I'm on the right side, what side are you on? I'm on the American side, what side are you on? If you play nice, you loose. If you play fair, you loose. If you play dirty, you loose. If you leave it up to democracy, you loose. If you leave it up to the laws of the land to determine, you loose. If you start a fight with America and start attacking US citizens, you loose. You're in a tough spot. Fight or flight position, as you say. Of the two, flight would be viewed as the easier and less painful option that blues would choose for themselves.
Win one election with a distinct minority, and you start thinking you can impose the past indefinitely?
The electoral college, the Senate giving small rural states out of proportion power, gerrymandering... There were many promises made to originally bring the slave states into the United States. Our constitution reeks of it. The reds exploit it. It won't last forever.
I still would like to see another constitutional convention. I would strip the old slavery compromises out. I would give the People a direct networked veto over the representative Congress with its support for elites. I would enumerate rights, strip off the legislation from the Supreme Court bench, make the powers of Congress enumerated again, make the states sovereign again, and do a little more.
But we are not ready for it yet. We are too disunited right now. It is not yet time.
