It seemed clear several weeks ago this was going to happen. East coast blue state governors and West coast blue state governors are uniting to begin the economic civil war planning to block any White House effort to re-open the U.S. economy.
The three step plan seems predictable: (1) Get out ahead of President Trump. (2) Defy the ‘all clear’ and shape economic benefit to their political allies. (3) Then use Fauci’s upcoming dossier to hit the administration for heartlessly opening the economy too early.
♦ On the East Coast the governors of New York (Cuomo), New Jersey (Murphy), Connecticut (Lamont), Pennsylvania (Wolfe), Delaware (Carney) and Rhode Island (Raimondo) have started assembling their economic war council with the intent to keep the northeast region shut down. Controlling critical ports and infrastructure is a key part of their strategy.
EAST COAST — Six Northeast governors will form a working group to come up with a plan to restart [control] the regional economy, they announced on Monday.
♦ On the West Coast the governors of California (Newsom), Oregon (Brown) and Washington State (Inslee) are also assembling their economic war council for similar intents and purposes. Combined with their political northeastern allies, controlling two-thirds of U.S. ports will give them a strategic advantage to keep choking the economy until after they can install their commanding general in the White House.
WEST COAST – The governors of Washington, California and Oregon on Monday announced they were working on a joint plan for reopening [controlling] their states’ respective economies once it is safe to lift coronavirus-related restrictions.
It appears the Governors did not want to assemble their plans openly; however, they rushed to publicity to avoid their enemy, U.S. President Donald Trump, striking strategically against their schemes. During this economic war residents within the Blue occupied territories will be held captive to the political whims of their regional generals.
The economic freedom and liberty zone will encompass the Red region. The center of the country, mid west, southern region (surrounding the Gulf of Mexico) and south eastern Atlantic region. These areas will be open to commerce and economic freedom.
However, the urban dense populations (Blue pockets within Red zones) will push-back against the efforts of the Red generals in an attempt to retain alignment with their Blue team generals. Depending on the strength of the urban forces there may be roadblocks, sabotage, skirmishes and political violence against the freedom & liberty Red team.
Red captives within the Blue zones will have to be smart and strategic. Big Blue tech will be assisting the totalitarian Blue generals. Direct confrontation against the Blue forces should be avoided, and it will likely be a better strategy to fight stealthily as insurgents.
Any Red team member of the economic freedom alliance, trapped within a Blue region, is warned to evaluate their connection to their electronic devices. Your cell phones could be used as portable transponders expose your movement and your political views.
This is going to be one hell of a battle. A Spring and Summer conflict like we’ve never seen in the history of U.S. politics outside of actual, physical, civil war. Fortunately for team freedom and liberty, this time the Red zones control most of the citizen armory.
yup...lets see what happens if they do this and red states, such as Texas & Florida, etc open up...
It is eye-rolling how many times it’s used by people here.
Yes, those states rely much more on foreign imports, tourism and anti-American trade policies. They’ve been mad about President Trump getting elected all along.
Let those states shut down their parasite economies. They’ve only been driving up the debts anyway (balance of payments deficits in trade). We need to try harder to make and grow more useful products in the more conservative states (not including dope, of course) to decouple from the evil anti-American elements of the economy. Every smart worker should be saving, planning and designing production businesses. It’s a matter of survival for bad times to come anyway.
Not to worry...TEXAS will lead the way.
“We could shut off their electricity and food.”
California is highly dependent on Arizona for water and electricity so they would be wise not to piss us off.
in truth, all these governors can do is squawk. President Trump, using the national emergency powers act, could force everything open these power-mad leftist Democrat governors could do nothing but scream and cry.
And shut off all of Californications outside water and coal imports from outside of the state.

The bread basket states should stop delivering food to these anti-Free-America leftist lunatic losers . That would be a “laugh”.
The Greatest Fraud Ever was “elected” TWICE ! !!
The ports haven't closed.
What is he talking about?
There ya go!
They will soon stop that...if they dare try.
I go with Trump. Sooner or later these states are going to figure out they aren’t getting any tax revenue since the people are not working. Then when they see the starving people in their state and the pitchforks they are carrying, they will reassess their decisions.
If Gov. Wolf (PA) plays along with this little game he’s going to have a whole lot of Pennsylvania voters and businesses disregarding his orders and taking him to court.
Sweet. They can leave or we will turn the fuel and food off. Might burn a few cities to the ground. Payback, Atlanta style. They can have Atlanta after we strip the gold off the state capital building. Joke. /s. They can keep the gold dome.
LOL!
The transition ought to be by county as the rural counties have no reason to be quarantined - never should have been forced to quarantine. Of course there are some Democrat governors who might decide to rule by fiat over the entire state. That might backfire, as it is exactly this type of bullying that prompted the Tea Party movement and which elected DJT as POTUS.
Comrade Kate threatened 45,000 deaths in Oregon and we have had around 50. She is a Communist dictator.
One more thing - geography is what is separating the two groups. Democrats occupy a small section of real estate in the country. Also, it is true that the population centers of nearly every state is excentric, that is not in the center of the state, but hugging the border - or coastline in this instance.
In my state of MN, the Twin Cities is within 20 miles of the Wisconsin border. Their population is what rules our politics as they are overwhelmingly Democrats. In Washington and Oregon, the population hugs the coastline and the rest of the state is conservative and far, far away from their political masters. This is getting very tiresome, and again demonstrates why Trump won in 2016, and why many folks think he may tip MN into the red column this year. Liberals are just sounding more and more ignorant.
Of course, I do have a few relatives who are still loyal Democrats for no specific reason but that ‘my father voted Democrat all his life and I will too.’
