Blah, blah, blah.
It’s been TRIED— and did not work out all that well.
Have you noticed just how TINY the deep-blue areas controlled by the bad guys are? That’s what I call a target-rich environment for our side.
I’ll vote for rebellion and regime change, meself.
Faster, quicker, neater and less bloodshed.
Secession does not mean war. It a state or states leave it is up to FedGov™ to either initiate to not initiate hostilities.
Rebellion and regime change wont work.. the real problem will still exist afterwards... The MILLIONS of people that WANT to be slaves to the collective. That will VOTE the for the chains to be put on themselves AND us...
Unless your willing to wholesale slaughter the vast majority of them... They WILL have their chains back... and YOU will join them... Honestly, they only way to achieve our goal and save as many of THEIR lives (and ours) as possible is a peaceful (on our part) succession. We have to end up removing these people from having any influence over our affairs.
If violence is necessary, then let it be for something worthy. Let it be justified and as little as possible.
