I voted for Constitutional Government. It was the Blue states that have betrayed America and voted to sustain, maintain and increase the Welfare state and apologize & surrender to our enemies. The Red states are the havens for patriots, the Blue are the dens of traitors.
It's important that we frame this issue with the truth and correctly. Winning the odd election here and there doesn't confer patriot or constitutional status upon you. It's standing by those principles, win or lose, that made this nation the greatest ever to arise on the face of the Earth in human history that does that.
Why should we leave? It's the traitors who should leave, willingly or unwillingly. I suggest we let them know this.
We'll be back, don't worry about that. My powder is dry yet at the ready.
Don't Tread On Me...Indeed.
The “blue” states amount to about 5 or 6 northeastern states.
No! No! Let the Blue States “stay” in the Union. That way, they can keep their Obama, fiat money, debt, unfunded liabilities, entitlement programs, the EPA, and Roe v. Wade.
ILL-ANNOY seceded long ago and has devolved into a third-world kingdom with a few fiefdoms layered into a family-run RICO scenario with complicit bi-partisan elite power caste known as The Combine. ILL-ANNOY is so blue, it is cyanotic and gasping its last economic breath. Secession seems moot.
GOP is in panic mode as if it was worse than 2008.
Invite them to join Canada, while inviting Canada’s Alberta to join us.
How about the opposite of secession? That is, expulsion.
Kick the blue states out of the union.
Because there isn't, I will stay and fight for what is left of the dear, departed USA.
Heck, a petition can be started in the Red States to vote out the Blue States. Should be no problem. I agree.
The basis of this union is the Constitution. If it is not to be followed, then the reason for union is void.
These states did not unite just to have a pretty map to look at or to wave a flag with 50 stars on it. Other nations have dissolved and have done just fine.
Not saying that now is the right moment, bit this option does not go off the table out of pride.
It ought to become Cook-Lake and South Illinois.
It would be a “de-facto expulsion”.
We’d secede, then re-form with the exact, original Constitution+10. Ladies, if you really want #19, speak up, will make it #11.
The end result would be the new United Free and Sovereign States of America, and the non-seceding USA would be referred to as the USSA.
To do that we will have to physically remove them. I’m afraid it’s going to get ugly.
You'll need the support of the Legions to do that, and a number of powerful foreign allies for economic recognition. The former would be easier to get than the latter. Otherwise it is a great plan.
This election worked out great for,DC...the Inside the Beltway crowd, while preoccupied with voter disenfranchisement in the 60s ...could no longer care about the peons and peasants in Flyover Country.
Direct disenfranchisement refers to actions that explicitly prevent people from voting or having their votes counted, as opposed to indirect techniques, which attempt to prevent peoples votes from having an impact on political outcomes (e.g., gerrymandering, ballot box stuffing, stripping elected officials of their powers).

In fact the DC crowd made sure we all knew about this just prior to the election...
Which was basically their watcha gonna do about it . Threat.....
DC is basically dissolving the compact between these United States. At some point each of them may chose to start negotiating with some of the others to form a more reasonable compact.
"As go the legions, so goes the Republic." If the legions side with you, it will not be too difficult. If they do not, or if they have divided loyalties, it becomes either insanely difficult or impossible, depending on how much of an optimist you are (or, alternately, how ruthless you are willing to be).
“THESE COLORS DON’T RUN!”
If Texas and or other states secede, Broncho will likely call for them to pay off the deficit.
