We’re dividing. Segregating. This is the build up. The next 20 years will completely change this country (or to-be 2 countries).
- Both sides have always gerrymandered
- Both sides are now extremely gerrymandering, believing they have to because the other side is
- Blue states are back-door trying to make the electoral college not relevant.
- SCOTUS is heavy red, heavily favoring the GOP
- Blue states are poised to ignore SCOTUS because of it
- States (both sides) pass there own laws directing their law enforcement to ignore federal laws when federal agencies are in command by the opposite party
- Representation will be fully partisan in a couple of years
- This will be too much for voters. Red voters in fully blue controlled and gerrymandered states will move to red states. Blue state voters will do the same to blue states
Willful segregation.
- Intra-state coalitions will be formed (trade, economic frameworks, shared resources, ignoring federal regs, laws, rulings, etc.)
- Strength will be in numbers: the more states who join the coalition, the less of a threat the other side (or federal) will be.
- Congressional (legislative) laws will be ignored (they have no power to enforce)
- Judicial laws will be ignored (they have no power to enforce)
- Executive enforcement can only be ignored (they have enforcement power and bodies), once coalitions are built enough to withstand.
- Executive branch enforcement will be limited to what the current party in power feels like enforcing. No one standard across the board.
- Political opponents will be targeted executively, but protected by the state coalitions.
- Eventually, deep blue and deep red states will be fully populated as such, easily noticeable boundaries between the two major sides.
- State coalitions will stop their residents from paying federal taxes, protecting them legally and physically
- Trade deals between coalitions and supporting foreign entities will commence.
- The power of the combined 3 branches of government will become obsolete on a large scale.
- Lines will be drawn, the split will be on
None of this would require any actual secession from anyone one state. Nor any real shots fired.
The US splits, naturally, slowly, figuratively at first then literally, until there’s two ruling sides.
It’s breaking.
