The very early stages of Red States telling the Blue Feds to fuck themselves in a way I don't think we've seen in a very long time. But you need to walk before you can run, and at least we're now at a snail-pace crawl instead of a standstill.
Hope that continues, and I also hope that we start getting state and local politicians who see that as an end to itself and who aren't simply using it as a stepping stone into federal office. Because you also need that sort of localist spirit if you're going to have a proper secessionist movement. Because Florida would be better served with Governor DeSantis and President Biden than President DeSantis and Governor Bush (or insert other loser here).
To this end, I think what we are seeing now is the new way of doing it. People got angry, almost let their anger boil over, then luckily some people actually saw what was coming and went "Oh wait, you're trying to play me again arent you?" At which point everyone started to calm back down and now people are getting smart about ways of dealing with the problems with the options we actually have instead of running to the glowing man and shouting Fed-posting.
Considering it has already started to happen, I foresee lots of invoking of the 10th Amendment in the future and, heres hoping, a move back toward "The United States Are..." instead of "The United States Is..."
