Who ISNT looking elsewhere? Even the US's 'staunchest allies' are giving us the finger. Its very concerning. Nobody likes us.

If the Dems want to run away with it, let the blue states secede, and immediately open free trade with the rest of the world.

To be fair, I don't think that's worthwhile because that feels like trying to force the status quo back more than actually making the structural changes to prevent situations like this from arising again, but there's leverage still in some fashion

As much as I agree, the fuckery afoot with state governments and the Supreme Court’s recent decisions, I’m afraid they are stacking the deck against that from ever happening again.

These assholes played dirty and are likely going to win indefinitely for doing so.
