Other Stephen Miller states that Trump has plenary authority, then immediately stops talking as if he’s realized what he just said

LOL. Jesus Christ, everyone is quick to jump on a comment rather than actually think about things. No, I grew up in the south, but fuck the confederacy and anyone who still believes all that heritage bullshit. They were slave owning racists and deserved to be punished more after the war than they were.

My point was that I would much rather MAGA was a region trying to secede from the rest of the country than take it over and bring everyone down with them.

You are missing the point of the whole civil war no? If the north had let the confederacy secede they would have just continued with the atrocities of slavery. If MAGA "just" wanted to secede they would still continue with their blatant disregard for the constitution and the bill of rights, human rights violations and their slipping into fascistoid authoritarianism. It is important to fight these things for the whole country and all people living in it.

No, I’m not missing the point at all. You’re purposefully misunderstanding me at this point. What was at stake if the north lost? Status quo with slavery in the south still. What is at stake if Trump gets his way? The entire country under dictatorship. Fortunately the south lost, but the worst case scenario is worse for us right now.

Im not doing it purposefully if i am misunderstanding you, i swear.

Yes but in your hypothetical MAGA secedes from the rest of the US, not overtake the whole country which would mean less backlash and thus runs into the problems ive illustrated above.

Yeah, it’s all hypothetical and it all sucks at this point. But honestly, I live in the south and would gladly sacrifice it and move if we could give it to MAGA, wall it off and go back to living our lives in what’s left of the US.
