Rush Limbaugh, noting conservatives have very little in common with people in certain states, is raising the issue of secession.
Limbaugh made his comments on his radio show on Wednesday.
“I actually think that we’re trending toward secession,” he said. “I see more and more people asking what in the world do we have in common with the people who live in, say, New York? What is there that makes us believe that there is enough of us there to even have a chance at winning New York, especially if you’re talking about votes.

GOPUSA Editor: Rush is still discussing this on today’s program and saying his first preference is to win elections. He’s asking what are you going to do if the Supreme Court doesn’t come through and if Trump doesn’t pull this out? What are you, as an individual going to do?
It looks like a Texas Rep. is taking action.
Representative to file bill to allow Texas to secede from United States
State Rep. Kyle Biedermann, R-Fredericksburg, told his supporters on Facebook that he plans to file a bill allowing for a referendum on secession.
“The federal government is out of control and does not represent the values of Texans,” Biedermann wrote in a Facebook post. “That is why I am committing to file legislation this session that will allow a referendum to give Texans a vote for the State of Texas to reassert its status as an independent nation.”

Would secession be your first solution to the situation we find ourselves in today?
There will either be secession, a revolution or a civil war. The powers that be, at the state level and in Washington, have betrayed those of us that believe in the Constitution.
At this point perhaps not a revolution but another War Of Independence.
“If you like your corrupt government you can keep your corrupt government.”
And like with founding of the State Of Israel, the Democratic Socialist States of America would immediately declare the new republic “invalid” and will attack from all sides.
That will be fun to watch……………….
Secession can happen at the county level as well as the state level. Before blue states could do anything about their neighbors, they’d first have to deal with rescuing their own cities, where the Leftists are concentrated, from their own disenfranchised conservative citizens. When Detroit, Chicago, etc. are surrounded by angry mobs with pitchforks who are “mad as hell, and…not going to take it any more,” they can’t exactly send their National Guards to Iowa, Missouri, Kentucky, Indiana, Ohio, et. al.
I would hate to see the bloodshed, but I would love to see the decisive repudiation of collectivism by what was always intended to be a nation of individuals.
The U.S. Republicans and independent population own 75% of the guns and ammo in the U.S., criminals own 20% and anti gun Democrats own 10%.
We shall see…..
Harling. I’d LOVE TO SEE every state, where liberals are OUTNUMBERED BY THE rural states, get literally Blockaded, like old school Sieges, to where NO FOOD/Water/Power ever, got into those blue cities, and SEE HOW LONG IT Takes for those cities to crumble into dust.
To the deep state bureaucratic class, the Constitution is an annoying relic to be thrown in the trash. This is especially true for the Bill of Rights.
THERE NEEDS to be one of the above.. IMO< that is the ONLY WAY TO regain power over our own lives.
I am not in favor of succession. The liberals, their chinese masters, would not stop until they subverted our country. American is our home. If it takes fighting, and dying for America, count me in.
I’m a combat disabled Vietnam Veteran i can’t run anymore and i will stand my ground and fight. I was born free and i will die on my feet as an old warrior not on my knee’s as a slave. GOD bless America.
IT does seem shanked up, IF we did ‘seceed’, we’d effectivly be GIVING THE COMMIES LAND IN the us!
That’s it rpvak! I’ll stand with you boone2. Not one square inch can be surrendered. I’m just an ole Calvary Man. I don’t give up ground, I take ground. If the north had’ve been full of the pip-squeaks running around today, the south would’ve already been a country of our own.
As ive often remarked Bob. IF WE had this current generation, of folk to have had to rely on, in WW2, i fear we’d all be speaking german or japanese by now.
The country is pretty much divided philosophically, I for one can’t accept the ultra liberal way of thinking, nor can they abide mine.
The only recourse I see without violence is secession. The sooner the better!!
IF not secession, it should be ‘trending’ towards getting the insurrection act invoked!
Rush Limbaugh never said anything about secession on his program yesterday – please review today’s program where he discounts that
Did you watch the video 54905webb? It’s from yesterday’s show.
I’ve been listening to Rush most of the morning. I might have missed a few words here and there but he has been explaining his comments on secession. It’s not his preference. He thinks there are other ways but it will be tough going.
