I have a hypothetical as to how it would all play out and I didn’t want to get too deep into the weeds with it. I agree with you, so here’s the down and dirty.
Except for RI, CT and Mass, every state you mentioned has a sizeable Conservative bloc of residents. They’re all drowned out by the Liberal cities in each state, but New Hampshire gets drowned out by the Mass liberals fleeing TaxaChusetts and the college kids that do what they’re professors tell them. Those Liberal blocs give the politicians a false sense of security. So, lets say my scenario played out.....
Northeast down to DC is 1 of 3.
The West Coast is 2 of 3.
The Southeast, from South Carolina to Florida...west through Texas....through the Midwest..north to the Canadian border....and the Mountain states, except Colorado are 3 of 3. Now toss in West Virginia, western North Carolina, Western Virginia, all of Illinois except Chicago, ohio except for the major cities, Michigan except for the detroit area, almost all of Pennsylvania except for the major cities....all of Colorado except for Denver and Boulder... the eastern halves of Washington and Oregon....all of Nevada except the Vegas area, a sizeable chunk of Interior and southern California....most of Arizona and New Mexico....It would come down to darn near every part of the country, except for those in the major cities wanting to be part of #3.
In my opinion, if the Republican Governors and/or Legislatures of the Southeastern, Midwestern, Mountain States united, in the same way these liberal states want their popular vote nonsense and said....NO MORE - ENOUGH - NO MORE ILLEGALS - NO MORE BIRTHRIGHT CITIZENSHIP - NO MORE REFUGEES - NO MORE UNFUNDED LIBERAL POLICIES WILL BE IMPOSED ON THE PEOPLE OF OUR STATES - LAW AND ORDER AND THATs IT - NO MORE PROPERTY TAXES GETTING RAISED TO PAY FOR ILLEGALS AND SCHOOLS - the list could go on and on.
What could anyone do? Arrest the Governors for asserting their 10th Amendment rights on behalf of their citizens? Is the FBI or whoever going to roll right past the State Police and arrest one of these folks? I’d like to see one try to get past the some of the monsters on the Georgia State Patrol to snatch Gov Kemp. That’d be funny.
that’s the short version.
NH would not put up with it.
My son lives there and is involved in politics there and he’s told me about a few instances that he knows of where the feds tried throwing their weight around and they politely but firmly got put in their place.
Yes, the Masshole influence is affecting the state in NH but more NH-ians (or whatever they are called) are NOT happy about it.
The Live Free or Die mentality is VERY strong there.
