I have yet to hear a plan for succession where adjacent homes, neighborhoods, cities, and states can exist as different countries. That is the condition we have now.

That person standing next to you in the line at the grocery store is one of the ones you no longer wish to share the country with. Who is going to move?

There are people that attend political rallies and shout “USA”, meaning The Constitution, Rule of Law, Of, By, and For The People ...

And there are people that attend political rallies and chant “I WANT PIE!!” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGBH86k3Y8w

These people live next door to each other but they are from different, irreconcilable, nations.

There is no chance for a peaceful, ‘you go your way and I'll go mine’ sort of geographic split.

Sure there is. Texas, as I think has been established here, would be a very conservative place, leaving many residents of Austin and Houston fairly displaced. Similarly, I think it’s safe to say that California would opt for a socialistic government, meaning Orange County residents are SOL.

So basically you set up a transfer system whereby people who can’t or won’t live under the new rules exchange places with each other, and anybody who chooses to stay knows damned well that their “new” country is not going to much resemble the old one and they’re not going to have a whole lot of say if they desire the state to change for them.

I live in Maryland. It is a democrat-socialist state that doesn’t draw much national attention to its idiocy because it’s not as culturally lunatic as Vermont or Massachussetts. But it’s pretty bad. If there were a new country formed in, say, the Carolinas or further south that was based entirely on Constitutional originalism, I’d pack up my family and leave everything to the hyenas.

A mass migration would have to precede the split. And even then, it's highly doubtful the US would peacefully accept it.

We're going to have to fight for liberty once again. It's unavoidable.

Read the history books closer, my FRiend. That is EXACTLY what happened last time around. The last war was, literally, "brother against brother," and so will be the next one.
