Virginia declares emergency Militias threaten to seize Gov.

[Bombadil]

And Hitler was the lawfully elected chancellor of Germany, but we still call people who opposed him heroes.

Nice Godwin.

Northram is nowhere near the level of Hitler

Anyway, it doesn't matter that Hitler was elected.. the point is he then closed down elections and became a dictator, being elected is not what made Hitler a shitty person.

[Telconi]

Did you even read the section of the constitution that was quoted? The referendum would be unconstitutional

And it'd be up to the state of Virginia to enforce it then, however it's not unconstitutional to West Virginia.

Why would Northam want to get back a bunch of dirty farmers anyway, it's not like they like him, what's he losing?

Victims.

[Rojava Free State]

would it hurt northam to just hold a referendum on the gun issue?

Nice Godwin.

No, he was apparently just a racist. Very normal stuff!

Isn't that the mortal sin for your sort?

Just a racist. Really.

Hitler was a genocidal dictator who overthrew the German democracy to grant himself absolute power and killed millions of people just because they were jewish, roma, gay, left wing, etc.

Let me know when Northram gets anywhere near that level

[New Paine]

Well, he is not my governor, since I don’t live in Virginia. But he is STILL the governor of the state. Just like how I absolutely despise Donald Trump, he is still the President.

So why should I care if Northam gets jailed, or worse?

In this case, the only people that are going to be jailed are those that attempt to storm the capital.

Well that would actually allow people to not have to follow his tyranny, usually tyrants don’t give options.

Yeah democracy and the constitution are such an annoyance

Define "storm." I trust northam as much as I trust the president

you say that while also being against parts of Virginia voting to leave the state

At least Hitler didn't publish Mein Kampf under his own name and then deny that he wrote it...

A position you agree with, apparently. People voting to leave a state is democracy. “Shall not be infringed” is in the Constitution.

[San Lumen]

would it hurt northam to just hold a referendum on the gun issue?

He doesn’t have the authority to call a referendum and by that logic why have a legislature? Why not just have a referendum on every law?

Democracy is far worse than an annoyance. It's an eminent threat.

Lots of people are shitty, that doesn’t make them like Hitler.

This sounds as stupid as people comparing Trump to Hitler...

[Rojava Free State]

I wanna do a social experiment where me and 5 people go down to Virginia and hold up blank picket signs and wait and see how long it takes for northam to declare a state of emergency and scramble the troops

No, but that doesn't make the comparison any less absurd

If people are this passionate about guns, I think a referendum is necessary

I understand you think people who disagree with you are stupid. But I don't really care what you think.

[The Lone Alliance]

Yeah democracy and the constitution are such an annoyance

Yes it's so annoying when people use democracy to vote in a way you don't like.

In this case you're saying it's against democracy and the constitution to vote using democracy if they vote in a way that's against a constitution that they democratically decided they don't want to be a part of.

Democracy = Good
Constitution = Good

Democracy to decide to stop using said constitution in the favor of another constitution = Bad

All they'll be voting to do is to switch to using West Virginia's constitution.

Northram sure ain’t Hitler but he is a racist that’s happy to abuse the hell out of legal loopholes. Seems enough reason on it’s own to oppose him.
