    It seems clear enough that if the American experiment ever failed then the people have every right to take whatever actions necessary to defend Liberty now as they did then.

    I hope violence doesn't break out, but we're already seeing the signs of increased violence and social unrest. The Biden Administration is further dividing us and acting as though conservatives are an enemy. That's a bad sign.
    If the Biden administration is "further dividing us" (and I don't disagree), to whom would you attribute the original causation of division?
    Where or when did you begin to believe differing political parties are "enemies" or are supposed to be vs just people who disagree?

    Not sure if I should just humor you or feel sorry for you.

    Why would you feel sorry for me when you're the one living like a coward and an idiot?

    Right, the lines are not geographic, no Atlantic, no Mason-Dixon line.

    The American people must stand up and take the country back from the lurch left of the Democrats that no one wants. They must take it back in the towns and cities and countryside, take it back in school boards, city councils, county bodies, and then from the local level to the states, and the states need to take back power from the federal government.

Their manners and habits differ as much as their climates and productions; and their sentiments are by no means coincident. The laws and customs of the several states are, in many respects, very diverse, and in some opposite; each would be in favor of its own interests and customs, and, of consequence, a legislature, formed of representatives from the respective parts, would not only be too numerous to act with any care or decision, but would be composed of such heterogenous and discordant principles, as would constantly be contending with each other.

    Excellent. How is it possible, that this particular republic, has survived in tact, 234 years?

    It hasn't. Lincoln destroyed it when he invaded and subjugated the southern States.
