Ah, the possibly Chinese-originated propaganda pushing for the Republic of Cascadia.
As a former resident, here’s a few respond why not.
First, there’s already a looooot of rednecks and racists in every single state you talked about. In large numbers in rural areas. Simply smothering them with the numbers doesn’t mean you simply can’t represent them unless you just want someone else’s dictatorship. They’re still going to end up electing people you don’t like, and the ratio won’t be all that far off from now.
Second, Cascadia can’t sustain themselves with water, power, or food. Where are you getting wheat from? How about ethanol? How about EV production? It’s a guaranteed huge importer of lots of staples. So the first day you’re stick trying to import from farther away at the same cost as no tariffs overland from 1000 miles away.
