MTG has called for the execution of democrats, she’s called for civil war, she wants to impeach Biden…just because.

Media: She’s a conservative firebrand!

AOC helped Texas when they had their blackout due to poor power grid planning.

Media: She’s a radical leftist!

More rightwing rhetoric to encourage the “we will civil war you if you don’t give us all the power” crowd. Secession is not an option in this country anymore. Not only would those states be forced to procure their own resources, infrastructure, and defense, but they would also then be considered hostile neighbors to the US and we would still have the military and everything else. Probably hostile foreign nations would see opportunities to gain proximity to us, because they would become one avenue for procuring resources, which we would simply not tolerate. No benefitting from other states’ tax dollars either. No serious corporations would set up shop in such states because they’d not have any of the protections and benefits provided by the US system. And, they’d have to deal with import taxes/fees/pricing to access the US market. No, you don’t just get to land grab, decline to pay federal taxes, refuse to follow US laws and election results, and expect to keep receiving all the benefits the remaining states pay to sustain. It doesn’t work that way.
