I'm just letting you all know that that would be the next step. Otherwise, we are in a police state. Elections are over. There will be something to come along and scare us into his submission. And it will all seem perfectly logical. But it will be evil. Vance seems like Damien Thorne.

I bet CAD/USD would zoom up to 2.50 if we did that. The currency markets reward currencies belonging to economies which invest in their people and infrastructure. It suggests a strong potential for market efficiency.

All we need are leaders who are currently in the public spotlight and who will conduct this orchestra over the Internet, encouraging us to go to the neighbors for safety. Do it. Do it now. It's only going to get worse if we stay in the USD.

The best part about leaving the USD for the CAD is that we'll be leaving the political right with the bag (the US debt). That's going to be glorious.

We want CAD/USD to rise and it will when there's a mass exodus from the users of USD in the blue counties. All electronically and not a single bullet fired. That is how we evolve from having to use a civil war to solve our problems.

This is all just so depressing. Would it at all be possible to disregard the constitution (like he is doing) and develop a separate currency. There is no "American society." The Super Bowl and the currency. Change the currency and you change the country. youtube.com/watch?v=v32j...

OPTION ONE Stay with Trumpistan and hope he doesn't make it impossible to vote or to be informed enough to vote. OPTION TWO Put our wealth into a different currency and tell Trump to fuck off.

The way to think of currency pairs would be like "CAD/USD" And you would say that like... "I can get X amount of USD for one CAD Currently, that sits at 0.72 USD for one CAD I had that mixed up a while ago.

The path of least resistance would be for us to start using the Canadian dollar, at least for now...until we figure this all out, eh? We're not moving in. We're simply trying to find a safe space because Daddy has gone nuckin' futs and he's beating on us

My best speculation is that the guy who shot up the Mormons was "fundamentalist MAGA." To me, "fundamentalist MAGA" would be like... "Not just Christianity, but OUR view of Christianity, with zero tolerance for any other branch" Would YOU share the same country with someone like that? You are.

Keep it shut down because we're not going to fund a police state. youtube.com/watch?v=LmTl...

It's really easy for even Democrats to not fully grasp what is about to transpire on the streets, because many of them do not depend on government assistance. Way to suffering: the road ahead or the road we're on now Way to righteousness: a different currency 💵

a different currency

We're looking at a full blown dystopia. Let's just use a different currency and cut Red America off. We trade in our USD for another different currency. Like a stable coin. Peg it to the dollar for now.

When the technology is there for us to easily transition to another currency, why should we endure the pain of less money (government shutdown) just to be able to beat the GOP in the next election? I say let's have our own BSA provide such social services and fuck waiting two to four years.

But you know what else? Geologists who specialize in tectonic plates tell us that North America still hasn't separated from Europe? I guess that brings a whole new meaning to... European-American If that's true, maybe the people in Europe are also European-American Hmm?

I'm not white. I'm actually kind of beige or the tuna side of peach. Or, if you want, we can say European-American.

We are nearing the end of their era. It's been a long time. So, they feel politically threatened. They're thrashing out like when Toto busted the Great Oz. And everyone knows it 😜 bsky.app/profile/gunv...

Red States of America Trumpistan Christian States of America You see? All kinds of names that haven't been taken yet. Don't worry. We won't take any of your names. National anthem: Greenwood's "God Bless the USA" Capital city: Mar-A-Lago Official religion: "Christianity" Language: English

Not really anything about economics and letting the free market decide. Although that's what they'll tell you. They'll say, "Well, we can't afford to have a socialist democratic kind of budget like they have in many Western European countries."

They're gonna cut off the government assistance and then use the military to quell people when we raise hell about it. Why? Because he's a dickhead. youtube.com/watch?v=ZlJq...

Why do you think wine is the alcohol delivery system of choice among older white women? Please feel free to correct me on my overgeneralizing. 😎

In the Civil War, the north needed to overtake the south and the south just needed to defend itself. In the blue versus red split we have today, we're both just trying to defend ourselves. Red worked within the system for a long time in order to change the system. They don't need our approval.

How stupidly we separate ourselves over how the sun has evolutionarily-treated our skin. From a market perspective, light skin has greater social market value, because it's not as common as the other brown 75%. But in the end, we're all dead, right?

If we went to another planet with "intelligent" life, we would find that they too might have variation in the way their sun has evolutionarily treated their skin. The lighter-skinned people might feel that they are better than others. Racism might be cosmic in occurrence.

There's a new virus called chikungunya. It's deadly and it's spreading fast. Here's what it looks like. "Fever, joint pain, headache, muscle pain, joint swelling, and rash." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chikung...

Another upside to starting our own country is that we'll be able to have all of the gun control laws we want.

bsky.app/profile/gunv... Here, we find a gun violence ticker.. One at least every ten minutes.

I mean, it's only logical, Don. If you're willing to go after the people who gave you trouble, then why wouldn't you provide military protection to ONLY people that voted for you? Why does it matter to you if Los Angeles is a hellhole or not? According to you, you shouldn't care, right?

Why rustle feathers when you don't have to, Don? You can save face by just repositioning the troops you have in the urban areas to rural areas or red cities. Then, you can just build a chain-link fence all around Trumpistan. We'll pay for it. Because you have your own country, no extradition.

I think the original plan was to send soldiers in to intimidate people from voting. But I think Trump is beginning to think, "As long as I can have a country of my own, then they can never extradite me." It doesn't have to be all of the current US. Just carve out the red and call it "Trumpistan."

Trump and the Republicans will keep doing outrageous things until we call it quits. They do not want to be the one to quit.

Speaker Johnson has said that there's nothing to negotiate. Democrats are not going to get anything even if they did negotiate. Let's just get out of the Union. Once people figure out that the government checks and assistance are not coming anymore, THEN they'll fucking listen to me.

Didn't Portland's mayor and the Oregon governor prevent ICE from entering Portland?

Then, we can align our city-states with the other cities of the world. They'll be calling it the Global Urban Renaissance of the early 21st century. A global cooperation to get all the world's cities looking good and running smoothly. Coordinated. 24/7.

Tell your county commissioner that you're going to give them all the tax dollars that you're currently giving to DC and that you are expecting the same amount of services provided by your current government. Health care, education, housing and income security. Pay less and get more eventually.

The week of silence before election day is not to just give the will of the people the respect it deserves, but to also give voters quiet time to think about all that was said or not said in the debates.

How about no political parties at all and if someone wants to be on the ballot, they should get X thousand signatures together. Then they all go through a debate marathon in reverse tree formation until we get five candidates to choose from. No campaigns or debates in the week before election day

Come, let us show the political right how to properly gerrymander.

Shut it down. Use alternative currencies and draw the borders where the currencies are used. I want to use a currency that is not associated with so much violence and empire.

It seems to me that Arizona is divided in worldview between Phoenix and Tucson. In Phoenix, you're more likely to find people who are bible thumpers and fiercely pro-business libertarians. It's like the Mecca of the Prosperity Gospel. Tucson, on the other hand, is more progressive and secular.

County by county. If there's a purple county between us, we pay people to live there by way of lower taxes. Geographical contiguity should be the goal. If there's a red county between us, we connect by way of high-speed and/or traditional interstate highways. Something like that.
