If a state waged war on my country, sure I would. Just as I would fight back if commies or fascists attempted an armed takeover.

I’m not at all happy with much that is happening here, but the problem is that your position is a small minority position, even in the South, and especially in VA, which is rapidly going purple.

This means that to gain and keep power, your minority would have to overthrow the majority, then disenfranchise them.

That would mean, by definition, that your new system of government would not comply with the principles of the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, and would therefore equally by definition by anti-American.

Just as the CSA was on some levels. Or, a bit more charitably, that it was an attempt to redefine what being American means.

The problem at root is not the government. It’s the moral deterioration of the people. Changing the government by force will not regenerate them. I’m not sure what will, but I know coups and secession won’t.

The South cannot regain its freedom chained to the rest of the USA. You are a good example of what the problem is.

The south didnt wage war against the US govt. TheUS govt did against them. The US govt claimed to be for thd people but at that point refined itself to be for the super rich an against self governance. Obama talked about whites attacking blacks in 1921 today, as if he knows the reason why, if it happened at all. Of course he said it was racism. Only one reason the left keeps attacking whites. To justify more handouts and socialism. He couldnt care less about 1921. Its all about greed and power.
