The numbers just aren't there. Unless a bunch of red state people some how manage to stop voting for the GOP. But just listen to the AZ fool who will still vote for Trump.

Carrier pigeons, message drops, hand signals, color codings, that sort of thing. Even if it becomes a backup plan that's never used, it's still something for a worst case scenario.

It may have been on MSNBC, where one woman was very confident that the set up for such networks has been under way and, as of yesterday, became activated.

There is room for more but a network is already established it appears.

And today I saw this here:

We're at least a half of the population, our rights are our rights, can't be rescinded.

A true follower of Jesus does not behave that way. Actually quite the opposite.
