Secession. The only play left short of war.

The author of American Secession: The Looming Threat of a National Breakup, F.H. Buckley (2020) was interviewed twice that I heard him. He's not a William or James Buckley relative.

First time he predicted UHauls would flood the country with people leaving states for political reasons. "People don't want to tolerate being near people they hate." Then secession problems like money to US defense for non-US states and money to pay national debt , who gets to live in wealthiest California third and poorest 2/3rds when three states and so on.

He had disposed of war as the alternative. Then after the bad sound of secession problems the interviewer had to return to the discarded war alternative and it sounded so bad he now could see how secession was not so bad. Big controversies involved.

Next one Buckley denigrated Trump's chances for re-election in 2024 and insulted his legacy-----so the guy is worthless to me. An anti-Trumper.

The hatred between our politically opposed relatives, coworkers and neighbors is intense. It has to have some sort of resolution. It's not going away.
