As to the meat of your post, the tyranny that has arisen will brook no separation, nor even talk of separation.
Look at what happened to the Tea Party.
"Nice little political movement ya got there. Be a shame if something happened to it..."
Free Republic had its turn in the barrel, back when we were a more potent political force.
Things just start "happening".
Some of us keep mouthing off.
And changes are happening, whether the tyranny wants them or not. They will keep happening.
