      Literally the civil war started because kansas didn’t want to be a slave state. The whole state’s right thing is just a talking point not a held belief.

        Are you saying the next civil war will be fought over abortion and LGBTQ rights?

          I think it’s more likely blue states secede than civil war. If enough liberal folks got on board, the conservatives would bit at the chance to be the new USA with a majority of the states.

          I also think the impetus won’t be social, it will be economic.

            Cecession will literally start a new civil war. I’m looking forward to killing some traitors.

          I’m just saying the whole “state’s rights” things is sort of a red herring. The right believes they don’t have to follow the rules; “crimes are when undesireables do things only I should be allowed to do”
