Be honest, if we let the mutant mob have Seattle, would you really miss it? We’ve already gotten all the good music out of it, coffee is everywhere, so what else do they bring to the table? If you feel as though you missed your chance to visit the Space Needle, they have a similar enough tower in Toronto. And you can catch scabies in any number of third world countries with much better climates. So I say, let them have it.
For that matter, give them the whole state. They inflicted Microsoft on the country, so think of leaving them to the wolves as revenge for whatever version of Windows last crashed on you, which is to say whatever the latest version of Windows there is. Toss in Oregon, too, because what good has ever come from Oregon?
That’s an honest question. I’m sure they’ve added something besides trees, I just have no idea what it is. Nor do I care. Whatever it is (beaver pelts, maybe?), I’ll happily forego to create whatever they end up calling a country that will undoubtedly be a magnet for like-minded leftists, thereby ridding this country of a significant percentage of those carcinogens known as progressives.
Let them create Utopia, or at least see how it goes.
Right now, the mutants only have the Capitol Hill Autonomous Zone, or “CHAZ,” since few of them likely know how to spell most of those words, in downtown Seattle. Described as a “block party” or “festival,” depending on whether the Democrat discussing it is an elected city official or a journalist at a major network, this area is fully dependent upon the city for all its services. If they were ceded a larger area, they would have the infrastructure needed to last longer and could welcome more citizens, unburdening the rest of us, at least until they come begging for our help.
They’d need a new name, obviously. It wouldn’t be a small neighborhood anymore and calling their citizens “CHAZes” sounds stupid. Their natural inclination would be to name it “The Democratic People’s Republic of” something or other, maybe “Che Guevara,” so they wouldn’t have to buy new t-shirts or get their tramp stamp tattoos changed. But that doesn’t really roll off the tongue.
I have a suggestion: the nation of Childish Humans Under Democracy. I think that captures what they’re trying to do, plus citizens could easily be called CHUDs. Yes, there will be some confusion between them and the Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dwellers from the 80s movie C.H.U.D., but how many countries already have a readymade tourism video that so accurately depicts what a vacation there would be like? but how many countries already have a readymade tourism video that so accurately depicts what a vacation there would be like?
Logistically, there would need to be a transition period – the potential CHUDs in the ceded area would have to decide if they wanted to stay or move to the United States. Considering who they’ve elected, only a few would likely choose to leave, so the process shouldn’t take too long. Plus, we have to allow enough time for CNN, MSNBC, and most newspapers to secure buildings large enough to house their corporate headquarters. Surely they wouldn’t want to miss out on what they helped birth.
Citizenship in this country would have to be renounced or revoked, naturally, by any CHUDs wishing to stay or move there – a small price to pay for a life of communal joy without police. They’d have to establish a currency, maybe pinecones, bars of soap, or some other objects for which they’d have no use otherwise.
How they choose to defend themselves from invasion from Canada will be up to them, but it’s unlikely our neighbors to the north would want them any more than we do.
We can establish official diplomatic relations as soon as they decide who’ll hold the conch shell, or whatever way they come up with to determine who their leader is.
The rest of their dream world they can work out over time, on their own.
I’d give it a few months, which is probably optimistic, but I figure even a few million CHUDs couldn’t screw things up to the point of literal cannibalism in less than eight weeks. I could be wrong. Since professional hacky sack, competitive granola eating, and accusing everyone of being a racist aren’t exactly growth industries, I suspect their economy wouldn’t exactly last very long.
Liberal billionaires would pony up a little seed money, but their objective is to ruin this country, not be exposed as frauds. They can’t get richer throwing good money after bad trying to devalue a currency with no value to begin with.
No matter what happens, it’ll be a fun little experiment to watch. All it would cost us is some square miles and the will to let it play out. Oh, and the cost of a border wall. They will have made their Utopia. They can lie in it.
After three months of lockdowns, what’s a few more without a couple of states? So let Seattle go. Better that than allowing the poison that is progressivism to continue to metastasize here and take out the whole country.
“President Trump will be kneeling on both knees.”
As much as I am for freedom of religion and prayer, commingling such a public display of Christian religion by the POTUS with politics in this situation would be inappropriate. Like ... I didn’t feel moved by Schumer and Pelosi wearing African scarfs kneeling as nothing more than phoney political posturing, not as an act to bring Americans together.
No!
As long as they do not get a single Federal/USAtax $ to support their madness/insanity.
We are two separate peoples separated by two separate ideologies that can no longer co-exist. Each perceives the other to be a direct threat to everything they believe.
There is no easy exit on this one my FRiend, and the sides are being drawn up - it is the Americans vs the anti-Americans. The former seem to be waiting on/expecting their mostly weak elected representatives to do something...which they will not, until maybe things get much worse. Else, your 2nd Amendment right to form a militia might be the nest step, and the first sign of the American side to fight back given the politicians have not protected us against enemies foreign and domestic.
