When Abraham Lincoln spoke the prophetic words "a house divided against itself cannot stand" — in a speech before the Illinois Republican state convention in 1858 — he was a relatively unknown politician. He saw the obvious: North and South were hopelessly divided over the issue of slavery — or more fundamentally, states' rights — and a breakup was all but all but unavoidable. This came to pass in just a few years' time in the form of the Civil War.
Is America nearing a similar point in 2021?

when /where did the lie ,”biden was elected to unify us “ start ? He ( those few the really voted for him) was not “orange man bad “. Pure and simple .He was a cipher to those who don’t follow his lying /nasty career .Those informed knew exactly what he was going to so based on his revealed obama possee .We didn’t know how illegal all his resets would be

The end of the article says it all, paraphrase I will not and why should red states be dictated by far away elites that I/we disagree with morally. I've always said put up not trespassing signs on red states, stop paying taxes then see who thrives and survives. Don't travel to Washington DC elect a leader of red states forming a government in Florida for example or Texas. Restrict blue state people from moving to red states let them stay where they live now and just die on the vine in their states.
Joe Biden is a fraud along with Harris they both know it. We have no functioning government just a cabal of misfits trying to rule us until we submit.

We can have a 'civil' civil war. Split the country in half, in one country would be all the normal, decent, patriotic, God-fearing, hard working Americans and in the other all the democrats.

In our case, the house is not divided against itself, There are clear lines between a group of malconted people with zero brain function and those who live productive lives using what God game them. If the battle is inevitable, let's get it started now. My money is on the people with the brains and the guns.

FTA: "It's also why the Supreme Court refused to hear any challenge to the flawed 2020 election."
Enough, already. The Supreme Court has no standing in the Presidential election. The Constitution makes it clear, from the legislatures to Congress, who is responsible for the vote process, naming electors, counting the electoral votes after hearing challenges, and certifying the winner. Nowhere is SCOTUS mentioned. So, let's get past this canard. More than one Federal judge told those representing Trump interests that the proper place for their case was before the state legislatures...but lawyers would rather litigate. Sidney, Rudy and Lin did a damn good job, with the help of many others, in fruitless legal appeals.
As for secession...let's see who goes first. What binds this union is federal largesse, and no state will abandon that sugar teat.

It is well past time for this to happen. Living amidst these fools, liars and thieves is taking a toll on the best of us. The evil is suffocating. What was the United States of America has succumbed to a deadly cancer. The time for surgery has past, and no amount of intensive chemotherapy is going to help. It is time for rebirth, using the original material and intent of our Founding Fathers. This could be a very exciting time to live. Let us lift our hearts to God, and let Him lead us forward.

Well, let’s see....
Our side has 400 million guns, billions of rounds of ammunition, most of the combat veterans, and most of the people who can “skin a buck and run a trot line” as Hank Williams Jr. said.
Their side has the city dwellers who don’t have trucks or 4-wheel drives and don’t know which end of the barrel the bullet exits. They think food comes from grocery stores, and they need “trigger warnings” and “safe spaces”.
Any bets on how that will end?

It will happen. And the conservative States will take on the national debt as the buyout price.

Unless the dims, deep state, msm, and globalists wake up and stand down now, America is indeed on a secession course.

The Republic of Texas approaches.
Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas, Nebraska, S Dakota, N Dakota, Montana, Alberta (Canada), Saskatchewan (Canada), Manitoba (Canada), and a few states along the sides. Let's go EAST. Louisiana, Mississippi, Alabama, Florida.
We have every shipping port in The Gulf of Mexico and half the Atlantic and more oil than the Saudis ever dreamed of.
California and New York can print their own money. If they want to trade they can use Panama. We WILL protect our borders ,north, south, east, and west.
If you're coming to visit Texas bring your US passport with the pre-approved visitor's visa.

If...(when)..it happens it will not be red/blue states, rather it will be urban centers vs the rest of us. The "battle" aspects will not be massed troops or large BANGS...it will be blockades..and it won't last long,will not be measured in years, but months or weeks. Highways, train lines, pipelines and power lines into those places shut off. The initial carnage within those cities will be horrifying, but it will not be "Us" that is doing it, it will be from their denizens against the weakest there. They will consume themselves...because cities are strictly consumer culture, they do not make, they do not plant, they do not manufacture, they do not generate, they do not produce "Real" stuff, they only eat. What isn't initially looted will be polluted, what food is on hand will rot, when the power goes off and the water pressure drops much of it will burn...the 1st winter will seal their fate.

Read Schlichters books on the subject. Got ChiComs in there - even though written a few years ago…

# 6 has the bottom line right, however disheartening his conclusion might be.
And it is not just the states that are hooked into federal largesse, but we the people as well. Social Security, Medicare, Disability, tax deductions for this, that and the other... we could go on and on. Comparatively few people are willing (or able) to seriously rock their own boats for an abstraction or an uncertain future.
And let's keep in mind that some red states are a deeper shade of red than others.
Secession, whether modified or absolute, is a pipe dream. A romantically appealing one to be sure, but a pipe dream nonetheless.

I am ready for a divorce from DC. The country is ran by DC politicians and global corporations. The people have no say in this government. The elections are all fixed. The candidates are chosen by DC and the global corporations.

#11 - You need to start with lower Virginia and the ports at Hampton Roads at the mouth of the Chesapeake, plus the massive Naval base with SEALS and Naval Air Station, need the ports/military installations in NC/SC, and GA.

#11, don’t leave South Carolina out of the mix. Charleston is a major port.

#11 leaves out 90% of British Columbia, outside the urban infestation in the SW corner that always votes commie.

#14 - Thomas Jefferson summarized it the best, “Prudence, indeed, will dictate that Governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.”

In my opinion the only thing required to save this nation is for the individual states to assert their rights and assume their responsibilities beginning with establishing adequate controls to prevent election fraud and therefore begin to rebuild confidence in our elections. This will put the nation back on a long path to begin following the constitution and building a better future for the citizens.
