Trump is going to launch a trade war against California in the next few days.

Considering how much agriculture and manufacturing actually come out of California, this would have a substantial impact on the rest of the US. The California gdp is as much as in the top 5 gdp's in the world.

Right, California could secede and collapse all the red states.

Either way we’re heading to something.

In the non realistic fever dream of States seceding I always felt Colorado would get shafted since it struck in the middle of the US.

  • California, Oregon, Washington are fine since they have the Pacific Ocean.
  • Minnesota, Michigan, maybe Wisconsin all share a border with Canada to the North.
  • New York and many of the North East States either border Canada or the Atlantic Ocean.
  • Colorado borders all Deep Red States and New Mexico.

Either they would have to convince Arizona or convince Wyoming or Montana... (and they don't have to take all of it, just enough to be contiguous and form a border with Canada)

Could Wyoming even resist? There's barely anyone in the state.
