Ms. Susan Del Percio (Lincoln Project) wrote a commentary at NBC News that is worth reading if for no other reason to see how the other side thinks.

So what the heck has gotten into the Texas GOP? In the span of one week, the attorney general filed a seditious lawsuit with the Supreme Court and state GOP leaders are announcing they think it’s time Texas secedes from the nation.

Power — trying desperately to attain it or to hold on to it — often motivates morally and politically bizarre behavior. So does the fear of potentially going to jail. It seems even partisan PR stunts are bigger in the Lone Star State.

Last month, reports indicated that the FBI is investigating allegations that Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton broke the law by using his office to serve the interests of a political donor. This would be a federal crime — a crime that President Donald Trump could pre-emptively pardon Paxton for, even though the attorney general hasn’t officially been charged with anything.

Let’s stop for a moment.  Ms. Del Percio, like many others, thinks that this is all about Trump, and I’ve heard that account about the desire for a pardon.

To most people who want honest and fair election, Trump is an irrelevant feature of this debacle.  As for the author of the lawsuit, it wouldn’t matter if it was Donald Duck.  But let’s continue.

Against the backdrop of these problems, Paxton filed a lawsuit last week asking the Supreme Court to overturn the election results in the four key battleground states of Georgia, Michigan, Pennsylvania and Wisconsin. If these results were to be reversed, it would also reverse President-elect Joe Biden’s clear presidential win.

Clear, she says.  Let’s ignore what we all know to be true, the mountain of evidence that shows that the election was stolen, a fraud, a sham, and a hoax.  Let’s ignore the ongoing corruption in Michigan, Georgia, and elsewhere.  Let’s ignore the forensic report on the Dominion voting system results.  Biden won, and it’s clear, because the legacy media says so.

And Paxton isn’t the only Texan willing to sink to new political lows. Recently, Republican state Rep. Kyle Biedermann announced that he will introduce legislation to allow Texas to secede from the nation. His reason? “The federal government is out of control and does not represent the values of Texans.”

There is no chance that Texas will secede from the United States. Just as with Paxton’s Supreme Court ploy, the law is not on Texas’ side. Secession is simply not legal, and Biedermann should know that.

There is “no chance,” says she.  Well, I’d respond that there would be an old fashioned fight, to be sure.  The balance of Texas would have to throw-down with Dallas-Forth Worth, Austin and Houston.  But I would never say there is “no chance.”

Furthermore, the fact that someone says that it’s not legal is irrelevant, given that it will happen if a state (or compact of states) is willing to back it up with force.

Apparently wanting to hop on the secession bandwagon is Texas GOP Chairman Allen West, who suggested that “law-abiding states” should “form a Union” after the Supreme Court rejected the Texas election lawsuit.

Secession might have been an option a quarter of a century ago, but I’m less than sanguine about its possibility today.  The influx of Northerners to the South (bringing the same politics that fouled their Northern nests to the South with them) and the influx of Californians to Texas has made a peaceable solution (divorce) much less likely than a more bloody one.  Geographic boundaries are no longer conducive to such an outcome and wouldn’t support it.

But you get the main picture here.  Joe Biden won, it’s clear, everyone who wants to pursue legal avenues of appeal are engaging in sedition, and whether you want it or not, you’re going to get it good and hard when we’re in power, which is why you can’t leave home.  All your assets belong to us.

Folks, this is how the other side thinks.  This is why America is careening headlong into civil war.  She probably lives in Manhattan, and yet she isn’t worried about the ailing New York water supply system, in need to a complete rebuild, and nearing total collapse.  She isn’t worried about the fact that all of her food comes from the flyover country she so despises, and is transported into New York on vulnerable highways.

She isn’t worried about the fact that her political solutions destroy the GOP and forever leave the communists in charge (or maybe that’s her intent).  I would be investigating those sorts of vulnerabilities, as well as the vulnerability of the electrical power grid, right after I found a U-Haul and got out of Manhattan.

She wants to spend her time telling you that you are seditious, that she is smarter than you, and that you should just shut up and listen to her.  And oh, by the way, you don’t get out of this prison – that’s simply not legal.

Again, this commentary is good for understanding the gulf between you and the controllers.  You don’t think alike, you don’t see things the same way, there is no overlap or intersection of sets of what’s important to you and her, and you literally live in two different worlds.
