>>Secession is a defensive reaction.
Ignore my last post. I thought this was about real secession and not just creating more states. I should have read the article first.
Secession of counties and regions from states may lead to the secession of states and regions from the union. The important thing is that groups of people are thinking more about limited government and self determination. A small free state could become a magnet for entrepreneurs, small business, and self reliant individuals; they could create their own bank (like ND) and allow for transactions based in PMs. A small free state could go further, faster especially if decidely rural and populated by conservatives. Leftists could be discouraged as long as the state promoted gun rights, home schooling/ vouchers, family values, and discouraged welfare.
Mountainous regions probably offer the best chance or resisting federal invasion; just look how long Switzerland has survived as a confederation.
It’s not secession from the fedgov... it’s sections of states seceding and reforming new states.
I think it’s ridiculous. The EXISTING states just need to exert their 10th amendment sovereignty, tell the fedgov to pound sand, and then let people vote with their feet.
