I've had megalomaniac statists figured out for years.

Democracy is nothing more than mob rule. Running from gang to gang til you have the highest authority in the hierarchy is the game of the statist.

In America, it's seriously small-mob rule since voter turnout is always insanely low.
It's sad that any election is dominated by small percentage of the public

Why do all these states want to secede from the Union?


Because the union boss appears to be a jackass?

What's hilarious is that your links are from 2012.

No states seceded.

Sore loser Pubs whimpered and whined for 4 years. Just like they did the preceeding four years.

But no states seceded.

Did they?

Carry on.

Honestly, I think it's just not working out overall. Rural conservatives and coastal liberals are just of completely different mindsets, ideals and cultures. If they're forced to stay together, it's always just going to be a tug of war rather than either side getting what they want - with a ton of tension in the process.

I'd say it's best to move towards being at least 2 separate but friendly nations.
