Sedition is a lot more serious than a 'wong'.
Why lump an entire party into defending one really bad guy's crimes?
The entire Republican Party wasn't seditious. The only ones who need imprisonment are the offenders.

Claiming an entire party should be in prison is a wong on your part.

Most of the movement so far has been among Hispanic Protestants, who don’t represent a majority of Hispanics, but certainly are a factor in South Florida, in particular.

I'm flummoxed -- and quite dismayed -- by the ongoing advocacy for civil war and dividing the country. I guess patriotism and love of country are nothing more than hollow sentiment for some folks.

LOL. I’m surprised you’re surprised.

The type of politicians you support are primarily responsible for this, btw. The ones who hate our country and view it as deeply flawed and in need of major transformation. The ones who want to encourage our children to explore gender and possibly transitioning at a young age and will excitedly help our children get access to puberty blockers without parental knowledge. The ones who encourage division along racial lines and advocate for reparations, even though those of us here today had nothing to do with slavery (which yes, was a dark time in our country). The ones who hate any type of wealth or achievement and favor collectivism over individualism. The ones who want to invade our everyday lives and ban things like gas stoves, because they believe that gas appliances are a major source of “climate change.” The ones who are taking away the ability for me to buy the kind of car I want to buy after 2030-2035.

And they think the rest of us should just sit down, shut up, and accept it.

So yeah, I’d say at this point we’re pretty incompatible.

While I don’t advocate for civil war, I’m more open minded toward the country splitting than I had been in the past.

Excellent post - wish I could rep you again.

America is very sick....and most who are spreading the disease are lost and incurable. Splitting may indeed be the sole path to the maintenance of freedom.

No Constitution was or ever will be written than can address the mass suicide that surrounds us today. We just have to put some distance between it and us.

Most comes from 1 party. Our country is racists and our police are ought there killing black people for fun. The list is long and now some in the same party are surprised?

Democrats have divided the country so bad there is only one way out.

Wrong again. The extremist wings of both parties are incompatible. The center in both parties pretty much want the same thing. So which end of the conservative party do those who advocate for dissolution and/or civil war fall under?

No, I’m correct. You might see the items I listed as examples of leftist extremism, but every single thing I mentioned is actually happening today and enabled by the politicians and party that you happily support.

So I see it this way: maybe the center can agree on things, but the “center” isn’t doing a damn thing. I don’t want to live in a leftist utopia, so I’m more open minded toward dissolution as a solution.
