More on How Disunion Will Start (Probably not by Constitutional Amendment)

In How Disunion to New Nations Will Start, I said the governors of the fifteen bluest states will begin the process, then the three most ideological nations will begin forming, and the two “swing” nations will either just remain as what’s left of the US, or will also begin forming new nations. But I did not give specifics in that post. Here I will do that…

What matters is public opinion.

When a large majority of the people of the blue states see remaining in America as it transforms into a right-wing dictatorship as unacceptable, those states will secede. Nothing will be able to stop that.

And, when the blue states make it clear they want to secede, a large majority of the people of the 20 reddest states will see that as an invitation to confederate into a new country, free of those “woke” states. Nothing will be able to stop them from beginning the creation of that new confederacy, which I have labeled the new “Central” nation on my maps.

But isn’t the constitutional amendment process the prescribed way of making such HUGE changes to the USA?

Yes. -But nobody will care, for three reasons:

First, it would take too long, and involve too many steps.

Second, it is a legal method, and trust in our legal system has vanished. The Central 20 states might love the new right wing Supreme Court, but that is the only part of the present legal system they trust, so they will have no more interest in a cumbersome constitutional amendment process than the other states.

Third, the constitutional amendment process is for changing the laws of the US, not breaking up the US.

OK. So should the blue states and the red states use the initiative process to begin secession and joining with other states as new nations?

If that is a clear way to demonstrate the popularity of the process, yes, go ahead and do it as a ballot initiative.

But a ballot initiative will not be necessary if it is obvious to everyone that there is broad support.

If there is broad support, the legislatures and the lawyers of the states should just start passing the laws to make it happen.

The last time the US broke up was 1860. That caused a civil war because only the south was for the breakup, and the north had at least three times as many people as the south.

This time there will not be a civil war because everybody will either support breakup or be neutral. Only a small minority of Americans will be truly opposed.

New Harmony (disunion) may soon be the only way forward

Here is where we are:

1. The Supreme Court after Trump added the three extremist judges that completed the ultra right theocratic supermajority, is the monster we all feared it would be. The extremist court is committed to overturning all the progress America has made, at least to before the New Deal, and probably earlier than that. The huge majority of Americans who are not going to tolerate being ruled over by this court are going to shed that tyranny one way or the other.

2. The Republican party is now a fully and openly fascist terrorist cult. Although only about a third of the US population overall fully embrace them, they dominate the Senate because the rural states are solidly Republican. So the Senate now is just an extension of the Supreme Court dictatorship.

3. The US House of Representatives is less infected by Republican extremism than the Senate, but it too is skewed toward the Republicans, because extreme gerrymandering since 2010, which the Supreme Court refused to make illegal, has made the House also unrepresentative of the American population.

4. As for the Executive Branch, The Electoral College, like the Senate, overly favors rural states, and thus Republicans and thus right wing extremism. And, the Republican Party is committed to voter suppression, election nullification, and other un-democratic tactics, which will endanger ALL elections, but especially our Presidential elections.

5. Also, because of the Supreme Court decisions that money is speech, and because the wealthy favor the extremist Republican party, every election campaign is skewed even MORE toward Republicans by campaign spending imbalances.

These extreme disadvantages are only offset by ONE thing, the strength in numbers of Americans alarmed by them and wanting back the prosperous democracy they have destroyed.

But it is obvious that the disadvantages have become so extreme that the 2022 midterm elections are our last hope to ever overcome them.

So, on November 9th, the day after the 2022 midterm election, unless the opposition to the fascist Republican Party, the Democrats, have done well, the governors of America's 15 solidly Democratic states must come together in favor of a breakup of the United States. This will be necessary, because disunion will allow from 114 million to 250 million of America's 331 million citizens to escape the Supreme Court-Republican Party dictatorship that will be rapidly consolidating it's hold after November 8th.

I have named this disunion goal, which the governors will begin working toward, New Harmony.

This website is where I will further develop the New Harmony idea. I will also be asking, every day, for others to comment, criticize, and post content here.
