The numbers would suggest that they're already half way to being the majority in some states.If they voted to secede is there anything that can legally be done to stop it?
Good question. You should ask it in one of the "Lincoln is Satan and the War of Northern Aggression was all about tariffs and had nothing to do with slavery" threads, to see what the supporters of that secession attempt have to say.

Most of them avoid the question by saying "that's a different situation." Some of them admit that if you can secede for slavery (or "tarriffs," as they disingenuously insist), you can secede for just about any reason as long as you have the votes.

You mean an intellectual from the "Lincoln is God and the War of Northern Aggression was all about slavery and had nothing to do with tarrifs" herd can't even call up the intellectual horsepower to attempt to answer the question?

No I am not a southerner, but I sure can recognize fresh manure when I see it.
