In other words your Red State will be thoroughly repressive. Genuinely "vicious crackpot accusations" - like the "pizzagate" mess will be freely made and nobody will be permitted to disagree with them.

RAZD had an idea about how it might be possible to avoid having to live by the odious red state policies he abhors and set up a political entity that could be governed by principles he prefers. I thought that was an interesting idea and I would really like to be able to do the same based on red state principles.
And part of the point of the proposal is that the Red States are the poorest , and therefore get net assistance from the Federal Government - they are subsidised by the Blue States. On that factor alone life would get worse in the Red States even without the policies which will increase inequality and poverty.
And my point is that the Red States would never accept responsibility for those consequences and - given the hate from the Right - there is little reason to doubt that some of that hate would be directed at the Blue States, perhaps even to the point of another civil war.
