      There are a lot of red states and blue states in both 1’and 3. No way Ohio joins Delaware but they’re in the same group.

      I honestly think you take the bordering states of 1 and 3, and give them to 2. And the rest form a united 1.

      Basically, putting 2 between a hammer and an anvil

        New Mexico, Colorado, Maryland, and New Jersy are not about to join the neo-confederacy. Maybe Indiana, Ohio, and Pennsylvania if the new POTUS is a black gay trans woman from Michigan who promises to ban chikd marriage.

          Utah joins and there are constant skirmishes in the rural Colorado regions that are sympathetic until CA puts Utah under control

          Honestly Utah, Wyoming, Montana, both Dakotas, Idaho, and the eastern parts of WA and OR

            Hardly anyone lives in those areas though. And the cities in those states are still really blue/left.

              I mean that’s the case in nearly every state. Cities mostly lean blue, rural areas red

                Yeah but Wyoming has like half a million people in total, the Denver metropolitan area has over 3 million alone, and plenty of the rural places are blue or not red anyway.

                They’d have no chance if the left took up arms at equal rates (I know, it’s a dangerous assumption). It’s also why our congressional representation is so fucked up.
