The idea of "Soft Secession" as a strategy of resistance to the damage being done by Trump's government is beginning to take hold.
Here are a few articles on the subject that are worth reading:
These efforts introduce the idea that while secession of the kind that was at the heart of the U.S. Civil War, or earlier, less sweeping attempts, are soundly regarded as unconstitutional, the constitution itself endorses the idea of state sovereignty: that powers are divided between national and state governments.
The Soft Secession movement suggests that a group of states, working alone and together, can do much to nullify an out of control national government and its illegal actions.
It's about time.
