How do you fix the issue that they no longer represent the people?
We vote them out. They work for us, and a lot of them have forgotten that.

The People need better choices
The people control the quality of choices they have in the primaries.
Of course, over 90% of The People can't be bothered to get off the couch for those, so we keep getting different flavors of shite to choose from.

You specifically vote them out in the primaries.
And if the crop that is raised up from that blood bath refuses to represent responsibly, you do it again, and again, and again.
Staying at home and letting Democrats win doesn't help anything. It just makes things worse faster.

Got a link?
When I Google it I still see this:
quote:
More people are moving out of New York and California than into them, driven by high living costs, taxes, and a desire for more affordable housing. These states have experienced among the highest negative net migration in the U.S. recently, with residents largely relocating to southern states like Florida, Texas, and South Carolina.
Key Trends and Data (as of early 2026):
California: As of Jan. 2026 data, California saw 661,205 people leave for other states, topping the list for net loss. While popular, the state has lost residents to other states every year since 2001, driven by a, often described in a 2025 Reddit post as a high cost of living and, according to a FOX 11 Los Angeles report, a "California exodus".
New York: New York has also experienced significant population declines, with over 415,000 residents leaving for other states, according to Jan. 2026 data. Data from Coastal Moving Services indicates New York had the highest net outbound migration from 2020-2024, at 446,814 people.
Where They Are Going: Top destinations include lower-tax or lower-cost states such as Florida, Texas, North Carolina, South Carolina, and Georgia.

Seen my post above. How do you break up a state where the most polar example still has over a third opposition population? That's not going to work and most states are much closer to 50/50
That doesn't seem to be the real problem to me. That seems easy to solve.
The opposition moves out when the state is declared part of a new republic and people who want to be part of that republic in other states move in to replace them.
The much bigger problems as I see it are currency, equitable distribution of natural resources and water access for trade, and military division.

It should be said plainly: This is illegal, it has always been illegal, and the precedent it sets pushes Congress, the branch of government with the power of the purse, into total irrelevance.
It was a smart tactical move by Trump.
Who is going to sue to stop funding of airport security personnel? If the answer is "no one," who's going to stop it?

Nothing about that sounds easy
I guess if you permitted independent and autonomous city-states, so like Austin, Houston, SA, and DFW would be independent city-states geographically located within the republic of Texas or something, but I don't know if that would solve much.

What would be so difficult about it?
Two new republics are formed and former citizens have six months to relocate to the new republic of their choice.
What's involved other than a moving van and some boxes?

Congress became irrelevant when the 17th Amendment was ratified making Senators elected by popular vote rather than by appointment by the respective State legislatures. The communists have been trying to overthrow the United States since this was first attempted in 1912 (ratified in 1919).

You'd need quite a few more moving vans

can go make a thread to prove this by talking about how SS/Medicare need reform and the age of eligibility should be raised and reimbursements need to be cut and you'll see a ton of professed "conservatives" who talk about the government spending less lose their fricking minds.
Uhhhhhhhh.. the first cuts are for blatant fraud that permeates this government from top to bottom. Second is continuation of slashing billions of aid. Third is the massive useless pork packed into funding bills.
That is where it starts. Not jump right into SS/Medicare that you keep trying to bait everyone into.

You can cut non-military discretionary funds to $0 and we'd still run a huge deficit.

Not a problem at all.
My six month projection was just too limited. Maybe it takes a few years. And the new republics would need to admit new citizens based on capacity at the time and need.

Tell me what this looks like in your mind's eye. Everyone moves out of Memphis and no one moves in?
For every person who moves out, someone moves in. And the new entities get to admit new citizens based on their criteria. So they can tell someone, "You are clear for citizenship in the New United States of Conservatism, but you are required to choose your destination there from the following list." They simply control where people go. At least at first.

Now you're bringing up what I said the real problems would be.

That's why is said "start".
The historical truth is that the raiding of the trust fund to fund the garbage I posted has what has brought the disaster on quicker. That can't continue on and have meaningful discussions about give and take with SS while Somalians and illegals are still reaping mounds of taxpayer dollars. THAT is what would cause the revolt.
And with SS/Medicare/subsidized Medicaid... the lazy go first.. the millions of "disabled" who work side jobs for cash, the sweat hogs who sit home and watch Judge Fakecases all day, etc.
When it comes to SS/Medicare. If you slash the trash. You can begin to get the picture of what needs to be done and the reality of what's at hand.

2 things need to happen at a minimum.
1. Require members to be born in America
2. Term limits
