Conservative radio icon Rush Limbaugh believes the political landscape in America makes it possible that the nation is “trending toward secession.”

Limbaugh, a Presidential Medal of Freedom recipient, made the observation during a broadcast of his show on Wednesday.

A question was posed by his producer wondering if Republicans would ever be able to win elections again if they’re not able to make headway in strongly blue cities and states.

...

Those quotes involve “bloggers” who Limbaugh has observed writing extensively that “there cannot be a peaceful coexistence of two completely different theories of life, theories of government, theories of how we manage our affairs.”

Leftists are telling you those are Limbaugh’s own words when he was simply making an observation about what others have said.

Shortly thereafter, Limbaugh had this to say:

I know that there’s a sizable and growing sentiment for people who believe that that is where we’re headed whether we want to or not. Whether we want to go there or not. I myself haven’t made up my mind. I still haven’t given up the idea that we are the majority and that all we have to do is find a way to unite and win.

Not a man advocating for secession rather than a man who is simply stating he believes this is where things are heading based on what others have said about red states being unable to have a say in elections.
