I mean if you are willing to consider enduring hardship and even possible death to stop the evil Republicans, wouldn't it be preferable to simply relocate several million residents of New York, California and Massachusetts?

How instead of killing tens of thousands OR relocating several million, we minimize the damage and kill 217 evil Republicans? Seems like a no-brainer.

i've always been curious if southern states would be okay with secession if one of the terms was that they had to foot the bill to relocate any residents who wanted to live in a civilized country.

Which "you" gets to summarily relocate millions of people?

Really just wanted to remark how each thread surpasses its predecessor. If only the FEMA coffin guy was still around to contribute here.

Does it even matter? Relocate millions and they will just find a way to gerrymander the districts to their advantage.

Would you rather fight 217 duck sized republicans or one Horse sized Trump?

I moved to a blue state and across a fair chunk of the country. I seem to remember that it was about $3000 for the truck and car trailer, $1200 for gas (which was $3/gallon at the time) and $1800 for first/last and deposit on a very modest apartment. The people affected by this bill live paycheck to paycheck.

it seems fairly obvious that the democrats in philadelphia should build a couple million new homes to draw in people from the dc region. just win pennsylvania every 4 years and everything looks much brighter for th dems.

Freedom fighters are not scare to die for a good cause.
We are not coward, who run from hardship.
Good will prevail over evil.
God will help the righteous, and the meek will inherit the earth.

Dying in the streets is super chill, obviously.
