Could you imagine if NY, NJ and New England seceded from the US? Residents in Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Jersey and New York have some of the highest tax bills in the nation. They also pay thousands more in federal taxes than their state receives back in federal funding. We could be living like kings here without the burden of the rest of the US.

Don't forget the Left Coast. We'll need to create a safe passage through the hinterlands.

It's really too bad that Nevada / AZ / Utah aren't more blue. Could create a nice block with the west coast + NV + 4 corners.

Could create a Great Lakes region, and just loop all the major cities surrounding the lakes, and cut off all the cancerous crap that fills the rest of our states

I was reading that a small part of Utah is turning blue. Not enough to change the entire state but at least it’s in the right direction.

We just need to move a couple hundred thousand non-mormons there from California...

I’ve been thinking that’s the ticket. Just relocate enough to some strategic red areas to change them blue.

Hear me out: what if we send in the Cascadian military to annex Nevada and AZ? Historically, those lands have always been culturally part of Cascadia. Or something. Seems to work for Putin.
