Resistance to secession is the mask-off moment for "democracy".
Talk to a progressive about secession. In explaining why they oppose it, they are forced to lay all their totalitarian cards on the table.
By the end of the conversation it will be hard for them to argue against the case that the minority (or the majority, in the case of the Indiana elections!!) is being held hostage and milked of their resources "for the greater good".
"Am I free to leave?" Is the question you ask a police officer or hostage-holding bank robber to determine if you are being detained or not. If you're not free to leave your county, state, or country, it's not a democracy, it's a hostage situation.
