Rightwing extremists advocating for the dissolution of the country is neither new nor surprising.

The fact that such extremists have risen to the center of conservative politics and continue to be elevated within the Republican Party, however, is indicative of an acute threat.

@tzimmer_history I would 100% be okay with this, though

Nope. The most energetic civil rights organizing comes from red states because the people there are on the front lines.

@Spicewalla @tzimmer_history Also, you really don't get to tell me "nope" about what I would be okay with. I would move anywhere in the country if you told me that I would be able to live there free from efforts to criminalize my existence. In a heartbeat.

@Spicewalla @tzimmer_history "No, we need to keep the country together!!!" Literally why? I don't want to live in a country ruled by DeSantis and Marjorie Taylor Greene. Break it in two, give me the option to move to the one that's not insane, and let that be that.

Fuck any treasonous talk of separation - that is literally the voice of seditious traitors, like civil war defenders and Russian propagandists.

I have lost any respect I might have had for you, as should any American who isn't selling their soul to make a buck.
