"We should avoid war when legal alternatives still exist, such as Article V."Article V can solve nothing now, with the DC government in the hands of communists -- particularly if they construct "underground election apparati" where needed to control elections and remain in power.
"You can't even trust that the US military will be on your side or that they won't shoot Americans"They WON'T be "on our side". Why do you think the military is being transformed and "woke-un" the way it's going now?
They WILL shoot "Americans". At least the white ones.
That's why with the New Continental Congress, there must be raised a new Continental Army as well.
Sled Dog, there are four choices in your future:
1. A peaceful "separation of the states" (which will involve re-drawing some state lines);
2. A separation of the states as above, but one that will be achieved through "non-peaceful" means;
3. A separation of the states, after which the traditional-freedom states seek to defeat the new-slavery/communist states, and force them back into the Union, a la Reconstruction II;
or finally...
4. Submission to the newly communist DC government.
Choices 1 and 4 are "peaceful".
Choices 2 and 3 will not be.
