Prediction: Obmso will try to remove Sheriffs and replace them with a “civilian” (my a$$) police force. Two birds with one stone for him. Question that determines fitness for position: “will you fire on citzens that will not relinquish their guns?” If “yes”; welcome to the team. If “no”, place on IRS audit list and “do not hire for federal placement”, and recommend for NSA monitoring.
The difference between the collectivist Left and those who value Liberty is very simple to see.
Most of us in this forum would say, if a Blue state wanted to secede, let them. However, the Leftists would sic the full force of the military on any state that attempted to secede. They would bring tanks, artillery, and aerial bombing.
The next step is for the states that resist Federal abuse of power to start collecting the Federal income tax and then witholding it if the Fed tries to force its will on that state. If the Fed behaves, then send them their money, elsewise, why finance your oppressor?
If the states can do without Federal money they can pull it off. If not, then not.
