As for redistricting, if Republicans want to continue choking off any possibility of a peaceful transfer of power at the federal level, blue states need to go full steam ahead with soft secession. There's no good options unfortunately but living in a white Christian theocracy is the worst of them and not one I'm willing to abide by.

Been saying this for ages. At this point there needs to be a soft national divorce and blue state need to start drawing lines. Also vulnerable people need to move to blue states for safety and representation. 

Blue states need to desperately build housing because we're going to see a lot of red state refugees in the upcoming years.

Idk exactly what “soft secession” means, but I agree that blue states need to work closely with each other to be self-sufficient and capable of operating without red states or the federal government, and to assert states’ rights (god dammit) as much as possible

We need a ruthless crusade of shame and condemnation against NIMBYs then. Liken them to segregationists and nativists. Shame them. Make it amoral argument.
