It may not be over, but the shooting will have to start soon.
I think the Beltway assumes this is not being discussed. . . They have no idea what's being discussed in Flyover Country.
I would form up tomorrow if we had a national leader, a structure, a command and control if you will, (with lots of help from and joined by the military), and a reasonable plan of success.
Since that isn't in the offing right now, I'm waiting and hoping 1. We'll get a conservative President and 2. Article V will get off the ground in the coming year.
To summarize from a previous post by GraceG:
1. Elect More Republicans - Failed due to RINO/Uni-party confluence.
2. Article V Convention of States to propose Amendments - Needed to try to take power from the federal government back to the states and reel in the federal leviathan.
3. State Nullification - Last ditch effort to try to take power back from the federal monster, though by this point it may be too late.
4. State Secession - Could either end up peaceably like the breakup of the Czechoslovakia in 1993 or a brutal:
5. Civil War II like the first one.... The longer we wait on #2, the more likely #3, then #4 and finally #5. .
#5 will happen if Hillary gets elected or Article V is sabotaged. We will have no choice then.
One last point. I think the Beltway scoffs at the idea of CWII. They think it's a joke and an idle threat. What they don't understand is the potential Civil War is between all of us, these 50 United States and Washington D.C. It's not North vs. South, East vs. West, It's America vs. Tyranny in Washington D.C.! Not a very big AO. .
