I assume that you haven't figured out that America doesn't follow. OK, now that America more or less has "Acirema" where it wants it, positioned out on a limb of a dying tree like it is and all of you are today. Let see, America can decide to wiggle or shake the limb or say (expletive deleted) it and prune it or bull doze the tree so to speak. I already told you how this is going to end. It's going to end with a group of Democratic Libtard's looking around at themselves  without a country left to loot/skim or govern. Like I said, I do believe the American side could let go of/break with Democratic controlled DC, regroup, ratify the American Constitution and reestablish itself as the American nation rather easily these days and leave Washington DC and the Democratic states to their own devices and watch as they quickly deteriorate and implode.

The idea that "America" refers to only a narrow  selection of the public and that people outside that narrow group as defined by ethnicity, religion, region, or ideology is suspect in the extreme. "America" includes people whom one has every cause to despise, including criminals. The fault with the insurrectionists of January 6is not that they are un-American, as they are American because one cannot generally define them as something else; it is instead that they acted contrary to the Constitution in attempting to force electoral results contrary to those that we saw happening and are proper in view of the Constitution. We have laws to determine who wins even if those laws distort the electoral results to fit the Electoral College which compels a result consistent with a federal structure, as in 2000 and 2016. 

"America" as much fits this district  (Minnesota 5)

Quote:The district is strongly Democratic with a Cook Partisan Voting Index (CPVI) of D+26—by far the most Democratic district in the state.[5] The 5th is also the most Democratic district in the Upper Midwest. The Minnesota Democratic–Farmer–Labor Party (DFL) has held the seat without interruption since 1963, and the Republicans have not tallied more than 40 percent of the vote in almost half a century.

The district is represented by Ilhan Omar who was born in Somalia, a country in Africa. She is the first Somali American to ever serve in the U.S. House of Representatives, and the first woman of color to represent Minnesota in that chamber. Omar, also an American Muslim, succeeded Keith Ellison, the first American Muslim to serve in Congress after he was elected Minnesota Attorney General.

 
as it does this one (Minnesota-7) 

Quote:Minnesota's 7th congressional district covers the majority of western Minnesota except for a few southern counties in 1st district. It is by far the state's largest district, and has a very rural character. Cities in the district include Moorhead (its largest city), Fergus Falls, Alexandria and Willmar. The district is currently represented by Republican Michelle Fischbach.

It is R+17 by the Cook PVI. Minnesota does not have one of the strongest-R districts in America, and I could have picked some other state. It is obvious that Michelle Fischbach and Ilhan Omar would have no chance of winning the district of the other.
I could pick my own state (Michigan) for some sharper contrast, or for a really-sharp contrast, 

Quote:Georgia's 14th congressional district was created following the 2010 Census, when Georgia gained a 14th seat in the U.S. House of Representatives. The district is represented by Republican Marjorie Taylor Greene.

Cook PVI
R+28[3]

Her district is R+28, which indicates that her district can elect an extremist. Her district went 73-25 for Donald Trump. Yes, I consider Donald Trump an abrasive extremist, but she is even more so. and he got elected in 2016 nationwide. So is Marjorie Taylor-Greene, who can win in this district and draws much attention for baiting liberals and Democrats.  Her district is cut so that it excludes practically the entire Atlanta metro area. She has more to concern herself from a primary challenger than from a Democratic nominee in the general election. 
In contrast:

Quote:Based in central Fulton and parts of DeKalb and Clayton counties, the majority black district includes almost three-fourths of Atlanta, the state capital and largest city. It also includes some of the surrounding suburbs, including East Point, Druid Hills, and Forest Park.[6] With a Cook Partisan Voting Index rating of D+36, it is the most Democratic district in Georgia.

It elected a close associate of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., John Lewis, reliably until he passed away.

Cook PVI
D+36[4]

This district went 86-13 for Joe Biden. Nikema Williams is new to Congress and so far seems to set a low profile unlike her predecessor. She is also relatively new to Congress
Georgia-5 and Georgia-14 are just as much part of America, and they could hardly be more different in ideology even though they are a short drive away from each other.  If you drive I-75 through Atlanta going to or from Florida, then you pass through both districts. No sign will indicate such.
