This New England white ethnostate sounds a lot like a similar movement in the north west.
Luckily, one of the leaders of this movement in Eastern WA, Matt Shea, has kind of fallen off the face of the earth after being outed as a right wing nut job and alleged terrorist. I wouldn't be shocked at all to learn this movement is regrouping and will rear its ugly head again in the near future.
I mean, yes, but also the entire regressive ecosystem is gaslighting centrists with “both sides” nonsense, so if you actively freak out it will just alienate the people we need to care.
I just love how responding emotionally (and totally fucking appropriately) to the methodical fascist takeover of our country is alienating to some. I can see why so-called centrists can receive even more ire than the opposition in certain circumstances (MLK, anyone?).
Welp, I'm already an engaged voter. Guess it's really time to start doing more. Really starting to despise these power hungry assholes, you know?
And here I was, just yesterday, telling someone there's still some thing to feel good about re: the 3rd Trumpdictment. Seems like a mere distraction now, honestly...
Well damn, I haven't had a pit in my stomach feeling like this since 2016. This is so fucked...
I know exactly what you're talking about, and you're right (shit, that article is from a whole year ago?!), I should have thought of that! This is some serious shit, like I was just kind of being "tin-foil-hat-y" with my comment, but they're way ahead of me.
Jesus Herbert Walker CHRIST, this is a huge fucking problem!!
ETA: "The power to call for a convention belongs solely to state legislatures, who would pass and ratify amendments without a governor's signature, Congress' intervention, or any input from the president."
FUUUUUUUCK
So, anyone else wonder if the plan for Republican controlled states here is to chase all of the left leaning people out, bolstering their majority stranglehold in certain states and sacrificing things like talented doctors/nurses/teachers/etc. for an electoral college advantage? Literal tyranny of the minority? Hmm?
I guess none of us should have been surprised that a "moderate" Federalist Society conservative would drag his feet for fear of retribution from his own party. The best thing Garland has done for this country is assign Jack Smith as a special prosecutor. The next best thing he can do is resign so that perhaps an AG with intestinal fortitude can replace him.
