You nailed it.
But add to that “fear.” Fear is a powerful force and keeps us passive. We have a lot to lose, so we don’t fight back. We keep waiting for a politician to save us.
One of the biggest hypes is how powerful our army is. Our standing Army is peanut compared to the population of the USA. We fear secession because of that? A 1 million man ( I use that term loosely) standing army? LOL.
