It may be time to seriously consider secession

[intrepidity]

I've never really thought that, but if Trump, in 7 days, declares the emergency over (in effect), it may be time for some of us to just GTFO.

1. Yep. 1 country, 2 systems. Issue red and blue cards

let citizens decide which card they want.

2. Not a good idea.

The union doesn’t look kindly upon secession, and it will carry a heavy cost for states that try it ... VA, NC, SC, GA, FL, AL, MS, TN, TX, LA, and AR. It really did suck. Don’t try it.

3. I don't think he will do that in 7 days; but, if he does, states rights might

actually have a place. Don’t think the governors will go for it.

4. Can you emancipate from your president?

5. No, this is a terrible idea and exactly what Putin wants.

Remember that plot to get California to secede a couple of years ago? That was a Russian hit job and did exactly what it was supposed to do - divide and conquer people further.

Trump may have gone mad with power, and needs a kick in the ass, but this is definitely not that kick.
