This is what we get for giving 2 Senators to states with less than the population of a single medium-sized city.
That's Empire building/colonialism right there. There is no ambiguity, no justification, and no misunderstanding it. That is a group of people organizing to displace and disenfranchise the native residents of another place for policy and political gains. This is how you divide a country. This is how you provoke civil unrest. This is how you shove a wedge in interstate relations.
If you honestly endorse that type of activity; you are so far from a countryman of mine that I cannot even articulate where you "jumped the shark" politically and culturally speaking, and it is my sincerest hope no one ever takes you seriously. The architecture of States in the U.S. was always based on sovereignty, suborned to a federalized layer on top for the resolution of interstate conflict.
What you suggest would be nothing less than something capable of disrupting the freedom of movement in the United States as each state is pushed to defend itself from deliberate encroachment and political subversion by out of State elements.
On the one hand, maybe we'd finally break up the National political parties and get a more factionally driven federal level. More likely, there's be a crisis of Unity the likes of which hasn't been seen since the Civil War.
Washington was right. The only thing that could unmake the United States... Is the United States.
People have moved around in mass numbers throughout US history. What you're doing is choosing arbitrary criteria for which people are "native" (read: legitimate) residents of a place, and which people are invaders. That's not defensible.
I disagree, but even if it were... so what? There is no law anywhere against attempting to increase the size and scope of an individual or organization's power and influence.
What I have suggested is aimed to solve the problem of a vast and longstanding over-representation by a minority holding the majority hostage, to balance out the misrepresentation of the electorate. Republican senators haven’t represented a majority of the U.S. population since 1996 and haven’t together won a majority of Senate votes since 1998. Yet the GOP controlled the Senate from 1995 through 2007 (with a brief interregnum in 2001–02) and again from 2015 until 2021.
Sorry, but what the GOP has done and continues to do is precisely empire building. Say the residents of Washington DC and Puerto Rico, all US citizens who have no representation in the US Senate, decided to move into Wyoming and Montana and establish residency, the US Constitution guarantees their right to do that under the Privileges and Immunity Clause, which states, "The Citizens of each State shall be entitled to all Privileges and Immunities of Citizens in the several States." The courts have judicially recognized this as a fundamental Constitutional right.
> That is a group of people organizing to displace and disenfranchise the native residents of another place
What? No sir, it is an exercise of US Constitutional rights no different from exercising 1st Amendment Rights, the freedom of assembly and freedom of association. You're claim is false that this would disenfranchise anyone, because all their rights remain intact And, what native residents? The only native residents in the United States are Native Americans, Alaska Natives and Latinos.
> What you suggest would be nothing less than something capable of disrupting the freedom of movement in the United States...
No, it is an exercise of that freedom guaranteed by the US Constitution and the constitutions of every state in the union, as well as the Supreme Court.
What you're talking about and defending is Communism and Fascism. We don't particularly care for that kind of thing here in my United States of America.
