Back to topic.
I'm working back channels to get this "virtual secession" to spread.
I think this is particularly needed, and very useful, to counter Trump's most recent declaration to deport 3-4 million people. We need those "sanctuary states."
If we can hinder the mass deportations in CA and other Blue states, Trump's need to appease the Alt-Right with actual horrific results will have him doubling down on deportations in the Red states. From an economic standpoint, the effect would be magnified by the fear of communities subject to the coming storm troupers. The impact on Florida, Texas, Arizona and a couple of other states' (perhaps NC and GA) agriculture, construction and hospitality industries would likely be massive enough destruction to kill off the economies in those states. While the national economy would hasten into a retraction, the Blue states would likely not be impacted or emerge quickly with considerable competitive advantages.
Trump would be in a bind of not having done enough for the Alt-Right, but at the same time created countless stories of hardships and cruelty on TV and the Internet in the middle of an increasingly bad recession. Moreover, the impacts would be on everyone but with clear greater impacts in Trump states (including the new Reds in the MidWest that are always more susceptible to recessions and suffer more).
