In his eyes, people like Kyle should mind their own business and stay in their homes because they have no right to interfere.
That's been what leftists are all about for a long time - let me do what I want and destroy what I don't like and get no repercussion.
The only thing America needs to do is secede. At this point, there's no winning the culture war. People thinking after this trial, things will be better are joking themselves.
Time to go Animal Farm on the left. Secession is for babies and daydreamers. I fucking want it all, from sea to shining sea. They can have the sea. Or eat lead, their choice.
Deus Vult? Thy will be done. I enjoy a downhill ride. There isn’t enough space as it is, and a return to agrarian culture and economy would be an overall improvement. If its going to burn down regardless, then buy matches. Their kind wont be welcome there, or needed or even capable of contributing to the reconstruction.
Do you know what the reality of "agrarian culture and economy" looks like today?
It's a neo-baron sitting fifteen feet in the air on a bigass harvester that weighs as much as a locomotive and costs about a million dollars. It drives itself and he's just there to sip coffee and listen to the talk radio, and push the brake if a deer gets in the way (or maybe not; corn heads can handle ingesting smallish animals).
Hundred years ago a farmstead was measured in acres. Nowadays it's in square miles. Typical farmer today can work a knight's fee worth of land with just a couple helpers with CDL's to drive the grain trucks.
I know there are whole TOWNSHIPS worth of land (essentially, baronies) under single ownership out in Nebraska. At that scale, it isn't even about the grain, they're usually feeding pigs or chickens.
That's the optimistic position. The realistic one is to make Rwanda look like an afternoon in the park, because there's no way to split, and even if there were, they'll never let us leave.
I think people who think like you do get too hung up on the performative, de jure aspects of governance, rather than focusing on the de facto reality on the ground.
You haven't spent enough time out in the corn.
The previous nullification battle was marijuana. It is now the case that, in many states, the federal government has been shown to be completely toothless. The laws are still on the books, but you can go buy an ounce openly, on a credit card even.
The next hurdle will be firearms. I believe in the next ten years the reality on the ground will diverge radically from BATF rules. In 2040, there will be states where you'll be able to procure suppressors, SBRs, and open bolt full autos openly. The laws will still be on the books, but local law enforcement cooperation will be zero in the red states.
Assuming Washington hasn't already given up the ghost at that point and admitted that the country as a whole has become ungovernable.
It may not be a realistic end goal but it is the correct sentiment to hold. This is yet our country, it's worth fighting for and immediately capitulating to a stance of compromise will prevent the gathering of strength needed to even stake out a position from which a compromise can be brokered, rather than simply being obliterated.
If things were to play out such that there was a war I'd love to say I'd enlist on the Constitutionalist side to fight against the communists, but man after I join I'd worry about what parts end up splitting which way because the side with the funding and ability to make or get more equipment will have a serious advantage.
Have you looked at a map? It would be a full court press going west. Money doesn’t matter when you’re backed against the ocean and everything is on fire.

Well, that's not a realistic option.
Nullification leading to partition is the normal end of empires.

That's not going to happen.
