Reduction in the minimum wage

How optimistic that you think it’ll exist at all. Why pay little wage when no wage do trick?

They control the most powerful military on the planet, with militarized police forces in their back pocket as well, and y’all qaeda to boot. Why the fuck would they have any fear of a 2nd civil war? An armed uprising would get squashed so fast, and Trump would probably nuke Chicago just for the cherry on top. They’ll have their stability by crushing dissent.

Yeah, I probably should’ve put won in quotes, but I’d argue there’s still a small difference between running as the incumbent and the situation with Clinton. Not that it really fucking matters now.

So where do you think the lines would get drawn? West Coast and New England + New York are the obvious ones to do their own thing. Pennsylvania cuts off the DMV area from New York/New England, unless we go on a county level and excise just the area around Philly to keep the whole northeast Atlantic together.

Is Chicago just left as an island in the Midwest? The red staters certainly won’t want it, and without it Illinois basically is a red state. RIP to the other midwest and southern cities too.

Colorado and New Mexico together would be quite fucked being landlocked in a sea of red otherwise.

Congratulations to Hawaii on its regained independence I guess. Alaska would probably be offered up to Putin as a thank you gift from Trump.

Do you think all the red states stay together as a single entity? Texas is an obvious candidate to decide to fuck off on its own, possibly Florida as well. But would South Carolina really care all that much to stay tied to Montana, for example, or vice versa?

Though to be fair, Biden won the (practically uncontested) primaries in 2024 and probably would have gotten his shit stomped in just as hard