Now he’s been talking about what Trump is going to do if he loses the presidency. He’s wondering if Trump could lead a party revolt from the outside. He likens it to the Tea Party and wonders if all those conservatives would join in an organized effort to take back the GOP. He stresses that would be easier than starting from scratch.
Very interesting conversation. Trump will still be a huge force to reckon with if he wants to be.
Also, one thing to know about Rush, he doesn’t say anything lightly. He set up this conversation on how to go forward from here and I would bet Trump is listening.
HE damn well is MORE OF A force to be reckoned with than the ENTIRE FECKLESS GOP Is.
Perhaps the great experiment has ended, and the great political schism is about to begin. Far better than being under the heel of another doomed Socialist experiment.
Well, that’s clearly where we are headed: under the heel of another Socialist Paradise.
There is nothing experimental after almost 200 years of observations, unless it is the manner of arriving there.
Freemen are indeed doomed but with no “policeman of the world” standing in the way, who’s going to doom Socialism?
As long as there is evil in the world rebellion against reality and socialism will exist in some form. There simply are not enough bullets to eradicate it.
SO, cause “ITS inevitable, why bother resisting”?
Try me daddy
Well I am in favor of leaving! And I hope Texas does have a referendum…AND i think we should pull in Oklahoma, Arkansas and Louisiana…which would be have one of the Largest Economies in the world and any other red state that wants to leave. So Funny at Thanksgiving all my Family talked about leaving and all were in Favor…not one negative in the Group….
Plenty of people in Eastern Washington State, Oregon (outside of the Portland area) and northern CA are talking of joining with Idaho.
Just as long as once we DO SECEED, every state PUTS UP THEIR OWN BORDER WALL with all those commucrat states.. TO STOP THEM SPREADING THEIR VIRUS OF liberalism, into our states!
I live in Arkansas. Count me in.
Georgia too, with of course the exception of Atlanta/Fulton Co.
Ohio checking in…
I say give them the east coast (California, Washington, Utah, Nevada) and throw in Illinois and New York and let them waller around and sing and prance and be merry. It will last all but 5 -10 years and they will be broke and in ruins. At that point, we bring them back in the fold and get our country back on track.
They can call their country ‘North Venezuela’
What would you do, with the almost half a million US TROOPS Stationed in those states, from San diego, to Bremmerton/everet?? Where would all those naval bases go?
Give them nothing! If you have ants or termites in your home, do you move out? Those who seek to undermine America must be rooted out and punished or given walking papers. Giving them the east coast (California, Washington, Utah, Nevada)? Really? Surrender isn’t the answer.
Exactly. WE NEED to exterminate this threat, from within. NOT GIVE THEM Territory!
California, Oregon. Washington State, New York State and Massachusetts. That ought to be enough room to house most if not all of the liberals. Deport the rest to North Korea.
How’s about we DEPORT ALL of them to North korea. DON”T give them ANY of the states!
OR better yet. LAUNCH them all into space.. ONE WAY TRIP!
The bulk of the State of Illinois is conservative. So throw in Chicago and all its suburbs but allow the rest of Illinois to secede! Else, I will need to be relocating!
I live in Washington. Give them Seattle and Olympia, but the rest of the state is red.
Umm … how did those states migrate to the East Coast?
Divide and Conquer mean anything?
We are in this together, all of us. We have to stop the take over by the few and reject the Vote and call for a redo in every State.
Revote and Then and only then can the right person be the PRESIDENT. then watch the HEADS roll.
#doover. Let’s just do it all over again and see who the real winner is. This time have the National Guard as poll watchers instead of democrats.
AND ANYONE caught, trying to fudge the #s, put in unmarked fake ballots, or shred or otherwise delete TRUE ballots, should be taken right out side, and SHOT ON THE PREMISES!
Secession is exactly what the globalists want. It would be their pretext to invite foreign military [UN, NATO, China] to provide security. Chinese troops are already positioned in Canada and Mexico.
There was a secession movement in California after Trump got elected…. not a peep from them now.
