How Do we Get Rid Of Malcontents

The latest lunacy from the far right is a top-of-the-voice demand to be allowed to secede from the good ol’ U.S. of A. or, in the alternative, renounce citizenship. Anyone that wants out that badly not only has my blessing but a foot firmly planted on their ass to get ‘em started. It’s just a wild guess, but few of them likely have checked laws of the country they want out of to see how it’s done. Or if the rest of the state can go with ‘em. Or if either can be done. Being a helpful soul, I’ve done their research for them. And they ain’t gonna like it. First, no individual or state can “secede” from this country. They can’t just pick up their marbles – or oil wells – and go anywhere else/Barrett Rainey, Ridenbaugh Press. More here.

Question: Do you know anyone personally who has talked about secession since election?
