Four States Could Secede From US and Join Canada to Avoid Trump—Democrat​

A prominent Democratic New York State Senator has floated the fanciful proposition that her state and its northeastern neighbors secede from the United States to join Canada to avoid President-elect Donald Trump's return to office.​

​

Liz Krueger, who chairs the New York State Senate Finance Committee, argued that the Empire State, Connecticut, Massachusetts, and Vermont, could all suffer under Trump's new administration.​

​

Citing his proposed crackdown on immigration and promise of mass deportation, the Manhattan Democrat believes liberal and sanctuary states such as New York could be threatened with cuts in the amount of federal funding they receive, a move the incoming leader and his cabinet have suggested, should states oppose new policy measures.​

​

This is not the first time the New York Democrat has offered up a radical and improbable plan to counter Trump's policies, suggesting in September, ahead of his election win, that the bloc of blue states should join Canada.​

Who is fighting against a Democratically Elected President?

Suggestion: Don’t give ridiculous ideas attention or a platform.

Oh please. Texas has been threatening to do this for decades. It's bluster, nothing more, nothing less.

World record holder for fastest whatabout!

You can pick up your reward in Canada.

No whatabout. States can't just secede. Not Texas, not New York, not the confederate states. Threatening to do it is just bluster. Nothing more.

-- A2SG, it's all just stuff and nonsense...

 

[Always in His Presence]

Good to know both sides have their share of wackadoodles and blustering nonsense.

Are you kidding? It's the hottest competition in politics to be the side which has the most.

Trump will be out of office in January 2029. They can certainly stay in the union and survive.

What about California?

Oh please. Texas has been threatening to do this for decades. It's bluster, nothing more, nothing less.

-- A2SG, lest we all forget Texas v White....

Not to mention Idaho.

 

[A2SG]

Not to mention Idaho.

Them too.

-- A2SG, bluster is as bluster does...

 

[RileyG]

Them too.

-- A2SG, bluster is as bluster does...

Oh! Almost forgot about Idaho.

Of course. Just like in the 1860s they want to secede because the President is taking away their slave workforce.

Of course. Just like in the 1860s they want to secede because the President is taking away their slave workforce.

Yeah, how'd that work out for 'em?

-- A2SG, though, the Emancipstion Proclamation came after the attempted secession began....

Some more virtue signaling by politicians. But it would be good for Republicans if that happened.

Except that the blue states support the red financially.

 

[Laodicean60]

Except that the blue states support the red financially.

Really? Not in the last two years. Many sanctuary cities are in blue states and are in financial trouble and the government may be using other resources to support the human trafficked in these states. It is virtue signaling by these states to keep churning the division.

...let me know when a few states organize to secede. As it is, the op is quoting one state senator from NY.

Oh, tell me again which states do not rely on illegal labor?

Yeah, like all the money made off human suffering. Cartels make good money for the corrupt.
