As a resident of northeast Ohio, thank you for putting us with the Union. My sympathies to the Ohioans in Toledo and Columbus.

Hey, we've got tons of empty buildings up here, best claim yours before the climate refugees start flooding in.

I find it funny that the map maker would think half of New Mexico would want to live under a Trump type government. A few towns on Texas border sure. Absolutely not half the state.
St. Louis wouldn’t go for this either and neither would Houston or Austin.

I really wish Montana politics would return to what they have historically been. I'd hope for a more even split tbh. Like the christofascist stuff I just feel like wouldn't be tolerated by a lot of folks in the Rockies. But. Here we are.
Basically, I'd hope that there would be New England functioning as it's own little capitalist secular state, the South and Midwest Bible belt regions doing whatever the fuck it is they want. Then the Rockies (western MT, Utah, CO, Idaho, New Mexico, Wyoming) basically being more of a region that functions on democratic confederalism or libertarian municipalism. Like the population centers in all of these places are fairly progressive. Besides Boulder, CO, these places tend to be more Libertarian progressive than classical liberal. I'd hope that the looming threat of fascism would bring people together in these regions to push back a fascist State. I'd imagine there would still be pockets of far right radicalism, but as an exception instead of the rule.
I wonder if a Western alliance of Cascadia and California would support a Rocky Mountain Front of some kind, too. It'd be important territory for a lot of reasons. Resources, major cities and transportation hubs, natural barrier, etc etc. Just spitballing.

If the governmental system the new entity adopts gives even weight to persons formerly a part of the USA, it'll basically be Canada becoming a part of a part of the USA.

Trump would take parts of Southern Alberta and Saskatchewan. A lot of right wing cowboys in both.
Edit: also I didn't think Utah would easily be renamed Deseret. As conservative as the Latter-day Saints are, most other Christian denominations would want to throw them out of power, as they're not "real Christians." I honestly always wonder why so many vote for him despite that if the US ever did become a theocracy, they wouldn't be able to practice their version of Christianity.
