Now there is even talk of some states seceding from the union. The situation really is grave.

He says that like it is a bad thing.

I know. I think secession is the answer right now.

Months in advance, Trump was already crying fraud, assuring his followers he could only lose if the election was rigged. (Of course, this has been a Trump mantra for years, quite unrelated to COVID.)

more garbage reporting

No, America will not survive in its current form. If some semblance of freedom is to be retained, there needs to be a division - most effectively into four regions. It’s time to stop pretending it can again become a unified nation. There is no unity, and the concept of nationhood hasn’t applied to this country in many years. We had a great run, but it’s time to go into salvage mode.

America, or more importantly, the idea that IS America will survive. Even if it is in the heart and mind of a freeman being persecuted by a tyrannical government. The Republic that was the physical manifestation of those ideas has in retrospect probably been on life support for a while. If the leftists and globalists manage to kick the power cord out at 12 noon, Jan 20, 2021, it will officially be dead. What comes after that is anybodies guess.

My hope is secession of many states from the USSA (formally known as the USA).

Good article in many ways.

I really think this take is wrong though: And I’ve not said a word about the massive spiritual crisis, as it seems that evangelical Christianity has become defined by solidarity with Trump more than by solidarity with Jesus.

The spiritual crisis isn't the conflation of Trump with Jesus, not at all. What hurts Christians most is the majority of pastors haven't been willing to, or capable of prophetically pointing out how demonically inspired the left is, their worship of secular domination and power, and their alignment with the spiritual forces of evil.

in the UK, Hitchens grapples with similar questions and, despite the headline, is absolutely scating about the Conservative Party:

Youtube: 42m: 13 Dec: Peter Hitchens: From Covid to Culture Wars - The Left’s Long March Through UK Institutions is Complete
The government, he argues, has embarked on the biggest and most expensive propaganda campaign in peacetime, to concince the British public to commit acts of enormous self harm that were wholly disproportionate and unjustifiable in relation to the severity of the pandemic...
He explains that much of the current “social justice” and culture war problems we see today originates in the Equalities Act of 2010, an Act brought in by the Labour Government but one which the Conservative Party — which by this point had become a Blairite Party led by the Blairite David Cameron — did little to oppose.

“If I were under 30 I’d have left (Britain) long ago”, Hitchens states. “I’ve never seen a country more finished — and I’ve seen some finished countries.” The problem Britain faces is that with our 2 party system (which Hitchens supports), it is impossible for a new party to rise up until there is a vacancy. This is how the Labour Party emerged to replace the Liberal Party — and this is the only way that the Conservative Party or Labour Party will in turn be replaced.

And all the while, the death count continues to soar.

Occasionally exceeding the daily CHOICE death rate.

I agree - secession is not only not a bad thing, it is probably the ONLY thing left to do without blood.

Judging from the reaction of some politicians and media people to this kind of talk, it seems they are taking it seriously.

We cannot live together obviously. Live and let live is an impossibility. I refuse to have the likes of kamala or aoc run my life.

God helps those who help themselves. God is not going to sort this out for us. We have to do it ourselves.

IMO The only thing that the two sides ( citizen level and not at the elite level ) agree on is the amicable divorce would be mutually beneficial. The normalcy crowd disagrees.

Secession is an opportunity, a chance at rebirth. A great thing.

But it's as good thing and not a bad thing.

The CCP is desperate for resources. Oil and grain.

They have targeted America as their solution. Open warfare on American soil is not an option. Nukes are not an option-destroys the breadbasket.

They have targeted us from within-and part of than incremental targeting process is the erasure of our history from the face of the world.

The Communist ideology/CCP is incompatible with the American Founders

It is that simple.

PDJT is the only national American leader comprehending this

“I think secession is the answer right now.”

Secession to what? How do you divide up the states?
