No flaming from me.
The separation thing is a complicated remedy. Like a divorce. (I’ve never experience one of those, only observed others who have.)
Recently I attended a meeting of a new Amateur Radio club in my area. One of the men there made an appeal after the meeting to collect signatures for a vote to put on the ballot Texas returning to the Republic of Texas. I did see one young man, from a family of early settlers in the region, sign it.
I explained to them that I’m not yet ready to encourage that and had not given up recovering the entire nation. And I pray daily for God’s help with that.
If it ever becomes necessary to leave, Texas will not be alone.
It is ironic that the civil war was partly fought over ending slavery. If another CW happens it will be to avoid the global slavery that Klauss and his Davos buddies wants to force us into. That is totally against the nature of the USA. And totally foreign to Texas.
“…I’m not yet ready to encourage that and had not given up recovering the entire nation.”
Me either. I wouldn’t advocate or encourage any states to secede - my issue is that it is essential that the states are free to secede.
Just as I would hate for my wife to decide to divorce me, it is important to me that she always knew she was free to divorce me. That is the only way to assure that it was always an entirely consensual partnership - which is the only true partnership.
Some people actually use (abuse, I think) religion to take away that freedom to quit an unhappy marriage - by convincing them they will go to Hell if they seek a divorce. This kind of brainwashing and coercion inevitably leads to tyranny.
I hate to see people resorting to divorce, or states resorting to secession - but unless we have the right to quit an abusive arrangement - there is NO liberty at all - because would-be tyrants of the world will know that their tyranny will go uncontested.
Sadly, this is exactly what going on right now - the Left is doubling down and testing the limits of their tyranny. Stealing elections in broad daylight and then considering us terrorists if we protest. Mass misinformation and censorship. Destroying our economy. Weaponizing the national security state agencies against patriots of the opposition party. Censorship. Covid lockdowns and forced vaccines. Open borders. Green new deal. Globalist surrender to the CCP. Demonizing the 2nd Amendment.
At this point they know we won’t secede. They know we won’t fight back.
