        Withholding federal taxes, using the national guard to arrest ICE leadership and to walk ICE agents into jail cells. Shut down roads that ICE needs to move around, block off known ICE concentration camps until they are shutdown. So many things that would be nice to see them do.

        My taxes go to mouth breathers in the south and Midwest rather than my community. I wouldn’t care about helping them, but damned if they don’t reject any attempt to help any fucking one that isn’t them.

        Fuck them. They have bootstraps and shit, too.

        I do want to do this in the west coast alliance. Since we pay directly to the federal government as citizens, the states would need to band together and ensure that they would protect us from federal crimes to allow us to withhold our taxes. I’d even be okay with them setting up a sort of “escrow” where we pay our federal taxes to the states in the name of that protection, and then either get a refund once we leave the union, or to be used for cascadia’s new military. After that, our federal taxes can be reduced and/or reallocated to the new state services.

      Open armed conflict is the last step in escalation. There is a lot of civil resistance backed by weapons to prevent massacres thet comes first

        Well When Trump cancels the elections and stops people from voting will you agree then that all the civil resistance means are over?

          Elections are run by the states. The President can’t cancel them. Republican-run states can cancel theirs…which means they get no representation in Congress.

          If they disregard the election, which they are likely to try, then the United States is effectively dissolved

            Dude they will send ICE to do what they doing Now to all blue states and terrorize anyone who tries to vote. So yes they will cancel the elections. Not like they certify them anyway. Trump will call fraud and those in Congress will go along.

      You know it’s almost as if they want to step straight over the easier ways of voting or peaceful shutdown and go straight to the shredder.

      Churchill was definitely right.
