And easily a third of the population of the geographic area now designated as “the United States of America” would support a similar resistance movement today. Even with the American Revolution, there were “sunshine patriots” and strong supporters of the Crown, theoretically in the majority, but remember, one man, with strong convictions, is a potent force that can shift that majority.

Secession should not be dismissed as a strategy, dividing the geographic area between the “red” counties and congressional districts, and the “blue” districts, and declaring separate republics. In many instances, the division would not be congruent with current state lines, so, potentially, a state like California could be divided between a thin coastal line, and the much larger interior.

Inevitably, the “blue” districts will turn out to be greatly fragmented, and it is impossible to administer any national entity across what is potentially hostile territory separating the multiple districts. The “red” districts shall turn out to be nearly contiguous, making administration much simpler.

It can be done. Should the “red” portion of the electoral map declare themselves a separate republic from the government administered from Washington, DC, there is really not a whole lot the Washington regime could do to reverse that intent. Sure, they have the military, and the naval forces, but much of the “red” portion of this geographic area is self-sufficient in production of raw materials, manufacturing, and distribution. Most of the “blue” districts are not.

Good ideas, but we should start electing county sheriffs that will stand up to the federal usurpation of power and deputize those who will not hesitate to stand for freedom.

This fight needs to start at a town/city/county level then work it’s way up to the State. We need county sheriffs that will kick the feds OUT of the county when they start harassing it’s citizens.
