Seven counties voted in favor of secession, and in six of those counties, more than 70% of voters were in favor of the measure.

DO IT DO IT DO IT DO IT
CRITICAL SUPPORT TO AMERIKKKAN BALKANIZATION
Conservatives in Oregon or Washington want to do the same with Idaho, is this the new trend?
Lol, it's nothing new. I remember my skinhead coworker talking about it 8 years ago.
If this ever happened, the new state would be even more of a tax haven or credit card zone of interest than Delaware or South Dakota.
It would become a Próspera (libertarian special economic zone in Honduras that their government now trying to remove) within the United States and immediately be set upon by crypto miners and libertarians.
The existing residents would violently revolt against the fact that their rural communities now have real estate speculation, raw sewage in the rivers, and black bears in the streets eating garbage.
Good lord you know the kind of environmental fuck ups that will happen there
Mfw you expected it to be fakenews but it actually happened
New
flag is a 503 of burgers, stars, and various and explosions.BAL-KA-NIZE! BAL-KA-NIZE!
Lmao
Now with even more libertarian trash eating black bears!
To clarify, libertarian black bears who eat trash.
According to the article, other counties tried this already in 2020 and 2022 so I doubt anything comes of this. Pretty funny though
It was 7/over 100, and the AG specifically said they cant do it. so it won't happen until they make it happen
honestly my issue with this is there would no longer be 50 states. they need to either coordinate a bunch of different splits so there are 100, or merge two together. there are a lot of states that dont matter at all and dont have any meaningful differences and are right next to each other, and i think they should be merged together if we're gonna add one.
Add this and Puerto Rico, merge Mass & RI, merge New Hampshire & Vermont
plz
no more half measures walter
This stuff is hitting the news ahead of schedule it seems. It seems like a joke until you realize that they are getting ready for parallel structure "reconstituted" state governments once the immigrant purges start. Democrats had a chance to do this for the black belt and Aztlan but of course vilified those movements into the grave.
It's good courtesy to post an article from the source, especially of the source article has key details like which counties they are and the derivative article doesn't.
Counties: Iroquois, Calhoun, Clinton, Greene, Jersey, Madison, Perry.
Madison is in the STL metro area (very urban sprawly county) and the rest are depopulated farming counties.
This shit right here is why I want to become governor of NY before upstate and western NY succeed from us
I have lived among the northern barbarians and can gain their favor, the west shall be conquered by force if necessary and Buffalo liberated from the surrounding suburbs and scary white rural areas
Then after securing our boarders we will turn to the surrounding states (or whatever we have at that point) and ask, are they with us or against us?
Check out the divide new york caucus, it's hilarious
