There are a number of states, mostly Western ones like AZ, MT, ND, etc, who have recently asserted their right to secede in certain circumstances. I believe AZ has stated they will automatically secede if the Constitution is ever suspended due to martial law AND a certain number of states trigger similar clauses.

Secession is not likely, but it is interesting that several states are publicly and legally asserting themselves. What is left unsaid in the article is one possible reason for this. Massive immigration and racial politics are only going to get worse. The federal government will keep mandating laws and programs that will bankrupt state budgets. Does a state like Idaho really need to follow the same laws and institute the same programs as Maryland? A state like MD must tailor its legislation in areas like welfare and gun control specifically to racial and cultural realities - its voters demand that it does. When the Democratic Party controls the federal government, that same thinking gets turned into federal law and spending packages.

This is only going to intensify. Once there begins a sizable demographic shift of whites moving West, the dissolution of the union will follow. This could take 20 to 50 years and is not inevitable, but it is certainly possible.

Baloney, The Constitution must prevail. If you have a culture not suited to live by the law, change the culture, not The Constitution.

20-50 years is too long for a massive demographic shift.
I prefer to see and participate in a much quicker shift of individual capitalists and our creativity from blue states to red states, like in the next 2 to 4 years.
Especially if this trillion-dollar boondoggle passes b/c that’ll confound, confuse and infuriate Ogabe and his army of zombies(wasting taxpayer bucks should create zero job growth in Ogabe territories/counties/states).
Half the battle is psychological, the other half, physical.
