A lot of people want separation from their government, and not just in the U.S. From T.L. Davis at tldavis.substack.com:

Branching off of my previous post Becoming Hostiles, there’s a part of this whole show that is just plain wrong. Communists and communism has been growing for decades in the US. It’s now infused into every bureaucracy, every state assembly, every town hall. Most of the people who practice it are not aware that it is communism, that’s how ingrained it is in our current system.
There’s an extraordinary amount of judges and lawyers who don’t know the Constitution, haven’t read it, were never taught it in law school. It’s irrelevant to them, because that’s not how our country works anymore. It’s run by regulations, stare decisis, state power versus federal power, labor union rules, etc., it’s how they were able to accomplish the lockdowns with no one really raising the most obvious constitutional questions.
The “rules” came from the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and because it was a federal agency, the states folded, not because they couldn’t win, but because they refused to try. They wanted the power it gave them. I wish it weren’t that crude, that demented, but it is. They were sheltered by the idea that to oppose it was to cast them in the light of anti-science, anti-health and charge them with a failure to protect their citizens. They used these arguments to signal their willingness to impose the most cruel punishments on conscientious objectors. When it was revealed as a psyop and a method of grooming and attempt to steer the population toward compliance with retarded things like masks and distancing, they demonstrated to the world the stupidity of their citizens. They laughed at how gullible they had been and knew they were finally ready to accept a full-throated communism. They had been conquered.
Demoralized is what Yuri Bezmenov called it and it doesn’t take that long.
Our own useful idiots will hoist the hammer and sickle.
But don’t get demoralized as please face wall now comrade awaits all quislings.
