We tried that here, in SC, and you know how it ended up. However, we are ready for a second try. Never give up!
The big indicator about the left/right view of separation is that the right/conservatives wouldn’t care - actually, would ENCOURAGE the left to secede. We’d leave them alone, let them form their own socialist dystopia.
However, the left CANNOT leave people be, to live their lives without interference. It’s intrinsic in their ideology to want to control people. This is why they’d use force to keep conservatives from separating themselves.
“Barack Obama will require you to work. He is going to demand that you shed your cynicism. That you put down your divisions. That you come out of your isolation, that you move out of your comfort zone . . . Barack will never allow you to go back to your lives as usual - uninvolved, uninformed.”
