The US has entered into some unexplored regions….the whole mechanism of governing is seemingly being dismembered….some even say it is looking like a dictatorship.

The question has been asked….can we solve this problem with a political solution?

Meaning through elections.

If successful then how do we rebuild a 200+ year tradition that has been lost?

I read an article that was a bit disturbing, at least for me, of one solution.

It takes the Civil War as a pseudo solution and a possible session of blue states….

Such a situation presents an unwelcome and uncomfortable choice, but one no less real for being so unsettling. The three bad options: dictatorship, revolution, secession.

A revolution would be inherently catastrophic, with no guarantee of victory. Might a secession of blue states, either individually or in concert, possibly be less violent and destabilizing? Of course, like a revolution, a secession could trigger a civil war, but one that would have the advantage of being a defensive rather than an offensive one. Ukraine has shown us that it’s possible to defend oneself against a far stronger military power for years. And that in turn might just discourage even an enraged dictator from military adventurism.

The advantages that geographic secession might have over general uprising should of course not blind anyone to the seismic upheaval either one of these two last-ditch courses would entail. But should that “when in the course of human events” day arrive, it may be useful to have thought through what the breaking of bonds might look like.

This course also has the advantage, in the event of success, of not needing to reinvent government. California and other blue states already provide protection of civil rights and regulation of industries for their residents. A revolution certainly would provide no such protection during the fight and quite possibly not after either. And the disruption to people’s lives would be enormous.

Tactics to Survive Dictatorship: Secession Enters the Conversation

Since most people think that there are two Americas here…..is this solution likely?

There has got to be an answer to all this divisiveness….or this country is truly entering into its final days.

Please I am not advocating one way or another all I am doing is presenting an idea so keep the hate to a minimum and give us your thoughts.

Or if you have a better solution then by all means drop it on us for we need all solutions to be presented and analyzed….there is an answer….some we may not like but if we are to keep this country united and together we need to act and act soon.
