progressives could move to states with riots, high taxes, and reparations,

Conservatives pay their 24% tax rates to the Republican government and Democrats pay their 50% tax rates to their government.
So what's different from today? We have states that already receive less than what they paid into the system and others that receive more than they paid into it.
Things are so polarized politically it almost seems like we have a 2 state government battling on every single topic. It's brutal

You'd have to establish 10? 15? 20? years of residency inside a state to be able to vote in local/state elections

True, but I guess we can then hope they will trade a fair deal on their technical advancements. I guess states can make a deal with a couple of Asia's top producers as well

I’m not mad at anyone right now. Stupid people are still stupid. Regular people are working. Kids are doing kid stuff. Gravy is still fat.

Should the Federal government do anything if local and state governments refuse to protect their citizens? These are American citizens being terrorized by criminals. Should we allow states rights (as in their right to be pussies and do nothing) go without concern? If your answer is 'yes' then you're a moron
Yes, let them do as they please. As long as they are not interfering with the rights of citizens of the other states. What you are suggesting, that the feds run the states, is what has caused the problems. Our state and local governments have become insulated from their folly. This has caused them to become infantilized, and has resulting in their beclowning themselves. Let them face the consequences of their decisions. They will mature and correct their problems.

Secession would be viewed as racist. The fighting would be in state first. What kinda domino affect that has I’d anyone’s guess

The Feds have atomic bombs. States don’t.

No, nor should there have been the first time, any state should be able to leave for whatever reason it wishes.

Those rights being Life, Liberty, and the pursuit of Happiness. There are some lines even incompetent or misguided public servants are not allowed to cross. We sure as hell meddle in human rights issues outside of the US. We damn well have an interest in protecting our own citizens.

The sooner the citizenry realizes that we got the nuts in this deal, the better.
And make no mistake: We WILL, eventually, realize this.

Yup. And then charge them a butt load for their imported electricity.

This is just stupid.. Countless confrontations happen acroos the globe and a nuke is never brought into play..
If a nuke was ever unleashed again it would probably be the end of humanity as we know it..
