On his radio program yesterday, Rush Limbaugh indicated his belief that our country may be trending towards secession by some states.
From the story at Mediaite:
Rush Limbaugh said on his radio show Wednesday that the U.S. may be “trending toward secession.”
As Limbaugh talked about liberal cities like New York and San Francisco, he took up a question of whether “we can win the culture.”
“I actually think — and I’ve referenced this, I’ve alluded to this a couple of times because I’ve seen others allude to this — I actually think that we’re trending toward secession,” he said.
“I see more and more people asking what in the world do we have in common with the people who live in, say, New York?” Limbaugh asked.
In the segment, first flagged by Media Matters, he said, “A lot of bloggers have written extensively about how distant and separated and how much more separated our culture is becoming politically and that it can’t go on this way. There cannot be a peaceful coexistence of two completely different theories of life, theories of government, theories of how we manage our affairs. We can’t be in this dire a conflict without something giving somewhere along the way.”

Rush is generally right, and he may well be right here. This all ties in with my piece from the past weekend titled “How Does America Recover From This? It Doesn’t.”
Past generations of Americans had plenty in common, the most obvious among those things being that we were all Americans and all but a tiny few felt an undying loyalty to this country. That love of country – taught in our schools, in our churches and promoted by the entertainment and news media industries – bound us together. We were Americans and damn proud of it.
But that has all changed in America today, specifically on the radical political leftwing, which now dominates the Democrat Party and its policy pursuits. As I discussed in that piece, our entire system of government and the viability of our constitutional Republic depends on the premise that the vast majority of those who govern us would be people of good will who love this country and are loyal to it. Sadly, that entire premise has now become extremely suspect in the Democrat Party, the party that dominates states like New York, which Rush referred to in that monologue.
Today’s Democrat Party not only tolerates having an Eric Swalwell among it, Nancy Pelosi assigns him to serve on the House Intelligence Committee, a post from which he could easily share America’s most tightly held national security secrets to his ChiCom honeypot. Today’s Democrat Party not only tolerates having a Dianne Feinstein – who employed a ChiCom spy as her chauffer for 20 years – in its midst, Harry Reid and Chuck Schumer assign her to serve as the Party’s senior member on the Senate Judiciary Committee, and as a member of the Senate Intelligence Committee.
Today’s Democrat Party not only tolerates having anti-Semitic, America hating members like AOC, Rashida Talib and Ilhan Omar in its midst, it celebrates them, gives them plum committee assignments and affords them heavy influence in the Party’s agenda.
Today’s Democrat Party not only tolerates having ChiCom sellouts like Joe and Hunter Biden in its midst, it celebrates them, covers up for them and even rigs its presidential nomination for an elderly, declining lifelong circus clown as a reward.
The abject hatred of America and everything it stands far among those on the radical political left is not only glaringly evident in Congress, we can see it every day rioting in the streets and issuing heinous diatribes on Twitter, Facebook and other social media platforms. We are at a point in this country where one cannot wear a cap expressing a desire for this country to be great again without being physically assaulted on the streets with the full sanction of many local mayors and the entirety of the corrupt national news media. We are at a point in our country where one risks assault by admitting he or she works in the oil industry or goes to church. We are at a point in our country where major city Democrat mayors like Bill De Blasio feel free to repeatedly attack, chastise and discriminate against Jews and Christians.
What do people in Texas or Oklahoma or North Dakota or Louisiana or Alabama have in common with people in New York or California or Seattle or Portland anymore? Not much, and in very large part, not even love of country.
So, when Rush Limbaugh says he thinks we are trending towards secession, he should be taken seriously.
That is all.
I’m for cutting the blue states loose. Separation would be complicated at least.
I’ll be the first in line.
The northeast and the west coast could survive on their own. They have ports, infrastructure, and population, but any secession would mean a mass migration of people looking to escape what that would mean. The remaining interior states and the south would need to come down hard on communism and socialism and move the needle back toward originalist sentiments. We can’t be wishy washy on this if we want to succeed.
I pray to God the Western Maryland Secession movement finally goes full tilt.
Is America “Trending Towards Secession”?
Wasn’t that already tried a while ago? How did that work out?
Not so good, I’ve heard.
I would support my Great State of Texas leaving the Union.
We really don’t need the USA...the USA needs us!
If the Supreme court does not take the Texas case President Trump should take Michael Flynns advice and declare Martial law,enforce his National Emergency executive orders from 2 years ago and go after all the big tech companies,take all of zuckerbergs company and all the leftists property for dealing with Foreign governments in this election,just go nuclear,it’s the only way if the courts,politicians are not obeying the Constitution.
I say we kick the ever lovin’ stew out of them like they did to the South when they tried to secede.
I think the implied message by the Texas lawsuit is VERY CLEAR:
If states can ignore the direct words of the US Constitution at will, Texas (and other states) can then ignore whatever crap they want coming out of DC.
Technically not succession...but it is hard to see any other future outcome.
Without Federal money, California crumbles into the sea.
I actually don’t think CA is that far gone. I think they can pull of a recall. Even the big lefties are done out there. They are great big customers of Dominion (I don’t think the name of their company was random).
If they do have a recall election, they will have to change the way they vote.
Which raises a more interesting question: Is GA going to CONTINUE USING DOMINION SYSTEMS FOR THE SENATE RUNOFF ELECTION?
How does that work?
We just do like the leftist set up permanent autonomous zone
What about being anti-white, anti-West and anti-Christian? In addition to those listed above it celebrates the likes of Al Sharpton, Warnock, Rev Wright and many others.
Then counties should be allowed to succeed from the succeeding states. The big blue cities will be desperate for food. Maybe they can get it from China. /s
An open adult discussion on secession is WAY OVERDUE.
I’m for cutting the blue states loose. Separation would be complicated at least.
>><<
Red States can begin by cutting off food and fuel
to the Blue States.
What a stupid comment. The USA cannot survive as one leftist empire. We need sane adults to discuss how to break up the USA peacefully through state secession.
I hope it is your kin that die in a needless war when a peaceful separation is possible.
There is absolutely no reason to be bellicose about this. I think that is the only thing we all agree on; a divorcee is necessary.
What are we going to do to be rid of BLUE COUNTIES? TN HAS 4. CRIME RIDDLE/CROOKS GALORE. BAD EDUCATION, UNIONS, COMMISHNORS.
