        To be fair, I’ve read that this was his fear with the last shutdown standoff. Now that they’re basically destroying the federal government with/without a shutdown he seems more committed to not caving in.

        Not sure if that’s what we’ll actually see, but seems a little more hopeful.

      Bingo.

      Better to entirely stop relying on the federal government and focus on state government.

    At this point I’m rooting for the collapse of the federal government. Every state has to fend for itself or make alliances with other states.

    Blue states will be fine on their own, but would very likely form alliances, securing their welfare.

    Red states will fail and die.

    Sounds great to me.

    As of right now blue states are in an abusive relationship with the federal government and red states and we’d be better off without them.

    Buy your guns and ammo now folks

    If the government shuts down there will be general strikes and the military will start shooting protesters.

    Don’t let it be a one sided battle.
