The Union is what made our country.

It was the Union that Washington was concerned about when he worked with Madison on the ideas behind the Constitution. It was the Union that made Lincoln fight so hard during his presidency.

The Union makes us unique among nations. Secession is a bad idea.

Secession is a bad idea.

Maybe a bad idea. But is it legal?

So, you’ll have no problem getting on a knee for what is coming?

“The Union is what made our country.”

And a 19th century ideology is destroying it.

The union harkens back to a time when this country existed as a nation, with common goals and objectives. None of that exists now.

Secession can’t be any more of a bad idea than what we have now: Blatantly stolen elections and libtard tyranny.

You make it sound like there was a Union when Washington was fighting. There wasn’t. In fact, they ended up with a confederacy of independent nations for 9 years until the secret convention where it was proposed to have a federal system, a Union if you will.

Then the only thing left is a full on cw and whoever wins gets control of the place.

Its untenable as it is.

You will be singing a diferent tune very shortly under these socialist libtards. Blacks are going to go nuts and start wiping out white people in eanest because its payback and all whites are inherently racist, baby, for whatever perceived grievances the gimmeshiite crowdfolk have at the moment.

You kmow the libs are gonna let them because blm antifa were test runs. They want it to happen because a lot of their political enemies will be targeted and murdered, and their hands will be “clean” from the dirty work.

“It was the Union that made Lincoln fight so hard during his presidency.”

I’ve been revisiting all this while playing teacher for my homeschooled Jr High student. It’s odd reading words from Lincoln’s inaugural address preaching platitudes that could have been interchangeable with arguments the British Crown might have made against The Declaration of Independence.

Allegedly Lincoln served in a militia during the Revolution. Seems he’d have better suited in a Red Coat.

I agree. The Balkans has been referred to as the ‘’anus mundi’’(ass of the world’’). Secession would Balkanize America and we’d become a tribal mess.
