Well you have your red, blue and purple states.

I think we can be pretty sure that governments of the blue states, places like Oregon and Washington where I live, will kneel down to lick the boots of whoever the FedGov tyrant sends in as the appointed regent for our zone.

I don't imagine purple states, lets say Wisconson which currently has a lot of GOPers running it, but a ton of lefty Democratic trash in it - they won't do much better.

So you are left with Dixie, and the Empty Quarter states like North Dakota and Wyoming. And Texas. Might some of them act on a state level? How quickly would the Obama regime take out dissident lawmakers and Governors in places like Wyoming if they didn't like the direction that state was heading.

It's not like 1860 where you can sit safely 600 miles away from DC and calmly plot your secession in open session, with occassional letters informing FedGov what's happening. We live in world of Rapid Response.

So, I don't know. So far the states, even the red states have been gutless. I guess Montana held out on speed limits for a while. I'm not expecting much from any of them, sadly.

FedGov™'s standing army of 500K(and shrinking) isn't going to occupy any single state. Let alone the entire South. That would require an Army of 10 million. Do the math.

I wouldn’t write Wyoming off just yet. My sister and brother live there so I visit. In their town regular folks walk around armed, pistols/revolvers in cowboy type hip holsters. I can’t speak to Jackson where alot of Hollywood types live, but on the eastern side not too many happy with the current regime.
