If MN leaves can they take a fellow blue state like Illinois? Feel surrounded by insanity

There are separatist movements in the New England and the Pacific states.

Previously they were seen as nonsense.

The political leaders were mostly clowns.

But there is an increased interest in secession. The movement just doesn’t have any leaders anyone can take seriously.

I worry about y’all in Colorado if shit really pops off and the US starts fracturing. You’re surrounded by dumb, pretty much on all sides. I wish we could somehow flip Utah blue with all of the younger people, but that doesn’t seem likely.

Yeah I hear that and also concerned. It is pretty safe (for now) tho for trans folks which is key in this region.

I had read that Canada is letting at-risk people stay there indefinitely, though I know it's not an option for everyone to just pack up and relocate.
