As a student of history, what I do know is that all wars are both political and physical. You can't have one without the other, or else there is certain defeat.

For you to think that you can only have a physical war and still win is gullible....

States seceding would be a good start.

It is the start and I’m sure it’s coming

That would be great, but likely won't happen. What can happen, is for certain states to ignore the fed. What could the fed possibly do then? Withhold funds. That's it. If we all move to a conservative state and make it great, we wouldn't need their money, but they would sure need ours. And wouldn't be getting it. Succession by ignoring fed overstep . . .

It's not so clean and easy though... Either they tax us without representing us... Or they start sending on feds to arrest people who don't pay their federal taxes... And the states have to either def me their citizens or allow the fed to snatch people up.

Another potential problem I foresee, traveling into democrat states and having both federal and local police target you for having"traitorous" state plates.

I don't really see a live and let live scenario. The left will persecute and destroy anyone they can

And all politics always have the threat of war behind it.

Military action is Diplomacy through Force.

Can't tell if sarcasm or agreement. Assuming sarcasm cuz the "....". If it's agreement, ignore the rest of my comment.

War: Diplomacy fails. Use Military to enforce your political will on someone else. War: Diplomacy is not an option or too slow to achieve objectives. Use Military.

Fully agree with your original assessment and not sure why you'd disagree with my post.

It's sorta like saying, a gun is a nice way to ask somebody to do something.
