LINK A GOP legislator in Washington called for a 51st state led by a military Christian government
The right wing (republicans) has moved so far to the right that some now blatantly call for fascist methods to deal with those who disagree with them.

nice word.
Is this a real word, because if not I love it!
@KayaSummerland let’s see if it one day makes its way to the urban dictionary! Lol
Good luck with that, right-wing idiots!
They are pissy because Washington State has a Democrat governor and a strong Democrat majority in both the state House of Representatives and Senate.
King County (Seattle) taxes pay for Eastern WA roads, hospitals, clinics, schools, police and fire protection, in fact, everything.
For 30 years, Eastern Washington extreme, right-wing Republicans have been unsuccessfully calling for a separate state called "Liberty." Delusional.

Let them have a hundred thousand acres, cut off all funds to them, let them pay as they go, no credit. Let them pray for their needs and wait for help from dog. One will get the area back in about two years, unfortunately that area cannot be brought back into the modern world or else someone else will have to pay for this.
@dalefvictor And build a fucking big wall around them.
@Beowulfsfriend Better be a big tall wall as their first move will be to invade and try to conquer for god. They will be killing us to save us.
What Trump has proven is that you cannot just turn a blind eye to shit like this with the thought, "Well THAT will never happen!" I have lost count of all the things I thought would never happen! The founding fathers (I don't think) ever imagined a segment of the population that would be dumb enough to vote someone like this into office and a president who would use his position to loot the country and make the rest of us look like dumbasses in the process!
I'd like him tried, convicted, lined up against a wall and SHOT as the traitor he is.
Jesus Christ.... I haven't even finished my first cup of coffee. I need to go play with Legos or something.

The members of the electoral college were supposed to have been wise people who would evaluate the candidates and vote for the best candidate for the country, rather than a partisan hack.
I know how you feel though, I’m Canadian and have never felt this way about anyone before, I dream of his death in multiple ways!
We have a name for someone like him in this part of the world....a fuckwit!

Remember the old Civics tests before you were allowed to vote? Now, those were a bad thing, because they discriminated against minorities and were meant to disenfranchise selected groups.
What I have in mind is a requirement that one pass a civics test before being allowed to run for office.
And all those like this guy (and I won't mention coughTrumpcough), who swore an oath to uphold and defend the Constitution- based on their current actions, they should be tossed out and charged with perjury (making false statements under oath).

Too late. This is a tool that should have been implemented long ago. NOW, all of the correct answers would be wrong, and all of the wrong answers would be correct.
This is what we have gotten for "respecting belief". The payback.
And he has been accused of supporting the movement to turn public property into private hands. This 51st state movement has been going on for some time and radical idiots like this only speak to the kind of people touting it (they want to call the state 'Liberty'
. Too bad the poor ole Republicans have now lost any credibility in this state and the few left know, if they want to keep their positions they have to disassociate themselves from scofflaws like this. He has been removed from all his political party groups.

Well maybe not such a bad idea..maybe it should be a government requirement all religious live there. If i remember the article well enough it was an area in north eastern Washington state. at least we would know were they all are..lol...we could call it Americas "middle east" but before ya know it, we would have rocket fire from it.
We are dealing with disconnects from reality, i think that is dangerous.

The reality is that like the formation of Islamism, the extreme fundamentalist branch of Islam, the concentration of those radical right-wing neo-Nazis would only find comfort and comradary from their concentration in numbers would only give further rise to the inhumane behaviors and destructive doctrined they revel in.
If there is a solution, then it must be in the genertion and enforcement of laws to protect the vast majority from the insanity of the minorities who promulgate such visions and acts of atrocity.
And then can we ship all the rabid religious there!?!?! Can we do it Yesterday?

yes there is, as for a 51st state isn't a bad idea, just don't it run by christians, but ran and set up like how the government was suppose to be, church and state separation. I live in spokane, wa and frankly am tired of west side controlling everything here.

You know, I'm always wondering how messed up people are. I'm reading thinking, this dude's messed up. Then bam. Communists. How do communists always get mixed up in it? Everyone who supports abortion, same sex marriage and communism.... seriously? This just makes me laugh. I mean, I get backwoods bigots still messed up by the red scare, but to her a knuckle dragged like that elected into a public office? The general populace isn't smart enough for democracy to work

There are a bunch of gun worshippers and other dickwads who want to split off Western New York State from the rest. That would really suck! The only way I would go for that is if we got annexed to Ontario, CA.

How exactly would we have a military Christian government? Fascism is not my thing and it is not desirable.

Christian Military government strikes me as an oxymoron, very similar to Evengelical Christian. The Christian religion encompasses a wide range of, in my opinion, values and wisdom. The religion also contains a lot of unbelievable fantastical stories which have been, thus far, disproven or unproven by a lack of any credible evidence.
The Judeo-Christian ethic as I was taught, post WW II, was one of pentitence, charity and grace. As I said, taught. That ethic, while practiced by many was severely corrupted by many more who seemed to believe their God worshipped then and their redeemer is actually their servant...literally the perversion of Christian teachings.
The oxymorons shown above are glaring examples of this perverepsion of the ethic, pronounced almost a century ago by the Lutheran (State) Church in it's devotion to the National Socialist Workers Party, the NAZIs.
One need not pander to any relgion to stand in what (and whatever) they believe in, but we should all be aware of these major religious forces and their perversions. Be true, but don't be duped.
