A 'soft' separation is in our best interest. The Constitution allows one state to enter into a compact with another. Multiple states may also enter into compacts. We see this with the DMV where 47 states have enteted into a data exchange.

Another example is the Atlantic Salmon Compact that permits New England states to manage fish stocks in the Connecticut River Basin. They do this collectively, among the states.
With a failed federal congress, corrupted SCOTUS and dangerous subverses operating within the executive this may be Constitution loving states best option. And it is well within their power.
We could, among our states, sign on to Agriculture, immigration, tech, commerce, and/or education compacts among many, many others that would allow us to regulate ourselves as a seperate entity without needing the federal govt or the malignant states approval or signatures.
We create and establish new partnerships for varying policy areas which hardens the alliances, thus creating strength. Thus begins the 'soft' seperation. Red states combined provide their voters with what theyve actually voted for. No need for New York pork spending.
Among our states we could eliminate income tax as a policy, right to carry open or concealed, no lockdowns, etc. We would basically realign ourselves and by forming these compacts return power from a small cluster in D.C. to ourselves and our states.
Well what if this just forms new bureaucracy? Rotate compact seats of govt every few years, not allowing any 1 area to become an entrenched nightmare of unelected govt types and lobbyists. South Carolina for 2 years, Kansas for another 2, etc.
There would be a lot to take in to consideration, but reclaiming policy power at the state level is vital in any future, regardless of President. Trump wint be around forever and we dont need a Constitutional convention or Congress to do so many of the things we already agree on.
The left is already doing similar things to recall power to the states. We arent. Cali sent Jerry Brown to meet Chinese president Xi Jinping after Paris Accord withdraw. Massachusetts and Maryland refused to deploy National Guard troops to support Trump’s border policies.
Some left states have attempted to enforce their own citizenship policies, with a dozen permitting undocumented immigrants to acquire driver’s licenses and nearly twice as many to allow them to qualify for in-state tuition.
Seven states, along with many municipal governments, have adopted “sanctuary” policies of official noncooperation with federal immigration enforcement. We wont be "losing" anything. We'll be SAVING our states. Otherwise in 20 years TX votes like Cali, N.C. like New York.
Those on the right and who love the Constitution need to stop being afraid to act. Get the RINOs out, get Constitutionalists in, and lets give our posterity something we've saved. We wont have to say "the founders would have". We can say "We did".

They shouldn't be.

The pattern is:
GOP in power - GOP dictates policy

Dems in power - GOP dictates policy


The Dems shouldn't legislate toward the GOP.

The GOP doesn't represent its constituents.

The GOP can push it's agenda on its own time.

If Dems push an agenda that actually helps people, it'll also actually help the GOP constituency.

The GOP won't. So give them nothing.

The Dems should ignore the GOP just like the GOP ignores the Dems.

Make them pay for every moment of obstruction.

Just a hard press on legislation that is unassailable and shine a light on the GOP.

Constant. Relentless. Unyielding.

Shut them out and shut them down.

The GOP is not a legitimate political party. It is an anti-democratic, fascist criminal syndicate with no interest whatsoever in governance.

Nobody should give them the slightest bit of credit or legitimacy ever again.

Not a fucking ounce.

Nobody should engage them in legitimate debate in Congress.

They should be pariahs and treated as unserious occupants of Congress.

Because these people were totally ok with their colleagues being killed in furtherance of the destruction of the insitution.
