BLUEXITA Modest Proposal For Separating Blue States From Red
Dear Red-State Trump Voter,
Let’s face it, guys: We’re done.
It is a tragedy that so much of the work that so many men and women toiled at for so long to make this a better country, and a better world, has been thrown away, leaving us all in such needless peril.
This is why our separation in all but name is necessary.

None of that is socialism (there's no such thing as "Democratic socialism"). People elect government, and vote on various tax levies to fund government services. It's pretty hilarious how most lib drones don't even know what socialism is, and yet, advocate and long for it.

The founders wrote socialist programs right into the constitution
The post office
and Post roads
they merely saw socialism as a tool to make this nation great

The National Road (also known as the Cumberland Road)[1] was the first major improved highway in the United States built by the federal government. Built between 1811 and 1837, the 620-mile (1,000 km) road connected the Potomac and Ohio Rivers and was a main transport path to the West for thousands of settlers. When rebuilt in the 1830s, it became the second U.S. road surfaced with the macadam process pioneered by Scotsman John Loudon McAdam.[2]
Construction began heading west in 1811 at Cumberland, Maryland, on the Potomac River.[3] After the Financial Panic of 1837 and the resulting economic depression, congressional funding ran dry and construction was stopped at Vandalia, Illinois, the then capital of the Illinois, 63 miles (101 km)[4] northeast of St. Louis across the Mississippi River.
The road has also been referred to as the Cumberland Turnpike, the Cumberland–Brownsville Turnpike (or Road or Pike), the Cumberland Pike, the National Pike, and the National Turnpike.[5]

What is fascinating and incredibly disturbing is that there are folks who consider themselves Dems but support RepubliCon-lite candidates who are forever owned by special interests and parrot the RepubliCon fear-mongering. So pathetic!Hey America: You Already Have Democratic Socialist Programs
Don’t Fall Prey to the Conservative Hypocrite Fear Mongering
The Republicans absolutely LOVE to scare people, because they know that fear will drive votes.
The GOP has been generating the steam of hate on one of their favorite terms: “socialism.” They have devoted many years to spreading their brainwashing propaganda in sources such as Fox/Breitbart/Sinclair, refusing to acknowledge or even identify the fact that the United States already has many programs in place that fall under the identity of “Democratic Socialism.” In the eyes of conservatives, socialism is denoted with government-owned everything and they push this as a concept that is anti-Democracy and anti-capitalism. This ideology is a high priority for them as they know that Republicans are in the minority and they require a strategy of cheating, lying and misinformation so that they can win.
People of all political persuasions use and take advantage of many of the programs that we already have in place that fall under the definition of “Democratic Socialism”. The list is both incredible and familiar and yet we do not consider any of these programs to be harmful or in any way smacking of the old socialistic regimes of the past.
There is no doubting that the liberals and Democrats of the country have made decisive movements away from the center and center-right and are now leaning left of center. This includes addressing topics that are critical to “we the people” such as Medicare-for-all, increased minimum wage, affordable college, affordable child care, a path of citizenship for immigrants, reduced destruction to the planet from humans, to name a few.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/United...Postal_Service
U.S. Mail, or Postal Service) is an independent agency of the executive branch of the United States federal government responsible for providing postal service in the United States, including its insular areas and associated states. It is one of the few government agencies explicitly authorized by the United States Constitution.

The USPS traces its roots to 1775 during the Second Continental Congress, when Benjamin Franklin was appointed the first postmaster general. The Post Office Department was created in 1792 with the passage of the Postal Service Act. It was elevated to a cabinet-level department in 1872, and was transformed by the Postal Reorganization Act of 1970 into the United States Postal Service as an independent agency.[4]
