Same. Here in Massachusetts.

The blue states should secede. On our own or in some kind of partnership with Canada (United States of Canadia?). The red states are an anchor around our neck. We need to cut them loose.

Unfortunately the vast amount of space between California and the eastern blue states makes it challenging to become a singular entity. Likely New England either becomes its own thing or partners with New York and its sphere of influence.

I see this as roughly being the way things go in the next decade, since the differences between ideologies are irreconciliable. Five or six different nations resulting in the end, with California, New York, Texas, and Florida being the major territories.

New England has a registered non-profit to become their own country: r/RepublicofNE

I'm in New York and I know we're a decade behind New England in starting our own movement but we're trying our hardest to recruit enough supporters and volunteers at r/NYEXIT so that some day we will have our own website, fb, instagram, and fundraise to become a registered non-profit.
