You can't secede. There's no legal mechanism.

You've just got to try to preserve voting rights, and tighten up on gerrymandering, so that you get fewer of these minority-backed presidencies.

I don't know what you do about the damage said presidents have done to the supreme court. With sufficient influence in the house of reps and the senate they can be removed for being placed there to be a hack.

With enough force, everything becomes legal.

The difficulty would be getting enough force. They tried to storm the capital to stop the democratic transfer of power. There were maybe 10,000 people, a few armed with pipe bombs, but mostly they were armed with raw stupidity. One was armed with a bison skin hat, with not particularly sharp horns.

Not one bought a substantial airforce. Much less even one modern tank.

Lol they went and protested. No one stormed anything. If that was an act of insurrection, then so were the race riots, and occupy wall street. Look, actuallynot, why are you so dead-brained?

800 people breached the capitol building.

What did they do? Plant bombs? Get in a shootout with cops after Ashley got lit up?

No. They took silly pictures and videos. They acted much like the left but without the rioting.

You are a desk jockey.

Attacked police, killing one officer and inuring 140.
