The takeover returns St. Louis to a Civil War-era arrangement of state control. A local official calls the move "a clear gesture of white men wanting to control urban areas."
Realistically Kansas City and St Louis should break off independent of the state. Leaving the backwards yokels to wallow in their Missouri. But that’s not going to happen either unfortunately. If St Louis even tried the fascists at the national level would mobilize the National Guard to go crack the skulls of brown people as penance.
I’d love to see St Louis do it. But until we start getting organized ourselves and putting together a proper militia. That can be called to any state to stand against the fascists and intimidate them. There are plenty of militias around here unfortunately having known plenty of them. They’d all jump at the chance to serve the fascist.
