Red states, like my home state of Florida, are too dependent on federal funding to secede. DeSantis continues to renew our state of emergency strictly for the federal funding! And under a state of emergency in Florida, you can be force vaccinated and all the corrupt counties use it as an excuse to issue mask mandates.

A day will come when the bandaid must be pulled off. Allowing the federal government to brainwash your children and subvert your society is not a fair trade off for federal $$$

Dependent on Federal funding.

Bullshit. There is no such thing as federal funding. Every dime of taxes the federal government collects comes from the states, and can be taken with a state that secedes.

The states are only as week as they are because we have allows the federal government to take the lions share of tax revenue from them. Individual states would collectively have exactly as many resources as the national government has, and with no international empire to support they would make better use of those funds.

It's true that some states get more money out than they put in, but the difference is never as large it is made out to be, and the actual benefits to individuals in a state of any given pork project are usually debatable.

I'm with you, but I know in Florida we are too weak. If DeSantis isn't strong enough to stop renewing the state of emergency, he is weak. South Dakota may be the last state with the strength to secede. North Dakota seems to have a based House. But the majority of states are far too weak to secede and when it's only one or two instead of a confederation, the Union can team up and work against the states that secede.
