To overthrown the empire and make such justice possible would require a far grander Civil War then the more expedient secession backed up with a combination of International support and a nuclear MAD deterrence against a linclintonan imperial suppression.

Sadly I think our long range hopes for a reclamation and reappointment’s of our liberty must invariably contend upon our practiced ability to put the mutually beneficial & consent of the governed part of republican Government into our Federal government.

Invariably this all comes down to practically restoring the right of revolution to reinforce that core virtue that prohibits a distant majority from tyrannizing a minority.

I would settle for an amicable parting of the ways. Let the progressive states wallow in their filth. Folks would have a limited time to move freely to a state of their choice. After that, the flyover states would have to institute strict border controls to prevent California from spreading its disease as people flee without understanding what they are fleeing.

OK. It’s kind of utopian. D.C. would never allow Texas tax revenues to escape without war. Nor would it allow the mouth of the Mississippi river to be controlled by another country without war. The later issue, along with slavery, were the two principal factors why the Civil War was fought to the bitter end. The more things change . . .

Reminds me of the John Titor Story where in a nutshell, there is a Civil War in the U.S. between the rural/suburban population and the urban population. Russia and Red China get scared and wonders who controls our nukes so they launch a pre-emptive strike on our cities and the rebels, our side, is grateful to them for doing that. They did not EMP us, they figured that we would have enough problems re building as it is.
