“Since the Legislature and Governor both have to agree to this and both branches are Democrat controlled this has zero chance of happening.”

Yup. They’re getting ahead of themselves. Just like the Texas seceshers are getting ahead of themselves.

Gandhi taught a very important lesson that American seceshers for the most part have yet to pick up. It’s more important that the larger state/nation wants YOU to leave first.

Great point. You also have to have a little respect for what you're leaving and a little dignity or civility.

Put the aggrieved victim stance aside, and understand that dissolution of ties would be the first step towards something new.

Too often separation movements are a matter of angrily slamming the door on enemies, and emotion, rather than prudence and forethought, rules.

What Gandhi understood is that movements get further when they're not motivated by anger and hatred (or whatever you want to call that emotion).
