You aren't looking at this correctly. There is a dormant, not talked about much, second line of defense built into our democratic republic. It is called states rights and the right of a state(s)to assume sovereignty at any time.

""Secession belongs to a different class of remedies. It is to be justified upon the basis that the States are Sovereign. There was a time when none denied it. I hope the time may come again, when a better comprehension of the theory of our Government, and the inalienable rights of the people of the States, will prevent any one from denying that each State is a Sovereign, and thus may reclaim the grants which it has made to any agent whomsoever."

--Pres. Jefferson Davis.

Okay. I overlooked an option of the struggle: secession.

For example, if Texas should secede--and especially if some of the other states should secede also--that could be a solution--maybe the best solution.

But the last time states seceded, the result was disaster. It would all depend upon who controls the military.

Another option would be to return California to Mexico, thus diluting the insanity and buying more time for America, but how could that work practically? Millions of Californians would flee into the other states, bringing their insanity with them, and Mexico would receive mostly real estate.

And time is not on our side, and the violent Left is in overdrive trying to pervert Texas and the other states that would likely join her.

How do we prevent the californization of the rest of America?

President Trump might be able to pull it off. Pray that he will succeed.

What do you think?

I'm not raising rhetorical questions. The time for that is gone. We need to be practical and face reality.
