Rural Secession and Political Autonomy

This chapter explores the idea of rural areas, particularly in states like Illinois and Oregon, seeking to secede from urban governance, drawing parallels to historical movements such as West Virginia's secession. It discusses the complexities and challenges of changing state borders, and the political and constitutional barriers that hinder such efforts. Additionally, the conversation emphasizes the importance of grassroots mobilization and public pressure in influencing lawmakers on issues like gun rights and Second Amendment advocacy.
