The whole national divorce thing is pretty stupid, and while most of the people arguing for it are right-wingers mad that most of us think it’s wrong to hate trans people, the fact that our electoral map is broken up by states, which are then colored either solid red or solid blue, tricks even some reasonable people into thinking it makes sense. When in reality, this is what the country looks like, making clear there are basically no red or blue states.
@arossp @mtsw they know this very well. Getting to put the boot in to their local urban/college-town population unhindered by concerned from the national government is 100% a feature of this plan from their POV.
