There is a "third way". Let's throw the socialist states out. These United States of America, the states that still believe in the Constitution, could simply expel Massachusetts, New York, California, and the other extremely liberal states. We're not seceding, we're tossing them out! I like that idea a whole lot more than I like the idea of civil war, not that I think Dear Leader has what it takes to fight a civil war against the states that still have a Second Amendment. Also, I don't think our military would get involved if the country split sensibly and peacefully.
Don't forget that somewhere north of 85% of our armed service men and women come from red counties. Far from not getting involved, I'm convinced they'd get involved on our side.
What are we going to do about wisconson and minnesota? Geez the’re blue....
