Really? Quebec came *this* close to seceding a few years back.And Scotland has a referendum coming up later this year.
My point is that the electorate has changed so much that the numbers in our favor are just not there. Look at the increase in South American immigrants (not prone to having American values anyway...they’re here for the ride) and the number of people on food stamps and other forms of welfare. I don’t think that the latter category will be willing to give it up.
And Texas (which is considered the leader in such a scenario of secession) is trending blue.
At least that’s the way I see it. But I’ve never thought of myself as a cock-eyed optimist, anyway. You obviously see things differently...and you may right—I hope so.

See post 41. I meant to address that post to you but unfortunately, I didn’t.
