With Trump off the board now, barring some insane last minute victory, it looks like we face a President Harris timeline.
I shouldn't need to explain why that's the worst possible outcome, but I will anyway. She will use the power and resources of the United States to push the "future is female" agenda worldwide and crush their opponents both domestic and foreign.
Do we just lie low and hope to blend in? There's nowhere to go and nothing to stand behind.
Now we build the movement to call the Washington swamp illegitimate, and form a new government away from it.
Aye. It was always going to come to secession.
Just glad y'all are starting to realize it.
How does that work? It's clear the Capitol lacks the political will to do it.
Well, it would look like this:
It would require having the duly elected government of a state declaring the federal government illegitimate and directing the agents and militia of that state to do the following:
After this initial burst of activity, things kinda go into a holding pattern as the rest of the country responds. It's a foregone conclusion that the first state to secede will see both flight out and flight in as people pick which side of the line they want to be on.
The question is, what does DC do?
This time, I do not think a military resolution will occur.
You see, in a civil conflict when the military is directed to respond, it is on the individual members of it to decide where their loyalties are.
I suspect very strongly that the military, being 2/3rds republican and overwhelmingly pro-MAGA, will quit en-masse and be among those who move.
There will not be enough people left in the US with the experience and will to fight for DC to make a military response, so instead we'll get a standoff and de facto secession which is eventually made de jure.
Is there any state likely to actually do this? Even the most red states tend to have blue capitals and centers of power.
