Red States are flexing their muscles and imposing their will on the other states through their coordinated redistricting efforts. And if they deploy their Guard troops to other blue cities beyond D.C., the only real precedent would be the era before the Civil War when the South tried to force more slave states on the union.

And in China, a new axis of authoritarians is creating a post-American world order, thanks to voters putting Trump back in office.
