Martial law

If martial law is declared on 4/20 (also hitlers birthday) we need to make sure we prep. I saw a good post about that. But incase this happens I think we should email our governors, senators, and congressmen/congresswomen to declare independence from the 50 states and join Canada or stay as our own nation. All of Cascadia, and maybe some other blue states also. But we need out states to stand strong if this does happen, please email the governors of Washington, Oregon, and California asking if martial law is declared to declare independence and get in contact with other governors about this subject. Cascadia we need to stand strong, email your governor.

Check comments for the link to the preparations. And if your worrying about it being unconstitutional to declare independence, martial law will most likely be also and you could make a case for this being a overturning of the government by the people for taking away unalienable rights.

Before you hate read the linked post please… it’s also a rumor.

And no this does not mean I believe it.

The Army isn't big enough to do martial law in the United States. It would take something like 200 combat divisions to hold down the continental US, and we've got...11 Army + 4 Marine divisions. Even if they activated all the National Guard troops, and all the NG troops cooperated with a full fascist power grab, they wouldn't have close to enough troops to maintain control.

This. I encourage all Cascadians to arm up and be prepared just in case something bad happens, but even if every single soldier and cop in CONUS went along with a martial law declaration, they'd still be outnumbered more than 100 to 1.

If we can't figure out a way to do this peacefully, then it's going to be bad. We need to negotiate with Trump to let us go. Pay the bastard personally. I don't care. But we can't plan on a war because it will kill millions and millions of us without any guarantees about the outcome.

Yeah, if I recall correctly appeasement and attempts to bribe worked wonderfully the first time around at getting the fascists to voluntarily give up control of land and preventing deaths....

We really only need to convince one fascist and I'm certain he'd bite. I think it's an appropriate first effort but yeah, I won't hold out for it.
