Law-abiding people would never go for secession. In the event that even one state did, lawfare would quickly squelch it. Those who endorsed it would personally be subjected to reprisal by the government. Banks would not be on their side. Property would be forfeit, funds frozen...nobody wants to go there.
During the discussion phase you’d find families torn apart by the pro and con of secession, and the state with its thumb on the scales, and you’d be worried about losing your guns and your kids, never mind the affection of relatives and friends.
We must accept this: Unlike the left we do not lift a finger. In fact, most of us would flunk the Milgram experiment, either before or after the “or else.”
The only practical course is a strike, and even that would need to be organized, you’d have to talk people into poverty for the sake of the nation, good luck with that. Who wants to live on less than $20k a year? Just to be...great again.

Secession being technically illegal anyway, it’s a non-starter. We don’t do illegal.

Can you post the part of the US Constitution that makes secession illegal? I'll wait.
