As David Frum has been pointing out, their endgame is to restart the economy whatever happens, and if they lose the election, to leave behind them a death toll of millions for the Dems to explain.
The new normal is that Bananarepublicans leave behind destruction for Dems to fix. Dems leave behind a recovery for the Bananas to break.
Still not sure what's in it for Dem states.
If I was them I'd let the Bananas build walls around their states and keep the commies and socialists of the northeast and the west out of the real America.
