It’s less about states and more about urban vs everybody else.
Think about it that way.
“It’s less about states and more about urban vs everybody else.“
True, but secession by states would soon lead to similar transformations within the states.
Immediately following the secession, the “Red” states, now free from the oppression of federal overlords in DC, would quickly adopt America First policies. They would end “sanctuary city” status - end job-killing treaties and regulations - end redistributive Marxist tax and spend policies - end fiat currency debauchment - end involvement in endless foreign wars.
The leftist parasites in large urban centers in Red states would be so unhappy with the new policies that they would relocate (secede) to a city in a Blue state which had policies more to their liking.
The Blue states would quickly become urban hell holes as urban parasites fleeing from Red state cities swarmed into their sanctuary cities. Within a year or two, the Blue states would see how well the Red states were doing and their people would soon vote them Red.
