The second amendment solution on The Left was never a large movement, as the Black panthers were not. Leftists talk about it, but nothing much comes of it. It would be a new situation if it happened. It was the right-wing, of course, that armed itself in 1860, but then they set up their own state and recruited an army, and almost got foreign help. It has been the right wing recently that has formed armed militias. No need for that now until the Left takes over again.
If it ever does. Right now it looks like noway is getting his way, along with Galen, Warren, Copperfield, etc. I have my doubts whether any kind of neo-socialism will ever have much more than a temporary majority in a country that, even with the supposed demographic changes, keeps voting election after election for right-wing Republicans to control everything. Even in late 2009 a neo-socialist/green lite majority was blocked by DINOs in the Senate and we got Obamacare instead of health care reform, and full answers to climate change were blocked, etc.
How much can the Republicans repeal in the same way they repeal Obamacare? How far can they go? Ryan wants to abolish the entire Great Society and New Deal. Do the Democratic Senators, some of them up for re-election in red states, have the cajones to stop him?
The Republican majority in this nation has a neo-liberal vision of this country where the poor get poorer and the rich get richer. Middle class decline has been their goal too, since they took over (apparently permanently) in 1980. White/Color aparteid is in their sights as well. If Anthony is right about the Feds blocking the states from setting up their own neo-socialist or green policies, then secession for the minority of blue states is the only answer if the people there want anything other than a banana republic USA. Civil war may be the price for this, if Trump or his successor Ivanka want to enforce the union.
