With the Democrats' maniacal actions since January 6th, not to mention Leftist tech giants, a fawning and mendacious press, street-mob organizations, and Obama-styled weaponized federal agencies aiding and abetting Democrats, endless conflict is all but predictable. No one can guarantee the USA will exist for the duration of the decade, let alone the next four years, or even this year.
Our 245-year experiment in representative democracy is rapidly fraying at the edges, and not merely because of anarchists and agitators or a contested election. Big money has always been the controlling factor in Washington D.C. Today, the levels of influence peddling are unprecedented and getting worse.
No Middle Ground
Democrats and Republicans once sought to join together on critical issues for the good of the Union, at least some of the time. Today partisan politics predominates. We now approach $28 trillion in debt and $153 trillion in unfunded liabilities, a level that is unconscionable and represents theft of our children's and grandchildren's heritage. Concurrently, Communist China increasingly operates in the foreground to undermine our every institution.
The sentiment that the U.S. is a global force for good is a sentiment shared by at least half of our friends around the globe, and even begrudgingly by our enemies after the dust settled -- think Germany and Japan -- but the sentiment cannot be as potent when there is constant internal strife. Domestic dissension and sedition, the lobbying stranglehold, and outright Leftist treason has left our friends befuddled and our enemies bemused and emboldened.
Meanwhile, the world is suffering, beyond the ravages of the coronavirus and in ways that few people could have predicted. More refugees populate the earth than ever before. Human trafficking, often a euphemism for sexual slavery, is a blight on "civilized" societies. The world population is now approaching 8.0 billion people, up from 5.0 billion people in 1985.
Bursting at the Seams
In the U.S. whether or not the mainstream press will ever address the reality, the waves of illegal immigrants from 2008 to 2020 have strained our resources, while Biden and company promise to open the floodgates. Local and state governments are bursting at the fiscal seams.
Crime is rampant among communities with an influx of illegal aliens. A visit to the Drug Enforcement Administration website reveals the country of origin of those criminals most wanted by the D.E.A. in cities across America. Hint: Overwhelming it is Mexico.
Despite record amounts spent on education, our schools were already failing, before the current shutdowns. Minority academic underachievement has been near-constant for decades, even in the most "progressive" communities with the most "progressive-thinking" teachers. Hordes of immigrant children, primarily hailing from Latin America, will further strain school districts.
Fracturing along Ideological Lines
On the East Coast and the West Coast, deep pockets of liberalism prevail. In the center of the country, conservatism prevails. Communities are organizing along political divisions and feel "the other side" simply doesn't get it: espousing policies, theories, and beliefs contrary to the best interests of our civilization.
Personally, I don’t wish to reside in a land dominated by the fake news media, the current Senate and Congressional leaders, billionaire "progressives" bent on censorship, sell-out corporations, a two-tier justice system, and a school system designed to poison the minds of our children.
The U.S. might fracture and become two or three countries. The geography for such a partition, of course, is not convenient. How do you combine California, Oregon, and Washington, with New England and the left-leaning Mid-Atlantic States? They are joined together by ideology, while thousands of miles apart.
If we the U.S. were to split into two nations, beyond the inconvenient geography many problems would occur from legal, political, and trade standpoints.
No Going Forward Like This
Regardless, we cannot continue in the current mode. The far-left is pulling away from everyone else in the nation, even from rank and file "progressives." The age of the "somewhat reasonable" progressive, if there ever was one, is passing rapidly.
Many on the right would just as soon let the rabble-rousers go: What is the point of trying to maintain the Union with people who wish to "re-educate" you?
All the above points to the reality that the U.S. as we know it could soon be irretrievable.
That was not a winnable election, be honest with yourself.
How can we even boycott electronic voting? What’s to stop them from “voting” for us and have completely artifical vote tallies?
America is the Land of double prizes.
America saves the world because salvation is of the Jews.
How to secede is the question. Along what lines?
How are you going to have secession when literally the street you live on is divided?
I don’t want secession. Secession means ceding land and resources. Our enemies are inherently imperialistic and will never leave us alone. Their worldview demands that from them. The only solution is conquest.
State by state. Theoretically a red state can enforce martial law on a few major cities easier than a blue state can enforce martial law on the entire countryside and suburbs. Red states are in the driver seat when it comes to counterinsurgency.
Secession cedes federal authority. The states remain the same.
We just saw a video from a truck stop somewhere in Texas. Armored carriers with mounted Fifty cals moving through. I have seen a lot of military convoys being from Fla and this was the first time with full armaments locked and loaded. This is going to get interesting soon.
No, I don't believe that is hyperbole anymore.
And I think the CIC is a guy named Donald Trump. :)
You have to try or accept tyranny. Your call.
California should leave America as they no longer want to be American. If that happens most of America’s problems end.
If war is coming, then it should be for the whole country. Not pleading to be left alone on some reservation.
First thing is to win the separatist civil war. Freaking move out of blue to red..
Exactly!
Look, if this goes hot, foreign intervention is absolutely going to happen. California is going to have Chinese off the coast. Patitioning the United States means a power vacuum, which is why the goal should be to preserve as much of its territorial integrity as possible.
No, the left just pulled off their vote fraud again, enabled by republicans so blinded by their Trump hatred they couldn't see the real enemy.
They announced they were going to do it for months and no one lifted a finger to stop it.
Free speech and individual liberty died on Nov 4 — yes, when illegal votes were still being accepted. That was the last chance to have a free and honest election in this country. Mid-terms will mean nothing. When the new Admin secures both houses of the legislature all Federal elections after that will be required to use the same processes and hardware as was used in Mi, Pa, etc. The historic DNC losses will be readily reversed. In fact, since the Proles will be told again and again by the MSM that everything is going swimmingly, there will be historic gains. This will rapidly trickle down to state legislatures so that amendments to the US constitution will be unstoppable.
I will not argue against your point
However, secession is a political act and requires political control. Direct action by citizens who have lost their freedom may be needed to provoke the cowardly politicians to act.
