Blue states need to form their own NATO within the US

All of the west, all of the northeast, the great lake states all need to start a coalition within the US against the coming fascist horseshit. Start with resisting and refusing whatever the SCOTUS and the Trump Admin do. Refuse to bow to any law or SCOTUS hand down for anything. Red states are already doing it, blue states need to start telling them to fuck themselves right back.

Not only that Blue states should look at finding replacements for Social Security and Medicare should the Repukes and Trump start screwing with those.

Minnesota and NY being the holdouts, and Minnesota was closer than expected.

There really are no red states or blue states. The vast majority are some shade of purple.

Other than the NE and WA/OR/CA, there is no easy way to differentiate them by region, and WA/OR/CA all have some very red areas.

but not militantly. A coalition to avoid FEMA funds (which I assume will be axed, anyway,) perhaps an insurance scheme to avoid the effects of reduced social security, or even some kind of organization to provide general services, might be helpful. Technical interactions and support would also be something that might reduce economical burdens. But, I don't think we will get anywhere with being hostile.
