“They need their own space and freedom lovers need their own space. Common sense.”

They don’t see it that way. You’re occupying their space. You can stay there if you like, and grow the food and make the gadgets, and deliver it all to their supermarkets. But on their terms, which are not good. Don’t secede. Eject THEM from the Union like a splinter from your finger. See how they like being Mexican citizens. Oregon and Washington can go to Canada and experience socialism first hand.

Taxes and outlays are porportional. If the USA split in two then USA would only need to provide welfare etc. to half the number they used to give away tax dollars to.

The standing federal army is a woke joke ( and tiny). I would say 50% would defect to the other side if CWII were to start. Did you know there are more armed LEO than armed US troops?

I see you completely misunderstood my post.

NOT EVERY JEW “boarded the death trains using their own two feet”, had they, I guess there wouldn’t have been a CHAPLAIN VICTOR M. SOLOMON to speak yo me that day.

There are always going to be a lot of misled sheep in the flock and not enough sheep dogs to protect them all.

I have seen a lot of your posts, there seems to be a certain theme that runs through them when it comes to Jews.

That’s on you, live with it.

A liberal x-friend feels the same way. Blue areas would be better off if red areas went away.. Seriously. Blue areas dont like supporting red states.

otoh the founding fathers feared the rise of urban areas and some pushed for land ownership as a pre-req to vote. imagine if only a land/home owner could vote..

.LA NYC ATL CHICAGO HOUSTON would all not be able to sway any election. 20,000,000 votes disappearing from libs!!

Believe that if is comforting. Challenge the Beltway and unlimited war will follow,and I mean air and drone strikes. Plenty of woke and careerists in the armed forces who will have no compunction to use the full array of what the Army and Marines have. Two million armed resisters, a joke,

Counties need to band together and create new states.

Pakistanis and muslim black Africans are barbarians and judge risking their hides for real hard currency worthwhile.Burning down towns and rape, looting and murder will be easy. I have yet to believe the gun ownership stats mean much when people with small arms are going to be going up against air strikes, drones, armored vehicles and lots of automatic weapons. The NRA blabber is just a lot of hot air.

If one state were to secede, would others join; would the floodgates open up?

**********

The politicians are too heavily invested in the status quo to allow any kind of secession movements to threaten their careers. Just saying.

CW1 began when several ELECTED state legislatures voted by wide margins to secede.

Today, establishing Red America isn't going to happen unless a whole lot of officeholders get on board. The linked article notes that one lone Republican state rep filed a bill to create a committee "to develop a plan for achieving Texas independence." A committee to plan! How bold!

Most of our current electeds are happy with the status quo. They won't support any major change.

Re: "Your statement implies that you consider the situation now is without violence and without economic destruction?"

Compared to 1861-65, the current situation has almost no violence or economic destruction.

IF Texas keeps all the income tax monies collected here, social security monies collected here, etc., for all “federal” taxes collected here from Texans -— we would have enough to take care of all the legal citizen Texans’ SS, medicare, etc., in our state with money left over. Texas is a net tax dollars supplier to the fed gov which then sends Texas dollars to the blue states that depend on our workers and our tax money to keep them afloat.

The socialist communist marxist Democrats at fed gov will fight to keep Texas because they need our milk and honey to survive, and they know it!!!

What theme is that? You can start with providing some quotes and links. If it's a, "Theme", you shouldn't have any trouble.

I think maybe our best hope might be our county sheriffs. Some are terrible (Maricopa Co. Sheriff). But some are very good. They have the authority to deputize citizens.

None of them made a fuss when ordered to set up an armed camp around the capitol to protect a usurper.

Why should we secede and let the commies have any of the beautiful land our people built? They hate it anyway. I say we kick them out like we did the Tories in 1783.
