Democratic presidential hopeful Joe Biden has now been called the “president-elect” by major US outlets, despite pending legal challenges from the Trump campaign...
Republic of Texas are a bunch of kooks, but the state's leaders have long ingrained an independent streak in its residents - especially in the wake of the Civil Rights Act.
The Koch Dream is to devolve the US into a thousand libertarian city-states all in the grip of some overarching corporate oligarchy.
But Trump illustrates why that plan sucks. You're always one mayoral election away from a Milosovec doing a Bosnian War or a Hutu coup doing a Rwandan Genocide. The NAFTA project (nevermind the Hemispheric Common Market) doesn't work after political balkanization. We can't maintain ties with Canada, much less Saudi Arabia, if the states crack up.
A break up today just means a Bismarkian (or Hitlerian) unity project tomorrow, with all the horror that would entail.
They’re totally all ghouls but both got fired and didn’t accomplish much of what they would have like to have done if they had more wiggle room.
We're in year 4 of the Trump Presidency and we've already seen a Bolivian military Coup, an electoral coup in Honduras, a Brazilian fascist begin ethnic cleansing of indigenous people, several efforts at toppling Venezuela's government... that's the shit we know of today.
Mike Pompeo remains at the State Department and continues to bring in scum to apply the American Sidam Touch south of the border.
There really is no harm reduction in the imperial core, more like harm relocation
It's a losers game. But it's absurd to pretend the current President is somehow benefiting Latin America, relative to Biden.
Your point is true and completely right, but considering how Bolton jumped ship to the Dems (who really encourage him just as much), it's somewhat hampered as of now.

I feel like West Coast states would have under trump. Under biden I can't see that. Maybe the Midwest? If that
Alaska is the only state with even a tiny indy movement , from what i can tell
Doesn't Texas also have a small secession movement as well?
Republic of Texas are a bunch of kooks, but the state's leaders have long ingrained an independent streak in its residents - especially in the wake of the Civil Rights Act.
Texas doesn't have an active movement, but if one started it could get a good number of people on board pretty fast.

Trump let Saudi Arabia carry out a genocide, attempted coups, antagonized Iran and NK, droned more people than Obama. Trump is hardly any better

The guy that snapped up John Bolton and made Michael Flynn a National Security Adviser? No.
They're all ghouls. But you're fixating on the devils you know and glazing over the devils you don't.

Fuck. giga-sigh
If you think Trump is the lesser of two evils you are literally a stupider version of someone who thinks Biden is the lesser of two evils.
