If there is one upside to this, its that this situation has red pilled a fuck ton of people. They now realize that relying on any one man or group to fix shit doesn't work. Never has. We have the duty and obligation to save the Republic ourselves. Relying on Trump, Q, the military, or anyone else led to where we are now. We have to be the ones to save ourselves. Hopefully people understand that now. In the long term, if it wakes people the fuck up, losing like we have may actually turn out to be a godsend.
As for secession, I believe it's the only way now. I'd say we're in full blown conflict within a year. 6 months at the very least. I know my fellow Texans and the first time these idiots in Washington try their gun grab, we're gone.
Quoting: Anonymous Coward 72725408 Yes, and I believe your first sentiments hold true across the political spectrum and have reached many at a place of liberty rather than party, a place of individual thought rather than the swallow of wholesale (and retail) obvious bullshit.
As characteristic of coups, they abruptly went 'all in', which has many - not enough yet but many - at least questioning the events happening around them...the "Wait, what?!" expression. The number will dramatically increase over the subsequent months with even more egregious violations of liberty and institutions.
But, for those who choose to follow the path of totalitarian control rather than liberty, which prevents coexistence due to diametric opposition, this Adams' quote comes to mind:
"If ye love wealth better than liberty, the tranquility of servitude better than the animating contest of freedom, go home from us in peace. We ask not your counsels or arms. Crouch down and lick the hands which feed you. May your chains set lightly upon you, and may posterity forget that ye were our countrymen."
I am one of your fellow Texans.
