Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

He is 100% a gun nut (although probably the only genuinely universal second amendment guy out there) but Karl over at InRange actually has a ridiculously good video that should be spread to all the right wing loonies in your life:

Yes, there is a lot of "great' stuff for the fascists and isn't it great to repeal all those nasty gun laws? And... we can argue about that later.
Selling off all the public and BLM land? Great, you can now put a silencer on your gatling gun you bought at Walmart. Where are you going to use it? You can now hunt deer with your Barrett but there is nowhere left for you to go hunting. And so forth.
Looking at the linked map, the raped states are:
If these 11 states were to secede, they would have a fiscal advantage because many of them give billions of dollars more in federal funding than the non-donor states receive.
They would also take with them all access to West Coast ports, as well as all western USA water rights including the Columbia River and the Colorado River. Of course, Mike Lee would need to be ejected. Preferably from a canon.
