In this insightful interview, Marcus Ruiz Evans of CALEXIT engages with Professor Ryan Griffiths from Syracuse University on the topic of secession in America. They delve into Griffiths’ article “Sometimes Secession Works: Why It Won’t Work for the US” and his forthcoming book “American Secession: The Folly of a Red State-Blue State Divorce.” Griffiths outlines the complexities and potential violence associated with a national breakup, arguing that secession is not a viable solution to the country’s political polarization. Instead, he advocates for finding common ground and working through differences within the existing political framework. The discussion highlights the importance of understanding the intricate and perilous nature of secession, emphasizing the need for continued dialogue and cooperation among Americans.
