Blue State Alliance

I know there has been a lot of sadness that Joe Biden is leaving and fear and despair that Trump is coming in. It is understandable. That said, we have to stick together and fight. I have been encouraged by how Governor Gavin Newsom has been preparing the California government to resist the worst excesses of the incoming Trump Regime.

California has the biggest government in the country after the Federal government. New York's state government is the biggest one after that. Both are predominantly Blue States run by Democratic Governors. Other important states run by Democratic Governors include Pennsylvania, Michigan, Illinois, Colorado, Arizona, Kentucky, and North Carolina.

Part of what we need to do to resist Trump and MAGA is to have a coordinated alliance between these Governors and these Blue States. We need these state governments to act as a countervailing force to the incoming Trump Regime. They need to work together where they can, almost to act as an alternative government to the Trump Government. A Blue State Alliance.

So this is one way to resist Trump and his MAGA Gang. There are many other things that we can do, including fighting destructive Trump policies in the courts, countering MAGA propaganda in the media, and mobilizing for the next elections. We have several tools in our tool box. We need to work together and keep our fighting spirits up. Trump and MAGA can be resisted and we can find ways to effectively fight back. We may be able to win in the next election cycle, and then take the White House back in 2028. Stay strong!
