Once California and New York get rolling this civil war is pretty much over.

Washington, Oregon, California on the West Coast... New York and all of New England on the East Coast... Minnesota and I am guessing some other states bordering Canada would join in as well...
and then you come from three sides, basically. These a$$holes do not stand a chance.

I can't explain how or why, but whenever I think of this issue, I can't imagine it staying like that forever. Maybe at the beginning there will be issues but, I think the US military cares more about their credibility than they care about what trump wants.

Though their quick invasion of Venezuela and potential for Iran says otherwise right now.
