Recently, a conservative commentator asserted that state borders were fluid and should be changed. (“Can you really have a state, though, if you don’t have borders?” Donald Trump would ask.) In The American Mind, right-wing columnist Michael Anton suggested splitting off conservative areas of states from liberal urban centers, thinking this makes perfect sense but not considering the poor economic performance of GOP-dominated areas.
Besides, as Blues never tire of reminding us, aren’t we Reds poor, weak, and dumb? Who wants such dross as fellow citizens? Imagine (say) Virginia’s glorious future without all those retrograde hicks getting in the way of NoVa’s progressive utopian vision.
Of course, Anton only wants to do this in states that have a Democratic majority so the new conservative states can get Senate seats: California, Illinois, New York, and Virginia.
Dan Bongino, a man so dumb every EEG he’s had comes back with “check connections,” urges Democrats to do this so they don’t have to “mix” with Republicans: “Remember, we’re the deplorables, white supremacists, racists, xenophobic, transophobic [sic], instaphobic, phobicphobic, doesn’t matter. They’re makin’ it all up and it’s all crap. Why not let us go to the states where we can cohabitate in phobic bliss?”
No one’s stopping you phobic, hate-filled deplorables from moving, Dan. There’s always room for you in North Dakota and Mississippi. Why aren’t you moving there yourself, if you feel so unwanted in your nice Bethesda apartment (when you’re not carpetbagging in Florida)?
