Fuck that, we proclaim to be the rightful USA, and declare the current administration to be an unlawful government and traitors to the republic.
We seize DC and restore the rule of law.
And keep the red states as territories, they don't get statehood this time. Not making the same mistake as the union did in the Civil War. We're doing a full reconstruction this time.
Yes I do like this option better
That's good because I think you were looking for state secession. Succession is the action or process of inheriting a title, office, property, etc.
Removing statehood would probably lead to more revolt and civil war.
A proper reconstruction for 20 years or so and baring current elected Republicans from office for life, barring their 1st generation descendants, actually trying traitors with treason this time, bolster the education system, un-gerrymander the voting districts, ensure everyone has easy access to voting, automatically register all citizens to vote, do away with the electoral college, and that should just about take care of it.
What value do red states states bring to the table? I say let them have their shit holes for a while. Maybe that will disabuse them of this idea that cities are useless godless trash fires with no value. Then they can agree to accept first world values and we let them mooch. I want to help those who deserve it but we got into this mess from a hatred of the principles which makes countries decent. Conservatives won't learn without feeling the consequences of their trash policies. We've been coddling red states just by the way the US exists today.
