“We need to keep beating this drum, regardless if we see red-state secession as an end in itself or merely the first step towards a viable white ethnostate. Either outcome would be an improvement to what we have today. MTG is tripling down, and so should we.”
I couldn’t have put it better myself.
I found it kind of odd to see some on the right countersignaling this woman a few days ago over “National Divorce”.
I think it has to do with:
1. The messenger (MTG) is almost universally unpopular on the radical Right, especially among the Groypers.
2. National Divorce seems to be the least popular option for what happens if we win.

It was really weird seeing the types calling for Imperium or monarchy talk about National Divorce being a delusion fantasy or fairy tale. Even though, aside from defacto regional secession, it’s obviously the most realistic.
“Do you really think they’re just going to let us leave?”
Is like asking:
“Uh, do you really think they’re just going to let us take power?”
If this is the attitude then why do anything? Lol just give up.
That’s essentially the question being asked. National Divorce, like reconquest/secession/imperium etc. is simply a strategy for gaining power.
Whenever any mainstream voice signal boosts these ideas, it’s a good thing. Even if you don’t like the messenger.
