    Other countries need to hammer republican states with tariffs and boycotts. Since they control the government, it’s the only way they will relent on economic sanctions and ICE nonsense.

    Or…

    The West Coast needs to form its own trading bloc and reform ICE, as the former rules don’t seem to apply to anything anymore. We’ll continue to uphold traditional American values from 1776-2015, values held before all of this New Right horseshit.

      Uhh, we definitely don’t want to uphold traditional American values from before the 1960s or so.

        I meant more in the long arc of “being a place that values life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness” like most modern nations.
