that would go? Under no circumstances would any major city in the south go along with leaving. Republicans states are far more purple than elections would suggest due to voter suppression, election fraud, and gerrymandering. So in reality the confederate areas would just be poor rural areas. Add in the fact that the US holds the keys to all the military equipment and weapons, the confederate areas would turn into a lawless hell scape over night. And without nuclear weapons and no international agreements for defense, I'm sure Mexico and Cuba would love to reclaim some of their lost territory.
I can go on. But the main reason these idiots keep bringing this up is to suggest violence into getting their way. It's not even a viable option to even consider for them. The situation I made is a best case scenario for them to. If they tried to violently leave the union it would be couple million good old boys in trucks up against jets and tanks.
And then blue states can stop funding red states and the red states will crumble even further.
Nine of the ten states that get the most federal fucking dollars and pay the least... can you guess? Go on, guess. That’s right, motherfucker, they're red states. And eight of the ten states that receive the least and pay the most? It’s too easy, asshole, they’re blue states. It’s not your money, assholes, it’s fucking our money.
I might be in the minority, but I say let 'em go: provided they take a proportional amount of the US debt with them, and give back all the military assets that the rest of the country bought. They can re-staff all those military bases they named after Confederates on their own dime, while paying back debt and funding their own Social Security.
I bet once they actually get presented the budget for their ideas, all of a sudden they decide they like the Blue states (and their tax base) a lot more than they used to.
No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any state, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any state legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any state, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.
Oh please do! It’ll be an absolute joy to watch the red states bend over backwards trying to execute the mental gymnastics it will take to explain to their loyalist voter base- why they are all bankrupt now.
Go for it. A pretty big portion of the red states can't manage to balance their budgets. It would be funny to see them collapse under the weight of corporate greed and political ineptitude.
Here in Colorado we have some idiots in at least one county who wants to secede from the state and become part of Wyoming. Personally, I would love that because those people have no idea what they're asking for. Wyoming is one of the strictest states when it comes to cannabis, which would become illegal again. You can't have it both ways where you keep your blue state protections and have your red state affiliation.
Don't count her statement out. Yes, letting the REP states go would weaken the union, but think of the popcorn you'd consume while you see them sink without pork barrels and subsidies.
@FlyingSquid what a traitorous scumbag. I can't wait for her to disappear from the media landscape because I'm so sick of her stupidity and absolute disregard for non-Christians.
Why shouldn't they be allowed to secede? Let the inhabitants of each state vote under international supervision to make sure the vote goes by according to western standards. I see no reason why any community should be barred from seeking independence and self rule.
In February, Georgia Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene called for a “national divorce” between red and blue states.
On Monday, Greene (R-Ga.) wrote on X (formerly Twitter) that “if the Biden admin refuses to stop the invasion of cartel led human and drug trafficking into our country, states should consider seceding from the union.”
“From the sick and disgusting woke culture issues shoved down our throats to the Democrat’s traitorous America Last policies, we are done,” Greene said at the time.
The measure would allow Texans to vote on “whether or not the State should investigate the possibility of Texas independence, and present potential plans to the Legislature.”
In 2022, failed Ohio congressional candidate J.R. Majewski called for states where a majority of voters had supported Trump to split from the country.
While Majewski failed to make it into elected office, Greene’s repeated calls for succession have not gone unnoticed by her colleagues in the House.

has already happened
work has me cross state lines all the time
insurance laws for vehicles including what insurance companies are allowed to be used and how, laws for what medical drugs you are allowed to use, laws on what doctors are able to do, and the list goes on for state by state laws and the federal laws mean nothing unless the state wants the law to mean something
states are able try and keep people in the states that they are in with laws and restrictions that are effective such as low wages and piss poor education
South Carolina has an extra tax on vehicles bought out of state such as upstate residents buy in nearby Charlotte, or Kings Mountain, or Gastonia North Carolina that is hundreds of dollars extra just a small example
This is the Disunited States of America and has been for a bit
Citizens are also helping to fuel this by not recognizing the rot around them
Been on fire and no warnings of possible fires will help when s##t is already burnt almost down
MTG and her gross ass feet should secede. They could live off the proceeds from her freakish feet’s only fans. You know there are some real sick people out there that would pay big bucks to watch feet like hers.
Edit I didn’t know about the three toe thing. I was talking about this pic.
