“Oh and yes, people who live there are no longer Americans.”
How Maoist of you. May I remind you that there are some very, very patriotic Americans still in those states, and they would not shirk from giving their last full measure of devotion to protect and defend the United States.
Being patriotic is irrelevant. Thinking American is irrelevant.
You are a citizen of a state that has in effect seceded from the American union and you are powerless to do any thing about it.
