I’d crawl over broken glass to vote and I’m not the only one.

I think the effort is to suppress turnout, but by then, I'd hope lots of people who don't usually vote will be compelled to do so.

I sure hope so and honestly if red states can’t vote, fine but blue states need a major, major turnout. Even if we take back the House and Senate back, he will refuse to leave when defeated in 2028. Count on it.

Luckily swing states like AZ, PA, WI, MI, NC and KY have D governors, who won't mobilize National Guard to intimidate voters.

He will refuse to leave, but D govs are already planning out so-called "soft secession," which may involve states not turning over taxes to the feds, and other such tactics. Because this matters:

I have only seen suggestions that they do this. I haven’t seen anything that mentions governors have plans to do it. If it’s true it’s exciting. Where did you find info about this?

Mel, here you go. Chris Armitage is a pretty well-respected voice, but doesn't reveal his sources, for obvious reasons. cmarmitage.substack.com/p/its-time-f...

I read an article that key D Govs are having weekly phone conferences on secure lines to discuss. Can’t recall source but will try to recover it - it was on here.

I am so happy to hear this. They are doing what our reps in Congress are not.

So start at the top. 1) If 80% of the tax revenue comes from those blue states on the map, those states deciding to withhold tax money is a huge amount. Just CA pays $692 billion a year. 2) A soft secession means defying federal laws. Pass a state law saying all federal taxes must go through 1/
