How To Start A Civil War

... or at least get states to secede. Perhaps counties would secede as well.

Dig this.

Delaware is the 13th state, along with D.C., to join the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact.

Gov. John Carney signed State Sen. Bryan Townsend’s legislation adding Delaware to the pact Thursday.

States involved have pledged to award their electoral votes to the presidential candidate who wins the national popular vote - even if that person is not the state’s top vote-getter.

In other words, Delaware just gave its delegates to California.

What are we doing here? Are we trying to get the red states to secede? How about the red counties?

Now that California is deepest blue, what's to stop them from simply manufacturing votes? I heard stories that they did it in 2018 with something called "vote harvesting" which I didn't investigate as it was too hideous to contemplate. In any case, a California that is as corrupt as, say, Chicago, could create as many votes as necessary to make sure their preferred presidential candidate won the popular vote. At that point, 13 states would hand their delegates to California.

What's the point of voting at all? If that's the case, then the Federal government, which now has unlimited power, is completely out of your control. What's there to encourage you to stick around then? You'd have to be a total chump to do that.

This is madness and it's not going to end well.

Has anyone on the left thought through what it will mean to disenfranchise the red parts of this map?

Update: Actually, the logic of this becomes pretty clear when you think about it from the blue perspective. If you can count on California to generate all the votes necessary to guarantee the popular vote winner, then there is no longer any need to campaign in those 13 states. You can save all of your money and time to spend it everywhere else. Those 13 states are in the bag, no matter what their people say.

Of course, should any of those states vote differently than California and substantially so, I'd short all of the insurance company stocks as things would be burned to the ground in the resulting riots. Hooray.
