NEVER "google" anything. Use a different search engine like Bing or DuckDuckGo. NEVER use the Chrome browser. Use something like Brave or Firefox instead. NEVER use gmail. Use something like ProtonMail or Outlook instead. Google not only is notorious for spying on you and selling your information, they are terrible about censoring conservative views on the search engine, which now is more of a propaganda engine. Google is an extremely evil company and should be shunned.

We already had the Second American Revolution. It was fought between 1861 and 1865 and was also known as the War Between the States. In it, the Southern states sought to uphold the limited government principles of Thomas Jefferson, but failed. What is perhaps needed now is the spirit of 1861 and secession from an overbearing central government. Perhaps the Wexit (western exit) movement in the western Canadian provinces would fit in.

I am reminded of the letter from British political philosopher Lord Acton, whose most famous quote is "power corrupts and absolute power corrupts absolutely", wrote to General Robert E. Lee in 1866 in which he stated: "Without presuming to decide the purely legal question, on which it seems evident to me from Madison's and Hamilton's papers that the Fathers of the Constitution were not agreed, I saw in State Rights the only availing check upon the absolutism of the sovereign will, and secession filled me with hope, not as the destruction but as the redemption of Democracy. The institutions of your Republic [the United States] have not exercised on the old world the salutary and liberating influence which ought to have belonged to them, by reason of those defects and abuses of principle which the Confederate Constitution was expressly and wisely calculated to remedy. I believed that the example of that great Reform would have blessed all the races of mankind by establishing true freedom purged of the native dangers and disorders of Republics. Therefore I deemed that you were fighting the battles of our liberty, our progress, and our civilization; and I mourn for the stake which was lost at Richmond more deeply than I rejoice over that which was saved at Waterloo"
