(8,821 posts)They want to severely weaken if not destroy our Federal government. Many of them also openly call for rebellion and secession from the National Union. If that is not a traitorous plan of action, just what the hell would be?

(32,723 posts)Look how Republicans act when they eek out 50.0001% of the vote and act like they can now to a total crackdown on the 49.9999% that voted against them.
Meanwhile Democrats can win with 75% and act like they need to ask the Republicans permission to take a crap.

(28,498 posts)150 years ago this nation was embroiled in a civil war. As I understand it, the South wanted to succeed, claiming "states' rights." And slavery was to be maintained.
However, at that time we had an essentially power white over-class and an underclass of black slaves essentially uneducated and lacking power of any kind.
If these TeaPublicans are really serious about reviving this same mindset, how far could they go before an educated and more powerful "underclass" can stop them?
It seems to me they haven't taken into consideration fully that they'll be taking on a part of Southern society that will no longer act as a "whipping boy," but that now have fought for and secured (to a degree) both political and economic power.
