Secessionist talk scares Liberals and makes their heads explode. They simply can’t bear the thought of losing one dime in revenue that they steal out of all of our wallets on a regular basis.

At present its is simply an academic exercise in discussion since there is no indication any state is ready to invoke its sovereign rights - yet... I do not see US armed forces shelling or bombing Americans in US cities these days. After all, how would that “look to the world”? And how we “look” and are “accepted” by others seems to be their primary motive. To whit, panties on the heads of Islamofascists is considered cruel by the Libtard Left.

Some use the “Waco” analogy. A state such as Texas invoking its right to succeed is not the legal equivalent of a “Waco” situation so Waco is not an accurate analogy or comparison and a completely different situation. The argument would be made that the succession was legal and a right.

As it stands now, I, too, see little probability of any state seceding from the Union. Just as the War of Independence was supported by a minority of colonists, the majority will do nothing but talk. If history is any indication of the future, it will take a crisis, such as war, starvation, or invasion to stir the masses into action. The Statists will continue control the populus with bread and the circus. The founding fathers learned from the history of Rome and tried to find safeguards to keep the nation from following in its footsteps, but who reads history in this day?
