WAR! Blue States Becoming Rogue Nations, Final Word: This is what the Democrats have learned from their troubled and defiant history, The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)

One of the underlying reasons for the American Civil War was the States ignoring federal authority and demanding independent rule. The American Civil War was Democrat states rejecting federal authority and asserting their right to govern themselves independently on many issues, including slavery.
The Democrat states, mostly Southern Democrats, demanded states' rights: Southern states believed they had the right to make their own laws without interference from the federal government.
Today, while slavery is no longer an issue,
the same Democrat defiance is still at play
The federal government, especially under President Abraham Lincoln, sought to limit states' authority, which included the spread of slavery, which Southern states saw as a threat to their autonomy and way of life.the same Democrat defiance is still at play
The result was a bloody war and full secession as 11 Southern states seceded from the Union, forming the Confederate States of America, in direct defiance of federal authority.
Today, while slavery is no longer an issue, the same Democrat defiance is still at play. As political tensions escalate nationwide, local Democrats are facing mounting criticism for what many on the right see as a pattern of obstruction, defiance of federal oversight, and refusal to comply with laws designed to safe-guard national interests and community safety.

The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE)
Beyond the agency itself, Greene and other conservatives see a broader pattern: state and local Democrats, particularly in progressive strongholds like California, New York, and Illinois, have implemented policies that directly defy federal authority. From sanctuary city laws that prevent cooperation with ICE to refusal to enforce voter ID rules, Republican leaders argue this defiance comes at a steep cost to public safety.
“This is about more than bureaucrats or one agency,” Greene said. “These are the people who actively destroyed America for the last 4 years and used Biden as a puppet to harness the power of the government for their own insane political goals.”
The Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), a Trump-era initiative aimed at slashing bureaucratic bloat, has been largely sidelined by Democratic lawmakers and state officials, who argue it threatens regulatory protections and community autonomy. But supporters like Greene say DOGE is necessary to rein in unaccountable agencies like the GAO.
Underlying these debates is a deeper constitutional clash over states’ rights versus federal authority. For many Republicans, the current dynamic represents a dangerous precedent: unelected officials and local political leaders ignoring the law when it doesn’t serve their agenda, even if it means risking public safety in the process.
“If Democrats want to run their states like rogue nations, then they shouldn't be surprised when people start demanding federal accountability,” said one senior GOP aide.
Final Word: This is what the Democrats have learned from their troubled and defiant history:
Commentary:
The Civil War or what historians call the "War of Northern Aggression as it was all about the 10th Amendment to the Constitution and not about Slavery at the start.
Northern States with the help of the Federal gov't in D.C. were imposing tariffs on Southern produced goods and placing high taxes on Southern States.
In many cases Southern States were aggrieved and correct bor the bad treatment they received. They did not seek to conquer the North but to secede from the Union. They sought to create their own nation.
One must always remember that History is shaped by the victor.
As today the Northern States were more populated and more industrialized than the South in he 19th Century.
Additionally, the Southern States rejected the enumerated powers of the federal government, specifically Congress, are those powers explicitly granted to it by the U.S. Constitution, as listed in Article 1, Section 8 that delegated powers, and defined the scope of federal authority.
They fully believed that the federal government was and is, as written in the Constitution, merely a coordinating agency for the benefit of the sovereign States. not a ruling authority, but a commonwealth of States and they were not subject to the dictates and usery taxes imposed from Washington D.C. by a Congress with a majority made up by the Northern Democrats.
.....to my understanding (obviously limited) blue states are protesting Trump's EO's , the penalty being they're shut off from fed funding
