Do you earnestly expect that a second American Civil War, within a nuclear power, is the best solution? If so, I'm curious as to your reasoning as to how this is the most humane and effective path forward.

Yes Because if state within an empire cannot treat all of it's citizens equitably, with dignity and respect to their inherent human rights, then the full extent of said empire's military power should be brought down We did it once, we should damn well do it again
If they do not want marines and army infantry on their lawns and stripping the state government of their power, then they should abandon the objectively evil principles that lead to American citizens being forced to live in humiliation and servitude Ball is their side of the court Bitch
That's what worries me, yes, the ball is currently in their side of the court. The Commander in Chief is more likely to send marines to Chicago than Dallas, right now, so I don't know that this is the moment to propose federal tyranny over state sovereignty.
You're being completely disingenuous These are two completely different contexts and you're treating them as the same Do you think Lincoln sending federal troops into the south to free the slaves is the same as Trump deploying the Nat Guard in Chicago? Is that what you really think?
My understanding is that Lincoln sent troops south only after the Confederacy started a war by attacking Fort Sumter. And I'm not being disingenuous, I'm responding directly to your suggestion that the federal government send soldiers to occupy the state of Texas, and reacting in good faith.
