Could Secession Succeed?
2020-12-15
It's Kurt.
[Townhall] There’s an undeniable pleasure in imagining the blue states cut off from America and forced to fend for themselves without normal Americans to feed them, fuel them, and defend them from the kind of dirtbags they kiss up to in order to show us knuckle-dragging Jesus-folk what for. But secession is a terrible idea, for them, but more importantly, for us. And while I don’t think America will unravel anytime soon — though those of us who read real history instead of silly oppression studies dreck understand that all great civilizations do eventually collapse — it remains possible that our country could fall apart in the short-term. Heaven knows the idiots in our useless Establishment seem to be doing everything possible to make that happen. That thought itself should be enough to inspire you to get fighting for the Constitution, using its provisions twice as hard despite the election theft last month, while hedging your bets with a 5.56mm rainy day fund.

Yes, the irony is clear that a guy like me who drew the fussy, femmy ire of the cruise-shilling Fredocon hacks and their cheesy blogs over his best-selling books about America splitting into red and blue nations is saying "Secession no!" Yet I was never a supporter of a national divorce, as tempting as it is to walk out on the libs for a younger, hotter, and less annoying partner. My five conservative action novels are based in a world where the country is ripped in two by the Left, and the latest, "Crisis," takes place as this schism is happening. There's action and humor, and Eric Swalwell shows up – no, not with some Chi-Com hooker, but definitely with the pungency for which he is renown – but it all looks far too much like real life to be comfortable. My books are a warning, not a how-to manual.
I've almost finished re-reading the first four, and will move on to Crisis next.
In my books, the Democrats destroy our national bonds through a combination of corruption, arrogance, incompetence, malice, and a transcendent lack of wisdom. Unfortunately, subject to some unlikely electoral deus ex krakena, it appears that we will be subjected to an asterisk-marked Democrat president and an accompanying administration that epitomizes corruption, arrogance, incompetence, malice, and a transcendent lack of wisdom. So, that's scary.

#10  Will it work? Only if it is attempted.

#9  My books are a warning, not a how-to manual. It wouldn't be the first time fiction became real.

#8  "Will the world leave us alone while we have our family spat?" When the cat's away the mice will most likely kill each other. They are already doing that anyway.

#7  The one factor that always seems to be left out of any talk about a split is "Will the world leave us alone while we have our family spat?". Hint: uh-uh.

#6  As always, Kurt Schlichter is worth reading in full.

#5  I'd rather the blue cities left the USA. I love the USA and they don't. Let them go independent. They'll have open borders and hefty welfare states and minimal militaries. This will help draw the problem children out of the remaining states and ensure the new city-states are no threat.

I'd also prefer Trump not create a new party, he currently owns the GOP and the NeverTrumpers should leave the party if they don't like it. I'm not going to let pseudo lefty hucksters claim the party of Abe Lincoln and Reagan.
