Of course America Will Survive. Did France survive the French Revolution? Did Russia survive the Soviet Revolution? The problem isn’t survival. The problem is there are some very, very bad times ahead. Where do we all start feeling the economic collapse brought on this year, what should I expect to be in full swing next year.

This is an issue and one that makes the Christian appear blind to Satan’s deception in this regard.

In fact, it is the very left’s behavior that has pushed many Christians to start treating Trump like the savior of our Nation. Oh, that may be a hard statement to reckon with at the moment, but I see it here on FR a lot.

” I sense that the Lord today would have me very, simply say, that we would do well to get our eyes off of Trump, get our eyes off of this election, get our eyes off of this world, and refocus our eyes upon Jesus.” J.D. Farag, Now What 11/9/2020, YouTube https://youtu.be/z903nKjxWyA

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

Well, we'd better make sure we don't seceed control of all shipping ports. I suggest we insist on taking Southern California.

I agree. President Trump just slowed the eventual destruction of our country that has been happening slowly for the last 30 years or more.

“Divine intervention?”

I would say God has already intervened. He sent Trump.

Who is talking about a war? We are talking about a secession. Different things.

One will lead to the other. To believe that the leftists will allow the states that produce most of the food, as well as most of the oil and natural gas used on the continent (despite their incessant yammering on about the evils of carbon) to leave without a significant fight is very naive.

It'd be fun to use that as a wedge issue to "sell" the idea of secession, though. "Here's your opportunity to do away with fossil fuels in your communities and save the planet..."

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.


Easier said than done.

There are military installations, Federal lands, Interstate highways and so on, all owned by the Federal government, and funded via our tax dollars....
The Feds will not allow a state to secede, and will use Federal troops to protect it’s assets.

Ain’t gonna happen..

Charles they don’t want us an we don’t want them. Nobody is going to die to keep the red states in the union. That thought is laughable. You are a fool to think so.

A secession or patriots will destroy the GOP. Better to have a conservative wing of a one party system/country than a feckless GOP. Plus I hate coward Tories more then lefties.

Soros wants chaos and ultimately the destruction of the US. Now that the media is finally investigating the Bidens, and it looks like the election may be decided by state legislatures, there is the possibility of an explosion of violence from Soros’ minions.

It's not that big of an issue.

As said earlier, the far greater issue is pastors ignoring the evil from the left, ignoring the clear alliance the left has with principalities and powers; a clearly demonic alliance.

The idea that Trump worship is real, or a major problem is moronic, and might I say, just as demonic as anything else from the left.

You think they don’t want ALL the ports, all the farms, all the natural resources, all the production facilities, all the military assets - to do with as they wish? Look at Soviet history. Look at post-WWII Chinese history. Of course they don’t want *us* - just everything we’ve got. Wake up and smell what you’re shoveling.

All the ports? I guess geography is not your string suit.

I gave some thought to your post to me.

I guess you’re right; those are significant barriers to anything like that.

Pearl Harbor was just ONE of Japan’s huge military attacks that week in 1941. They swept the Pacific.

In fact, according to folks who lived through it, all the news was bad in early 1942, with the sole exception of Doolittle’s Raid in April. Bad news was the order of the day until the victory in the Battle of Midway in June.

Americans have faced impossible “uphill” odds repeatedly. General George Washington narrowly avoided obliteration, complete destruction of his army and the Revolution itself, more than once.

We are a tougher people than most of us realize. Tough times don’t last but tough people do. Just keep your powder dry, prepare for the worst, and pray for the best. We will survive.
