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.

Colorado also has a ton of military infrastructure - NORAD, USNORTHCOMM, Space Force, etc.

Hard to see Washington DC letting that go without a fight.
