Obviously they're grandstanding idiots. Did you actually think I would have a different opinion?
I don't think they're really comparable to the CSA though since it's a few week stunt rather than an actual attempt to form a separate country.

They turned their backs on the US to preserve slavery. Traitors.
"Kalifornia" is childish and only takes away from your post.
Average citizens "pushing for" succession is free speech, no matter how silly you or I believe it to be. It's also not treason and no one should be hanged for it, but you are fully aware of this. Using hyperbole as a substitute for a real argument is your shtick.

They were Traitors because they committed treason. They did betray the US.
If they were not traitors, why were they pardoned for Treason?
Even more they all admitted it was treason.
Accepting a pardon is an admission of guilt. That means that, the people that were there at the time, that committed the act, admitted that the Civil War was treason. Making them Traitors...
Might as well use the old magnolia flag which incorporates the bonnie blue as a canton on a white banner with a magnolia tree. The problem is this flag flew over the state exclusively during the WBTS. While something like this would have been readily accepted just a few years ago in today's world no flag is going to be acceptable that has any symbology remotely associated with the confederacy even though the initial issue with the CBF was its co-option by racist hate groups.
Quotes from Abraham Lincoln:
[FONT="]I have no purpose, directly or indirectly, to interfere with the institution of slavery in the States where it exists ... I have no purpose to introduce political and social equality between the white and the black races.
[/FONT][FONT="]My understanding is that Popular Sovereignty, as now applied to the question of slavery, does allow the people of a Territory to have slavery if they want to, but does not allow them not to have it if they do not want it.
[/FONT]If I could save the union without freeing any slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that[FONT="]
And then we have the Corwin Amendment which passed both houses of Congress and was ratified by some states at the onset of the Civil War.

Aren’t you the “slippery slope” lady? The one who said the rioters wouldn’t start going after statues of non-racist folks?
And how is people pushing for succession NOT treasonous, but doing it like the southern states is? I’m confused. Or is it just you double standard logic that’s nonsensical? I trust it’s the latter.

I just have to say it’s disturbing that a person with the username 40 acres and a mule can be so tone deaf to the racial after effects of the confederacy.
They could have not committed treason. Or not accepted the pardon.
I’m not the dumb ************ saying that raising an army to fight the USA is somehow not treason.

Ok. Because the reversed stars and bars would be an ugly ******* flag. And is more a csa symbol. Which if the whole ******* point of changing the racist white supremacy flag of Mississippi.
It is not the flag of the Republic of West Florida. It is a flag used by the Confederate States of America. That is the primary association it has in Mississippi history. The Republic of West Florida existed for 2.5 months in 1810. If we're going to say that the Bonnie Blue Flag is the flag of the Republic of West Florida (and not a Confederate flag) because both are blue with a star we should also say that the Bonnie Blue Flag is the flag of Somalia.
If there is any doubt that the Bonnie Blue Flag is a Confederate flag, just look at the history of the CSA. When Mississippi seceded from the Union in January 1861 it was the Bonnie Blue that flew above the capitol dome. They didn't do that in reference to the Republic of West Florida, a republic that existed for 2.5 months over 50 years prior.
As far as compromise, no, we don't have to compromise on removing a Confederate flag as an official symbol of our state in the year 2020.
