Always funny to me that "democracies" will do whatever it takes to prevent a region from exercising it's inherent rights to self-government. Coming soon to the USA.

The South shall rise again!

As a member of the Sons of Confederate Veterans I agree!

But to Jagnuats point - It was the GOP who started the war against states rights in the 1860's. It was not until after the Dem's passed the Civil and voting rights act in the 1960's that southerners migrated to the GOP.

That's the dumbest f'n analogy I've ever seen by you Progs. So, according to you Leftists, the South's Dems got pissed at the national Dems who wanted civil rights so they jumped to the GOP party....who also wanted civil rights. In what f'n warped worldview does that even remotely make sense? The CRA of '64 would have never passed without the GOP.
