Yeah, right.
If the other crap hasn’t done it, one more won’t do it.

But I imagine that a lot of individuals will ‘secede’ in their own little ways.

I only know one thing about the future, it is not constant.

Structures are engineered to hold up to a certain load. Usually much more then the engineer expect the structure to ever be asked to hold up.

However, there are many variables and a structure will fail if more weight then it was designed for was placed in it. Or if not properly maintained key points can rot or be damaged, or someone could actually modify the structure without understand what their modification will do.

When the structure fails, it is usually quickly and without warning. Someone could predict that if you did this, this and this, eventually the structure will fail but they may not be able to predict exactly when.

Our nation was build with a strong foundation, and three separate branches. A check and balance system was establish so that growth and change can be handled without too much stress on the system.

The founding fathers gave newspapers powerful protection against the government in exchange they were suppose to be the final watchdog over those that would rule over us.

It is clear now that for close to a hundred years the left has slowly been building up a power base so they pretty much control the media, education, unions, and a good portion of our most populated states.

We are in effect living in a one party state where compromise is not required, opposition is shut off, and unconstitutional laws go unchallenged.

This is all adding to the stress on our nation.

What is it that is going to change things? I don’t know. That is trying to predict the future. We can not predict the event that will trigger it, we can, like an engineer stress testing a beam know that it will break at some point.

When it does, the rules as we know them will also change.

It’s easy to say “secession will never happen” as long as the goodies flow.

Peaceful breakup, please, before it gets worse.
