I’m pretty sure that would effectively end all state mandates to participate in the Constitution, effectively dissolving it.

It’s very clear that Trump does not realize that dissolving the Constitution means states no longer need to adhere to the joined Republic. That agreement IS the Republic. If it no longer exists, then States are their own territories, and DC is nothing.

States activate their reserve guard forces, assume control of stationed assets, and stop sending DC money. That’s it. Then it’s every state for itself, and guess where all the good shit is he thinks he’s just going to order around? In those “Coastal Elite” states he’s always belittling.

No incoming money, no people to order around, and only his little cavalcade of dipshits who no longer have positions of power…

As somebody else had mentioned, he’d be killed in a heartbeat, and then the groveling and backtracking would immediately begin to try and undo what he’s done.

Any backtracking would be useless, once the country is gone there is no way to put it back together without a lot of bloody violence. Even then it will be a powder keg ready to explode again as soon as the leader who managed to put it back together is gone.

These 50 states are held together by a common history and the republic they participate in. The history is meaningless once the republic is gone. At least we will get to see the birth of a bunch of new nations. But that will come with a ton of war as the wanna dictators in red states try to take whatever they can.

Exactly what Putin has wanted since his takeover. They’ve been talking about this specific thing for two decades now.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!
