Im confused... and it's a scenario of postulation, I'm not putting forth some set in stone set of expectations.Your scenario is kind of falling apart. If they are such a small minority how did they get so much power?
Trump is proving that the checks and balances are stil functioning. If the majority get pissed off enough they can flip Congress in less than two years.
My contention is checks and balances may still work, today. But let's say there's three more very Conservative and Party-Beholden justices with state and federal level efforts to double down on jerrymandering and denial of voting rights to those who tend to vote dem, resulting in an ultra conservative government across all three branches, intractably so (ala the intractable nature of a 50-50 state like NC being an 85-15 split in the legislature)...
In THAT scenario, could you not see a huge divide between the ideology of those in power and a majority of the nation (and super majority within blue states) to the point that the Red Fed tramples on the Blue States to such a degree that they simply say enough is enough... no more money to the Feds.
