Respectfully, we do not need more information. We get it, we see it. It is very plain. We need blue states to form a functional coalition which does not contribute to the federal regime. Health, trade, science, defense, law. Do actual work to protect those of us who want to live in a democracy.

I am just going to say this again bluntly: Blue states are going to need to become the federal government. Mutual aid compacts, mutual defense compacts, healthcare, taxes, trade the whole deal. Literally create a new system outside of the fascist federal system.
