“Headline from a recent ‘World Net Daily’ article: ”Think outside the box’: Lawmaker floats idea of state seceding to resist President-elect Trump.’ This lawmaker was in New York and suggested persuading ‘several nearby states’ to join in. Frankly, to be perfectly honest, if they want to do that, I would not object. I just hope they’d take California, Oregon, Washington, Colorado, Illinois, and Minnesota with them. The conversation about a ‘national divorce’ occasionally crops up, though it hasn’t reached tsunami-like proportions since 1860. … Any mention of ‘secession’ (and let’s be honest, ‘national divorce’ means somebody initiates a split) often brings calls of ‘treason,’ ‘traitor,’ ‘un-patriotic,’ and ‘Southern hick’ among a certain class of people, depending on who is suggesting it and who is listening.” (11/30/24)
