As am I. It's a fact that modern talk of secession has been, up to now, essentially idle speculation. Neither the Democratic nor the Republican parties are about to push for it in any meaningful way. While there has been a recent "secession" movement in Colorado, it's a push to split Colorado into two states, not to secede from the Union.

And in any case, the Colorado movement is going nowhere, just as talk of Texas leaving the Union is just that...talk.

What you’re asking is like asking the question — “Can you give me PROOF of who is going to win the Presidential election?” This is a political question in which how every person votes and then acts - is what counts. There are no facts for that and it changes from day to day. You can do polls and surveys, but the final word always comes on Election Day.

Furthermore, if there was enough political support to begin to act on it - there’s not a very good likelihood of it succeeding because of the forces against doing such a thing. And these would be wide-ranging from all over, in other parts of the country.

SO ... there are no facts which absolutely guarantee how each human being is going to react to this until it comes down to a vote or some requested action on their part.
