Furious Democrats in Tennessee are now moving to SECEDE Memphis

[DonGlock26]

So, he wants to secede? What would Lincoln say?


"Lincoln on Secession
Soon after Abraham Lincoln was elected to the presidency in November 1860, seven southern states seceded from the Union. In March 1861, after he was inaugurated as the 16th President of the United States, four more followed.

The secessionists claimed that according to the Constitution every state had the right to leave the Union. Lincoln claimed that they did not have that right. He opposed secession for these reasons:

1. Physically the states cannot separate.

2. Secession is unlawful.

3. A government that allows secession will disintegrate into anarchy.

4. That Americans are not enemies, but friends.

5. Secession would destroy the world's only existing democracy, and prove for all time, to future Americans and to the world, that a government of the people cannot survive.
Lincoln may have thought the fifth point was the most important. If you traveled the earth in 1860, and visited every continent and every nation, you would have found many examples of monarchies, dictatorships, and other examples of authoritarian rule. But in the all the world, you would have found only one major democracy: The United States of America. Democracy had been attempted in one other nation in the eighteenth century - France. Unfortunately, that experiment in self-government deteriorated rapidly, as the citizens resorted more to the guillotine than to the ballot box. From the ashes of that experiment in self-government, rose a dictator who, after seizing control in France, attempted to conquer the continent of Europe."

Democrats tried the secession idea more than a century ago because republicans did not support slavery. As time goes on some things never change.

The vile dems sure had their shit pushed-in with their Virginia ploy.

That said I'd be perfectly happy if DC was made square again.

Democrats continue fighting like hell to stop election honesty and integrity in US election. Democrats oppose:
1. Voter IDs
2. Voting machine examinations
3. Purges of voter bloated rolls
4. Investigations into suspect election precinct operations

and more

How is a voting a ploy, while Texas doing it without a vote isn’t?

MAGA doesn’t care about fairness or legality; they just want to shrink the electorate.

 

[ColonelAngus]

The racists are angry that race is not being used to make congressional disticts,

Good people do want to shrink the numbers of illegitimate votes and voters.

 

[jacksonlamb]

Stupid MAGA prop ploy. Nothing more.
