Secede peacefully from the United States

The Problem

What's next for the women's march?

The Solution

Like many blue states, Massachusetts is now a colony. Washington saps our resources, taking many more of our tax dollars than it returns in spending here. But since we voted overwhelmingly for Clinton and have an all-Democratic Congressional delegation, we have no say in our government. If the Republicans can govern responsibly enough to keep the colonies happy, all will be well. If not, the colonies will demand our independence. Most of the largest protests occurred in the blue state colonies. If for whatever reason, the electoral process cannot alleviate this oppression, one path this movements may take from here is promotion of peaceful secession. Perhaps we learned our lesson from Lincoln's mistakes 150 years ago, and cooler heads will prevail this time.
