Even if such a project fails it would be worth attempting. It would give us some way to try and fight back. We have natural rights. Just as British Tyranny in the 18th century violated our natural rights this current MAGA Tyranny is a fundamental violation of our basic rights to freedom. We have a moral right to form alternate democratic forms of government. We have the right to resist Tyranny.

Even if we lose, I think for history's sake we need to fight back somehow. And maybe we might win. If the Republic survives until the midterm elections we might retake Congress. If we do we could try to pass legislation which returns federal tax revenues to their respective states in the form of block grants. Such a plan might fail, but we have to try something. People need hope and some sort of plan to act on. We must try to save democracy somehow. What do you suggest?
