Blue State Secession

"Power Corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely." - Lord Acton

In fact, the more power, the more corruptions, clearly. This behavior in fact defines the need for rules systems or legal constructs to provide for minimized corruption, and an administrative entity that goes the opposite direction is clearly choosing to expand its power at the expense of its own virtues. Our country, even under ethical hands, has a dangerous amount of power to damage ourselves and the planet Earth. If we are going to re-achieve safe and responsible management of ourselves, and cooperative management of our world, we need to reduce our powers. The best step for doing this would be to break up our country into multiple smaller countries.

That all being said, it turns out "Blue State Secession" would also be the best way to eliminate the trade problems brought on us all by the incompetent and stupid Trump Administration, which has pretty much permanently put a reputation on the dying U.S.A. for abuse and untrustworthiness. By secession making the West Coast into its own country, initially comprising Washington, Oregon, California and Hawaii, and then the East Coast into one containing States from Maine down to Delaware and presumably west to Minnesota. Though Pennsylvania has been often red, I think the scales have vallen from their eyes now. If all these states leave the new Monarchy and former Union, whose elimination of the control by the Constitution has now been made concrete, the remaining red states will be financially untenable. The next step will be that Texas will also leave to become its own country in order to avoid the bankruptcy in the Rump Trump U.S.A., and the remaining states, excluded from the new blue countries because they cannot be trusted, will all be in dire financial ruin. Perhaps next they will be forced to trade with the rest of the planet under very poor negotiational disadvantage.

Meanwhile, the new Blue Coastal Countries will be able to drop tariffs, and balance their budgets with the massive amounts of their wealth which had been diverted to welfare transfers to support the former red states, and to pay wealthy bond holders and other U.S.A. national debt. The Rump Trump U.S.A. will be under international isolation, will be without an armed forces, which were only loyal to the now defunct Constitution, and will likely die out and end up a permanently disempowered territory of the East Coast Blue Nation. The new Blue States will eliminate the Trump Tariffs, and its economy will immediately go back to flourishing, and be better than every before within weeks of the secession.

The oligarchs who held massive financial power will then lose their wealth with the massive resulting inflation. Most or all will be prevented from trading their holdings with any other country because of their well known crimes and abuses.

Finally, because the new countries will be of much less international power than before, they will have to behave fairly in international negotiations. U.S.A. UN security council veto power will be gone, and support for craziness like Zionism will be gone. Former projects like USAID will need to be reorganized to be under international auspices. Pricing with international markets will equilibrate, and BRICs will have become the new power of greatest hegemony. The world will still not be perfect, but there will be always reason to negotiate in international matters.
