BRAVO!!!
Hopefully, we can create islands of stability by encouraging the civil society in red states. However, this will require the passage of state laws that discourage Leftist migration from the blue states. Promote laws that restrict welfare benefits, uphold gun rights, family values, ban/restrict abortion in addition to advancing free-market policies
I agree with you 100%. We need to resurrect what was once unashamedly called the “Christian consensus” which means that our society and laws should comport with the essential elements of Judeo-Christian thought. This does not in any way mean that states should create their own theocracies; but it does mean that there are certain absolute and time tested truths that can be used to promote the civil society. These constructs are an anathema to the moral relativism of the Left and they provide more than sufficent means of excluding their ilk. The Left can occupy their Sodoms and Gomorrahs, and the results will be predictable.
We just need a few key states to take these ideas seriously.
