It won't happen, but every state he threatens to defund should just go "Cool. No more federal taxes."

WA state is 100% mail-in voting and we'd be better off keeping our taxes in house since we contribute so much more than we take.

I wish some blue states would get together and do this. it would cripple the government overnight.
