Poke the the U.S.A. with a fork, we're done!

Your OP brings to mind a favorite quote:

That would be a lot of fertilizer, but we might be able to feed a liberty tree forest with that much. I want to have hope that Trump is draining enough swamp to make a difference, but unless that pendulum swings really hard to the right, it won't last.

Resistance is all we have left if speech is dead and voting is rigged. Tell them we won't play their game, and they can take their ball and go home. Other than rejecting the entire system and offering only passive resistance when they come to arrest you, violence will be the final act of desperation.

We might stand a chance if we can take over a few states and build a robust economy to keep the federal money out of the area. If we were strong enough to maintain control over a few states, that power would render secession unnecessary.
