re: #69 BadExampleMan

They’re going to lose the next three to four (national) election cycles anyway. But they seem to be happy as a rump/regional party. Even if all they can do is impede and prevent progress at the national level, being able to sell off various states to the highest bidder keeps them fat and happy.

A big factor driving secessionist talk and sovereign citizen BS is the growing realization among the right wing that they are going to tend to lose national elections in the future. So, if they don’t control the federal government they want to deny that it has any power over them. So much for democracy———notice how many of them resort to that lame “But we’re not a democracy, we’re a Republic!” rhetoric?

These people need civics and history lessons.
