For one thing, there is a HUGE difference between being a keyboard commando versus firing a weapon at someone, etc. mThere's also a big difference in the occasional protest getting out of hand than full scale conflict. Sure, there may be a few outliers that go off the deep end but, IMO, not enough where all Hades breaks loose.

Shooting at someone isn't even close to getting shots fired back. LOL

Yep, which is why I don't think a full scale civil war is in the cards.

Agreed but no way the federal government lets any states succeed. It will be met with military force. Any politician that threatens breaking away from the union is playing to the fringe base. Mainstream voters, meaning most voters, don't want this. Just politicians being polticians

I do. I want the snowflake states of America, and a separate region called the Liberation States of America.. Or Liberty States of America... That name needs some work.. but yeah, I want to be separate from all of the leftist loons. I don't want to force my way of governance on them, and I don't want their version of governance on me. We should part peacefully. Because at this point in the development of social media and being "plugged in" nobody is going to be swayed to one side or the other. At least, I'm not changing MY views. I know some progressives who feel the same way. They ain't changing, bro.

I know it's hard to believe but every one doesn't have to agree with your views. More importantly those leftist states contribute tax revenue to the federal government that many red states, think Mississippi here, take in more than they pay up. That math needs to balance out and that is why succession will never happen even though they don't buy your brand of politics.
