My Social Security System would still require a mandatory savings requirement. My libertarian tendencies notwithstanding. 10% to a ROTH IRA. NO withdrawals until age 59. Rice and beans only to the starving. Deport illegals to the blue states or back to Mexico. No unemployment insurance. It’s gonna be awesome!

The lead up to the divorce is already happening...

Red States are getting redder.

Blue hellholes are getting more violent and angry.

Conservatives are moving out of hellholes and into Florida, Texas etc.. voting with their feet.

I have no problem with an Article 5 convention. Now ask the next question. Why has this xonvension not already happened?

The answer is the leftists democrats in blue states are not agreeing to it and thus it does not happen.

So, divorce it is.

Your statement is not supported by history. Breaking up the Soviet Union has allowed many countries to be more free to include the baltics, Armenia, and many of the old Soviet satellite countries like Hungary and Poland.

So, while the secessionists gather to jump off a cliff, I’ve been told for years at FR that an Article V Convention of the States to restore free government is too dangerous to consider.

Jumping off a cliff? Explain.

Too dangerous to restore free government? Explain.

Are you kiddint this is SUCH a bad idea. We tried this before in 1860 do we not learn from history how this ends?! Secession is nothing less in definition than a ‘national divorce’. Are you begging for the democrats to do to lincoln what lincoln did to the democrats?!

Lets not go down this road.

But it is worthy discussion if the issues are focused on.

Jesus came to divide, but he also came to unite. How is that possible. What is the point of division and unification?

Trump Came to unite, but also to divide us. The issue is MAGA. (absolutely not saying Trump is God, but it is a good strategy)

“A nation divided cannot stand..............it will be all one or all the other.”

“A nation divided cannot stand..............it will be all one or all the other.”

I think you raise a good point and sadly I am not hopeful for the future as you may be. The children have been miseducated and as Samuel Clemens was attributed to have said, it’s much easier to deceive a people than to convince them that they’ve been deceived. We are in the position of convincing a nation of 350 million people that they’ve been deceived. I don’t believe that is possible. So the media will manufacture a crisis after crisis until we’ve collapsed from economic malfeasance. The communists will step in with their simplistic and top heavy authoritarianism and we will have a king. The pendulum will have swung to the left as far as it can go. Then it will be time for the Yangs and the Khoms to war with each other until the arrival of the Enterprise. Speak the holy words!! “Ee’dplebnista norkohn forkohn perfectunun.” parade out with a tattered american flag to the horror of the protagonist realizing this is the future of mankind.

Ultimately that’s where I think we’re going.
But I might be a little too dramatic.
