Can we at least talk about secession instead of jumping right into the war?
The next civil war won’t be between states.
It will be like Vietnam, it will be guerilla wars fought across the country.
I think part of the problem with that is if states like CA secede, there could be scenarios like them welcoming in Communist Chinese warships into San Francisco Bay.

As I recall, Lincoln went to war “to preserve the Union.”
In any event, like you, I support a peaceful separation of the former “United” States.
