Why is Secession always linked to supposed "Right Wing Extremism"?
Ever heard of the Hartford Convention and New England's call for secession in 1812 and 1814? If the USA were to break up, there would likely be liberal states seceding too. Maybe the Kingdom of Hawaii would come back, and there could be a Peoples Republic of California, and a UK commonwealth of New England. New Hampshire is one of the most liberal states that is always talking about secession.
Secession is an American Tradition, not a republican or democrat tradition.

I'd like to understand what the difference is between SECESSION and DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE.
Why is one of these things considered the foundation of America (good), and the other one of these things treated as violent rebel treason (bad)?
I guess history is just written by the winners the way that the winners want it to be.
BTW, cool flag. Let's make a song about the Bonnie Yellow Flag as the new national anthem of the confederacy if it does exist.

But during the Civil War it was linked to the far right democrats & today it's linked to the far right corporate fascists.
