If blue states, invented a method to withhold transfers to the IRS, we'd be in a much better negotiating position. Moneys transferred could be ( for instance ;-) dependent on payments made and programs continued, records maintained and aid distributed.

It feels like we are sliding down that path. So far, no one is stopping it.
If Trump wants to withhold money from those states, I'm more than happy to cease those tax revenue for Washington and keep it at home to see to our needs.

1) Blue states declare a state of emergency
2) Enact the title 2 of the Emergency Banking Act of 1933
3) Restrict moneys transferred out of state specifically targeting transfers to the IRS
4) Redirect those transfers to a state escrow account.
5) Sue me

Sure there are political minorities in every state but that doesn't alter the fact that some states have predominantly red or blue populations.
I don't know
I'm in the same boat.
A previous Canadian minister of immigration said: "Canadians born all around the world... eventually, all of them return home." (That's my case)
So, welcome home 😉
Although with the additional funds blue states could provide a lot of support for Canada. ;-)
Boston would fit in just fine, and we'd still have Habs vs Bruins. California is halfway there already, and nice in winter now that Florida is out.
Like myself.
My kids have U.K. passports (dual citizenship) so we may just move there anyway!

We are within our right to withhold payments to the federal and redistribute them to the citizens in the form of State-funded Universal Basic Income to replace denied federal support.
it doesn't have to be legal
It only needs to cripple them for as long as possible.
Let them secede, peacefully.
What we're suggesting is a way be invented if none exists.
Kinda gets you thinkin tho doesn't it.
fuck you, MAGAts.
Federalism definitely cuts both ways.

They are trying to destroy the federal government...
Develop a consortium of states that pick up what the idiots in Washington are dropping
Do it better and more efficiently and leave them OUT of the funding loop.
People needs to be free from social medias that manipulates and rot their minds.
Regarding other sites, they have been openly hostile to democracy since 2015. Does shutting them down just push them underground?

Thanks for the input
The only real way it could work would be for border states to just be annexed by other countries. New England/New York becoming either a new Canadian province or absorbed into existing provinces, for example.
Emergency Banking Act 1933
Our states could collect our federal tax dollars and put them aside to be sent at our discretion
The Poles used slow tax payment to the USSR as a form of protest.

For some parochial reason, the California Session movement is very opposed to working with other states. They are the cool kids and won't play lesser states.
I'm from NM but come on, get real.
