It's not the military that makes it impossible.

It's the incredible level of interwoven left/right, progressive/conservative, urban/rural populations in more or less every state.

More people voted for the current president in CA than in more or less any other state. Yet it is viewed as a "blue" state. The millions of Democratic voters in large cities like Houston or Atlanta may not control their state legislatures, but they are not going to sit by as those legislatures attempt to secede. Rural voters across most states are not going to sit by while their urban-controlled legislatures attempt to secede.

We don't have "peripheral" states here, and we don't have "red or blue" states. We have a mostly urban/rural divide that does not follow state boundaries in any sense at all.

People are building bunkers and tax avoidance as protest is becoming popular again. I think all people want is to secede.