Not so fast. Secession means we concede the battle of ideas. I’ll never believe that at its essence liberty, the free market and small government would ever fail an honest hearing in a majority of minds. Secession also means we’ve bought into the notion that there are more leftists and pinko progressives in New York, California, Virginia, Colorado etal than there are conservatives and moderates in those states. I think not. What happened in those Red States over the last 20 years is what happened in Fulton County, Wayne County and Philadelphia this year. Leftist and pinko progressive operatives had control of local election boards and were ready to commit any felony necessary to take back power. If we want to see 2010 again in 2022 we will need more than votes. We will need squads of organized, trained and authorized poll watchers eye balling every precinct and tabulation center in every state with platoons of first responding lawyers on call and ready to swarm to the ball whenever and wherever any shenanigans happen. Now if we lose an election like that then you bet…we concede and secede.
Chickobla, the problem is we are not going to have an “honest hearing in the majority of minds” because the mainstream media and the digital tyrants along with the corrupted education system will never let that happen. Communist societies cannot allow free thinking as it is antithetic to socialist control of the population. What is going on right now is proof of that.
SEEING HOW la, San fran and Sacremento, ALONE MASS MORE than the entire rest of CA< how the hell can you think "THE DEMS DON'T outnumber us in that state"…
If texas votes for secession, I will move to Texas!
Think that would suit me as well! I really liked living in Texas! Love them cowboy boots!
I’ve been wondering about this for quite a while. It’s pretty clear that we have irreconcilable differences with the progressive socialists. There is no way to compromise at this point and we sure as hell are not going to get along. The far left radicals are out of the closet and they are operating with immunity from the democrat mainstream with their Marxist ideology and rioting, property destruction and physically aggressive behavior. We (constitutional conservatives) have pretty much had all we are going to take and it won’t be long before organized aggressive resistance from our side is going to be a reality.
So what can happen? It seems that massive riots and conflict are inevitable in a kind of winner take all conflict. If that is the future than would it not be better to divide the country into two political spheres? It wouldn’t have to be a complete secession with regard to mutual defense arrangements and various treaties that benefited both sides such as free trade and transportation between the two. When you think about it is similar to the situation faced by the founders when they established the idea of “statehood” due to the vast differences between the economic interests of the different areas of the country.
BUT if you just “Divide the nation” like that, HOW CAN YOU EVER stop the left, from trying to force their way into OUR “States”, to take them over???
Especially when so many “RED” states, already are rotting from the inside out, WITH SO MANY LIBERALS WHo’ve already infiltrated us!
Where were you 150 years ago Speedle.
Unfortunately the concept of limited separation and shared mutual defense will not work. Take a read of the Federalist Papers. There are a number of dissertations on the subject of mutual defense, mutual treaties, etc. related to a confederation of states.
Only a clean separation will be effective.
That or the alternative is war! Ready for either! A fraudulent election to usher in a Socialist/Communist regime will not do!
The great State of Texas made that a condition to join the union of states. They can secede legally and there isn’t a damn thing the Federal gov. can do about it!
I prefer the idea of sanctuary constitutional states where the rule of Constitutional law is followed along with the Bill-Of-Rights. Wokeness, PC police and radical left agenda is not welcomed nor tolerated by the public or governmental institutions. Elected officials who do not support this within theses states are Out!
AND ANYONE who moves there, and BRINGS their liberalism with them, GETS BOOTED OUT, after having any property they bought, SEIZED!
Secession implies leaving. If anything this is our country, if anyone is to leave it is the communists.
And if they need a little help with that, I’m sure there are many who would be more than willing.
Succession has come to my mind too until I think seriously about the details.
1) who is going to hold the Social Security Trust Fund? Yes, I know it is shrinking but it is actually healthy on paper as an asset loaned to the Federal Government. How do you deal with that?
2) Who is going to own the Public lands of the United States of which California is 43% comprised, most located along the coast all the way up to Canada?
3) How do we deal with a state like NY, where rural and Upstate NY is very conservative? Leave behind the big cities like separated islands of mystery. Or better example Nebraska with Omaha, the big liberal university core of the state’s voting power.
The first step I would take is a mass financial boycott of everything liberal and especially the sponsors of the liberal press on TV. Sports, both pro and college, and Autos especially. We have to disable the liberal press #1 before we consider anything else and this would be relatively easy and bloodless.
Add to that, since MOST OF OUR TRADE, comes in via most of those coastal ports. IF WE seed them the coastal cities, WHERE THEN would our trade come in from?
