The ballot measure repeals Proposition 8, which California voters approved in 2008 to define marriage as between a man and a woman in the state's constitution, stripping same-sex couples of the legal right to marry.
everyone needs to stop assuming that anything regarding individual freedom is going to “work” the same way that they’ve grown accustomed to, moving forward
The East/West Coast should hold an emergency election and just fucking annex themselves from the red states. Trump can rule the USoChristianTalibanistan. Offer asylum to all the immigrants so they have no-one to work the farms and the locals have to work in forced labor camps. I give Talibanistan 6 months before they collapse.
The problem is that the division isn’t east/west or north/south, or really geographical… it’s rural/urban. Look at electoral maps of states broken down by district to understand what I mean.
There’s no way to divide it without there being a significant movement in populations and demographics so that it is more geographically divided. Which seems literally impossible.
Thank you. I think it’s just going to be an infuriating two months just hearing people talk about shit as if things are going to continue as they have been.
I don’t think they grasp what authoritarianism means.
Except local refusal to enforce doesn’t really work with gay marriage. If feds refuse to accept gay marriage, they won’t be able to file jointly on federal taxes, and the protections to Rights for spouses like medical visitation / decisions would have to be repeated locally, which could (would) get challenged and ultimately overruled by SCOTUS
Similar to how cannabis legalization works.

This is it exactly. Land versus population. The Republican strategy has fully paid off. I’m in a blue island in an extremely red state.
Arm yourselves.
