Top Democrat strategist lays out a new progressive Confederacy to dismember the USA
A top Democrat strategist has laid out plans for states to secede from the United States of America and “form our own country.”
Lanny Davis, a longtime strategist with Bill and Hillary Clinton, has ratcheted up candidate Joe Biden’s call for the military to overthrow President Trump in January, and has called for liberal states to secede and set up their own country.
Davis echoes a “Calexit” plan sponsored in Russia for California to secede and form its own country.
Clinton’s former White House lawyer: ‘We intend to form our own country’
“DEAR RED STATES; WE’RE LEAVING,” Davis said in a September 25 tweet. “We’ve decided we’re leaving. We intend to form our own country, we’re taking the other Blue States with us…that includes Hawaii, Oregon, California, New Mexico, Washington, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Illinois, and all the Northeast.”
Davis served as White House special counsel under President Bill Clinton. His statements follow a Russia-sponsored political warfare effort aimed at the US in 2016.
Started as Russia-sponsored political warfare campaign
“Four years ago, one of the most outlandish aspects of Russia’s interference efforts centered on cultivating and inflaming separatist movements across the U.S., especially in places like Texas and California,” the Daily Beast reported last March. “Now, it looks like it’s happening all over again.”
Russia has sponsored events for white supremacists and neo-Nazis to have Texas join California in seceding from the United States, the liberal Think Progress reported in 2018.
Now one of the Democrat Party’s top strategists has begun pushing the idea.
Lanny Davis’ dismemberment plan
Davis has taken the Kremlin-sponsored idea even further: “this split will be beneficial to the nation, especially people of the new country including Puerto Rico, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam, and Washington D.C. We get the vast majority of the major shipping ports…good luck with getting goods in or out of the country affordably,” Davis said.
Referring to his initiative as “we,” Davis boasted of all the venture capital and entrepreneurs, major corporation headquarters and facilities, seaports, infrastructure, “firm control of 80 percent of the country’s fresh water,” natural resources, high-tech companies, agriculture, educational institutions, and other treasures that his new confederacy would take out of the United States.
