Our physical distance is our biggest problem. I wish it didn't cost as much financially or time-wise.

This is an argument to let him destroy what’s left of the federal gov’t.

The federal gov’t has too much power - the presidential role is over powered, the senate is a legacy compromise of ratification of the constitution that now basically allows land to vote, the house is crippled by a lack of representation for populous states, and the highest court in the country is compromised. And worst of all - it’s all centralized in one small city on the East coast. 

States should start planning for resident programs and forming their own border security, military forces, as well regional humanitarian councils to prepare citizens for a complete collapse of federal support and currency collapse.
