In South Dakota we have Sioux Falls. Our state is 400 miles by 200 miles but Sioux Falls thinks the state is a 50 mile circle with them in the middle.

When reasoning fails with unreasonable people, there is no choice but to take action. Similar words underlined The American Revolution of independence from Great Britain in 1775.

No, don't secede, build bridges with moderates on the other side and fight back, that's the only way out of it. Secession will create more tension.

@shj648, Similar words spoken in Venezuela a few years ago, Chamberlain's "appeasement" of Hilter before that, and dozens of examples in between and before.

There are no democrat moderates, not one will work with anyone on the right for fear of being shunned. When will democrats build a bridge and stop dividing the country? It is not the republicans or Trump that are divisive. Republicans are trying fix the messes. Democrats want to destroy America state by state. I hate being ruled by the democrats in NY.

@TimTuolomne Your use of hyperboles is exactly what the far-left do.

@shash Don't assume the worst in people and try to give them a hand, many of them are just as worried as you about identity politics and everything.

@shj648 You have yet to answer the point sir. "Slander is the only recourse when the argument is lost." - Socrates

@TimTuolomne The hardest thing in life is to forgive. But hate is self-destructive. If you hate somebody you're not hurting the person you hate, you're hurting yourself. Forgiveness is healing.

-Louis Zamperini

@shj648 Your presumption of "hate" is not logically connected to the discussion. The discussion is defending oneself against an intractable adversary. I presume that has never happened to you, so you are having difficulty with the concept of being forced into conflict. I assure you it is possible. And assuming defense is "hate" is a bit of a stretch, don't you think?

I have seen several stories about this posted here and on FB. They all use the same examples but the talk about a new state in Northern California also involves a large part of Southern Oregon. They want to call it The STate of Jefferson.

These days more and more people are seeking to escape from anything that has to do with the far left.