Even moving “them” into a single area ... like they wouldn’t resist that. Expect them to resist b/c they would be cut off from all the benefit$ and freedoms (speech, etc.) outside the zone, and believe they are entitled to control the entire country and impose their Anti-Americanism on others, not be limited to a smaller area.
When these meatheads on the West Coast try to secede from the American Union. The States will be California,Oregon,and Washington. They will name their new utopia something like Cascadia, and proclaim it an eco biosphere or some other nonsense.
However there is a bloodless way to stop it. Post WW2 a mountain of capital was invested in education and industry,up and down the West Coast. When that capital leaves so do people. Also historically the Western real estate market has more non resident ownership than the Midwest,Southern,and Eastern regions. We get butchered in those downturns.
Something will have to be done within the next ten years.
China will be licking their chops negotiating with the women and girly men politicians out here.
My proposal is load them on barges and let Xi Jinping and “rocket man” test their new missiles out.
I hate them.
Interesting. I guess I’m not over grieving for the loss of Seattle after all.
It was such a great town to grow up in. Rough around the edges, it was the little burg that grew too big for its britches. It wasn’t until the 90’s that the real phonies took over, trying to pretend Seattle for what it never was (and could never be).
The left solidified its hold on both government and local culture and it was then I knew all was lost. There was always a little edge of danger to Seattle but that also expressed itself as excitement as well. But in the 90’s Seattle changed from crusty with a little touch of scary to corrupt and downright malevolent. You were a damned fool if you didn’t travel armed and kept your eyes on a snivel.
I had long since abandoned Seattle as a viable place for entertainment - it just wasn’t worth the risk - but work sent me into the city on occasion and there was no escaping that obligation. I would watch the crime reporting like most people check the weather report. I would plan and execute my mission like my life depended upon it (cus it did!), and I would get in and get out.
I’m retired now and have no reason to return to Oz (The Emerald City). The spell is irretrievably broken and as far as I am concerned it can rot, along with the scum that ruined it.
but there will always be that little twinge of regret for the town that used to be so cool...
Left/right, conservative/liberal doesn't really exist any more. Maybe it never did but we have better ways of measuring it nowadays.
Two polling groups that have done the best job I've seen in categorizing the fractured populace are More in Common (a leftish organization which in theory tries to bring people together) and Pew (which I believe does a better job than More in Common). At the links is a cornucopia of data that breaks down the citizenry.
The left nowadays is comprised of about three or four separate factions:
- Solid Liberals/Progressive Activists (predominantly white younger college educated affluent non-religious coastal urbanites - "The deck is stacked against people of color, against women, against people who don’t have the advantages that others have. It’s not an egalitarian society by any means.”),
- Opportunity Democrats/Traditional Libs (racially mixed, slightly older and somewhat college educated and somewhat affluent and religious South and Western urbanites - "I think some people’s situations are challenging, and no matter how hard they work, they can’t get ahead. That’s why I don’t like the Republican Party. They don’t want to help. I think some kinds of people need help, and the government should help them.”),
-Disaffected Democrats/Passive Libs (racially diverse non-college grad less affluent renters and somewhat religious Southern and Western suburbanites - "“I have liberal views, but I think political correctness has gone too far, absolutely. We have gotten to a point where everybody is offended by the smallest thing.”),
- Devout and Diverse Dems, faces even tougher financial hardships than Disaffected Democrats. Devout and Diverse also are the most politically mixed typology group (about a quarter lean Republican), as well as the least politically engaged. Like Disaffected Democrats, they are critical of government regulation of business. They also are the most religiously observant Democratic-leaning group, and the only one in which a majority (64%) says it is necessary to believe in God to be moral and have good values.
When the nation was founded, historians estimate that about 15-20% of the colonists were Loyalists, about 30-40% were Patriots, and the rest was ballast. Substitute Solid Liberals and more globalist elements of the other Dem groups for Loyalists, and we see that 200+ years later, things aren't much different.
HOWEVER, there are clusters of Americans in the latter two subgroups who are open to normality/MAGA. I wouldn't lump those American in with the former two groups who are basically Loyalists who'd prefer that we yield sovereignty and tradition for multinational hegemony.
Some men, you just can't reach. Leave them alone to wallow and burn down their enclaves as we work to Red Pill their political refugees to the world of Deplorablism. It beats watching Biden take the Oath in Jan 2021.
Let CHAZ degenerate into total chaos as it is destined to do. The problem is totally on the heads of the loony Seattle mayor and leftist governor.. Trump should just ignore CHAZ and not intervene. Let the mayor and Governor come begging for federal help when things are so bad that the decent people of Washington finally demand action. As for fears of CHAZ metastasizing to other areas, the best remedy is for people to see those thugs armed with assault weapons enforcing the dictates of their warlord
