This isn't 1860, ya know.
If they let their rage get the better of them (follow along with Niewert and/or Digby on the topic of Right Wing Victimization and Rage), they won't be interested in secession (though I wish they were, and like T3, I'd say, "Let them go and let them put GeeDubya to rule over them. Please!") They will want to "take their country back."
Their country, not yours or mine, or anyone's but their's. And if they are able to do it I doubt most of us would like it much.
You thought the Busheviks were bad?
We haven't seen Bad, not like what would transpire in the event of a wingnut revolution and overthrow of what few tattered remnants remain of our civil and governmental structure.
I doubt most of us would like it any better if such a thing came from the Left, but there is no chance at all that such a thing would happen. There is more than a slim chance of its happening from the Right.
I sometimes wish it were about secession. It isn't.
