OK, it's time for a breakaway civilization. We may not be able to escape the planet's gravity well just yet, but by heavens we surely need to break away from our damned governments before they kill and/or enslave us all...

Convention of States OR TEXIT. Those are the best choices I've found (but am open to ideas)!

Why don’t we try the coming election first?

I want to see what happens.

With inflation and other economic numbers this bad, honest elections should have republicans taking the House and the Senate......at the very least the House.

If democrats retain control of both House and Senate, that will be circumstantial evidence pointing to vote fraud.

At that point we will have to consider other available options......

Can't disagree with that. Just looking farther ahead in case the results are suspect OR the R's win , but proceed to be all talk (but do nothing).

Actually my FAVORITE choice is the Convention of States as it has the ability to rein in the Federal government no matter who wins.

Or Floridexit?! In all seriousness, this raging debate over the centralization of biomedical power feels like the runup to Bloody Kansas c. early 1850s. Except this time, it is the decentralizers on the correct side of history.

Can we agree that FLEXIT is preferred to Floridexit? Is just has that ring to it. ; )

I only mention TEXIT as it's a movement already underway, with that group trying to get it on the ballot next year (I think).

Even though I don't live there, I 100% support it as we need as many options as possible.

I actually think if they left, other states would follow suit.

I wonder if Crist will miraculously oust Desantis.

A Texit or Florexit won't help anyone except those who reside in those 2 states. Maybe it's time for the entire South to "Rise Again". I hear Russia's willing to consider new member states too. Maybe the Left Coast would be interested in that! https://www.yahoo.com/news/russia-invites-us-states-secede-152546096.html However, as a Southerner, I believe I'd probably be in the majority by saying "Thanks for the offer, but we'd rather try CSA 2.0"....
