The only way to change America's turbo charged minority government and counter majoritarian political system is for the governors of blue states to develop a manifesto demanding a change.

This would make sense because total populations residing in the counties that Biden and Trump won show that Biden has a large majority in democratic states. 67 million more people live in counties won by Biden (197.9 million) than in those won by Trump (130.3 million). This is the largest difference in two major presidential candidate’s county-won populations since 1996, when Bill Clinton bested Bob Dole.

Blue state governors control the economic levers of this country. They can't sit by and see their populations slowly disenfranchised by a gerrymandered Congress and a politicized Supreme Court. Let's hope they step up to the plate soon.

The Roe wars will certainly force blue state governors to fight with neighboring red state governors, who are making every effort to cross state lines in order to implement their Draconian laws. Lets watch and see how this one plays out. No federal enforcement in play here. It maybe the catalyst we've all been waiting for.