If Texas goes, so must every one of those 74-75 million “LIVE” voters. I’m just a bit concerned about how to round us all up in the same Texas area? Maybe just split up into the states that are MOST Red then have those states join with Texas in secession!
Let all the people who voted for biden go live in California and New York. Any state that wishes to join the newly founded country must agree to abide by the constitution as written and it cannot be seen as a living breathing document. The only way to change or add anything is by a constitutional amendment. Courts/judges will not have any power to interpret the constitution. Same with making or striking down laws. Courts will have ZERO power to change or strike down laws. All they can do is send said laws. They will only have the power to enforce the law. No more legislating from the bench. Any person moving from the old country of blue states will not be allowed to vote. Sorry, but I live in Texas and have seen a plethora of foolish people fleeing California because of the democrat polices that ruined California, only to come to Texas and vote the same way that led to the destruction of the state they are fleeing from. So no, you give up your voting rights as you have shown that you lack critical thinking skills and have no ability to give up your political bias in lieu of commons sense and logic.
AND every judge, who LEGISLATES from the bench, rather than ADHERES to their oath to uphold the constitution, gets PUBLICLY FLOGGED, after being drug from the bench in chains. THEN Exiled.
If each red state made it part of their constitution that the constitution of the US, as it was written, is the only rule of the land, they could just ignore federal law which runs contrary to our nations great Constitution. This means that judicial interpretation would not be allowed on constitutional matters. Remember that when states joined the union, they ratified the constitution as it was written at the time they joined.
Been coming for a while. Real Americans are watching as the communist Democrats are in bed with the Chinese Communist party and they are attempting to steal an election. Oh, and so are the RINO’s and deep state. We are heart broken. We have zero faith in our government outside of President Trump. The only person in our government who has had the balls to stand up for everyday Americans is being attacked and vilified. The main stream media and social media is complicit and is also funded by the chinese. These people who are against President Trump have the same values as the CCP. Those values are completely contrary to what patriots in America believe.
Son’s of the Republic, look and learn. The 3rd great peril is upon us.
I’ve been hearing secession from states for years now. Everyone from California and the entire left coast to Texas. As far as the conservative side goes with states such as Texas, I have a question. If you do vote to secede are you going to deport 90% of the ppl from your major cities? You know, Dallas-Ft. Worth, Austin, San Antonio, Houston. That is where the problem is in this country. It’s not the states, it the CITIES! The rest of us are being ruled by the likes of Chicago, NYC, LA, Seattle, Atlanta, D.C., etc. Till something is done about this way of governing the rest of us who don’t live in those places are in trouble.
IF they do seceed. THEY DAMN WELL BETTER deport all those libtards.. Right after seizing all their assets!
Don’t really need to deport the people in the cities, just set up state wide elections in the same manner that the electoral college was established for presidential elections. Balance the over populated cities with a geographical-based voting system.
THAT won’t get RID of the marxists, anarchists and socialists though. WE NEED TO Expunge them from our nation, if we are to survive.
The attorneys general of the many states (about 20) have presented a carefully written lawsuit against the five states who violated their own state constitutions in their haste to commit election fraud on a massive scale.
IF the Supreme Court fails (refuses) to do its required duty to read carefully and obey the federal Constitution, then anarchy will reign for many days to come.
The anti-American leftists (communists) would be highly insensed if their evil plan to steal this year’s presidential election is thus frustrated. They will scream and cry and threaten and burn and riot and otherwise prove, once again, their very low level of maturity and total lack of morals. This, America can endure but silence from the Supreme Court or an adverse decision would certainly result in even more violence; perhaps including another civil war. (Exercise your Second Amendment rights or they will disappear.)
Pray that the Lord of the Universe brings peace yet again to settle the current hostilities.
God bless America…while she still exists.
America has lost all hope save an act of God.
Pray for His mercy in this tragic time. Pray often. Pray hard. Beg for His help.
I agree elderal and if the Supreme Court refuses to take action, which it seems on a course to do, Conservative America has to rise from it’s slumber and take action. Biden and the Dems are on a mission to destroy this country. While the left screams and destroys, the right seems to sit complacently by and watch.
I wonder, how soon after biden/harris get sworn in, THAT THEY WILL Declare all mililtias that are “pro-conservative/pro constitution, to be TErrorist orgs, and will be sending the FBI Gestapo, to shut them all down.
