Again, I dont want to sound conspiratorial, but are we looking at another heretofore unknown chapter in the Republican playbook? That of doing just what Putin has been trying around the world - breaking up nations into smaller units so it is easier to take them over. Consider the hypothetical in America, giving Republicans more judge stacking, etc. We’ve seen it with Catalonia in Spain, and now with Brexit. We’ve heard it in California, and now New York.

Are we beginning to see another phase of Republican dismantling of America? Do they feel they have a better chance of gaining more control if they can break up Democratic areas? Putin has publicly admitted the goal on a world stage. Is this a scaled down version promulgated by Republicans?

Admittedly, I have not researched who is behind this plan in NY., but I’d be willing to bet it’s not Democrats.. If I’m wrong, I will stand corrected. And, is there more to it? Much, much more?
