There is a growing movement by states in the West to claim BLM land.
If they can do so, I am all for it. However, those lands have used by the Fedgov as collateral for loans. I don’t seem the Fedgov letting them go that easily, and with the recent change in the narrative to be “We have the guns, so we make the rules” it may come down to troops sent to the state house of those nine states.
If it does work, it means that the USA will probably stop being a going concern real soon (actually that will happen one way or another). New York and Connecticut can’t enforce their laws inside their own borders, and the BLM almost got shot to pieces doing something they have done for years. When the state loses the monopoly of force (We have the guns, we make the rules), it will soon stop being a state. For New York, this means that Bloomberg and his cronies are going to have a hard time enforcing their will on upstate folks. For the Fedgov, it means they will have to either send troops in, or let the West go increasingly its own way. Either choice will lead to fracture.
