Today's edition of you can't make this shit up.
Does this dumbfuck realize that sure Georgia has a Republican Governor but she represents a state that went "Blue" in the 2020 Presidential Election and has two Democratic Senators?

Of course this is ridiculous for a number of reasons, including those you identify.
But I do have a serious question - between this, and her previous assertion that insurrectionists are "prisoners of war", isn't she sort of making her seditious intent an open and shut case?
There's a very real possibility that these sort of bloviations end up getting her locked up.

Said person’s dumbfuckery notwithstanding, maybe it is time to retroactively concede the Civil War and hold plebiscites on either side to decide whether they want to stay with the United States or join with the traitors.

Let's stay in a make-believe world where this was possible. What are the MAGAs going to do, take Atlanta by force? As if that would...in some way...get them Coca Cola and Home Depot and so on? And Fortune 500 is only the tip of the iceberg...what exactly is the secessionists' economic plan, when they're leaving the crime-infested, gang-run blue cities (and their economies) behind?
The Unwoke States of New America figures to be a pretty goddamn bleak place. But at least the women won't have rights!

I would also note that pesky 14th Amendment, which provides (in relevant part), that "[no] person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof."

As much as I loathe her comments, the one highlighted is far worse.

Explain. To be clear, by no means am I saying that she should be locked up
for her words.

Then I guess I don't understand what other "very real possibility" you are talking about. Being a moron isn't against the law. Saying stupid shit like what she said isn't against the law. Is it immoral and disgusting from a member of Congress? Yes, obviously. Does it imply that she would actively lend her assistance to another insurrection? I have no doubt about it. Outside of that, I am not sure what you were getting at.

Give them Texas, Oklahoma, New Mexico and Arizona but strip all federal resources from the state. Charge them tolls on every inch of all federal interstates as well and charge them outrageous prices to sell them every federally built port, building or structure. Then install a 20+% tariff on any good sold to their new nation, including on food, parts, everything. You want to be on your own, then go be on your own and fuck off.
Or they could take their own advice and leave if they don't like it here.

It's not unreasonable to think she has been, is or will be connected to criminal seditious/insurrectionist/terroristic activity. And she is giving a prosecutor ample, clear evidence of her favorable state of mind toward such activities.
In other words, her bloviations here could go a long way to establishing intent in a criminal case.

The movement of cargo down the Mississippi River won't suddenly go somewhere else if sea level rises.
