An eye for an eye makes the world blind. The answer to our problems is not to cut our nose off to spite our face. This isn’t a winner-takes all situation.
Even if it was, it’s not like states like Taxas (lol, typo but keeping it) would go away. They’d just sit there and fester, spewing crime and hospital cases to the not-fucked up states. Same thing with Idaho, which relied heavily on other states when their hospitals all fell to covid cases during the peaks of covid.
So it’s in our best interest to help everyone and show them that there’s benefits for not voting for retarded politicians who actively try to run our republic into the ground.
