What will happen when folks like Abbott and DeSantis tell the Feds under Kamala to Eff off and set secession in action? What happens when the NW area around Idaho do the same? Generally speaking, what happens when half the country decides to leave the USA and create their own country. Will the Dems of the East and West Coast in DC, try to stop the secession? Will a peaceable solution be found to a separation?

IMHO, the Leftist urbanites cannot let the Reds leave as their sustenance would be cutoff and the dependent Blues would have their hands out and up within a week.

What if employers ceased to collect taxes, SS, and insurance from paychecks?

Kathy, think. Who are they going to shoot at? Think of Texas ,the first drop out probably, shoot at Texans and sorry, East Coast, your oil is cut off. Shoot at the Red Mid-west and sorry, no more food, and that includes California’s Joaquin Valley, which is Red. Besides, how much of the military would favor shooting at Americans, much of them are from Red states.

They'll steal what they want from their unarmed neighbors and form gangs that cross state lines to prey on other states. Police will protect government, not citizens. After all, they still believe they'll get a pension if they can stick it out long enough.

Kathy, one comment. If a secession happens, there will be no pensions. There may be no police, just soldiers and rebels. A really big problem for the DC crowd will be who will the military back in a secession?

The military will back whoever pays them. That's what they did in Rome.

I disagree, much of the military are from all those states that would secede, they would probably go home to support their locals. Besides, if we have a civil separation, there will be no worthwhile cash to give them.

Yes, but they don't know that.
