Best place Gulf Coast of Florida and Polk County in Florida. Pinellas and Hillsborough are swing countries, but from Citrus to Lee it is pretty conservative. Monroe County is pretty conservative, on the mainland but Key West, which is Monroe County, is moderate.
Thanks for your creative thinking Taffylucy. We will need more of that as the future rolls-out.
What would happen if, say, a Marxist coup took over the government of the United States and in three years failed leaving behind a wrecked economy and a Federal government incapable of functioning. People could be looking for a better place to live, work, and raise their children in peace within a system of values capable of rebuilding a powerful and free America.
A basic consideration for any geo-political “homeland”, that large numbers can migrate into, is the local economies’ ability to support them. The more remote a region the less likely this can happen unless you are prepared for subsistence farming. This is good choice for young families but as they grow older they will need their youngsters committed to stay home and support them. Any parent knows this is risky.
Another option, and I think a better one, is to move to a region where the residents share and sustain the same values you do and have friendly local governments and economic infrastructure already in place. To be independent a port system, international airports, and not least - military installations up and running that are sympathetic to your purpose would be an objective. This describes the Southern tier of states from South Carolina, Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, and Texas. Florida would over time become a strongly conservative state through in migration.
I am not suggesting a formal secession or reestablishment of the old Confederacy is necessary, but a cooperative of states bound in common values, economic interests, and mutual defense agreements relying on existing state guard units. All other governing structures would remain in place. This way such a movement would not have to invent the wheel over and again. These relationships already exist less formally in many cases.
Considering that we are writing this today January 5th 2021 is not lost on me and all that the Georgia vote and the Electoral Certification tomorrow implies for us and our Country. While it is right to consider what we would do if this or some other scene might play out; I think we owe it to those who came before us and our children’s children to take off our gloves first and fight until we no longer can to make our system work.
As a people who value human life and the decency to treat others as our selves, we have hesitated to use the weapons of our deadly enemy but they have brought this fight to us. Now we must fight for the life we hold dear.
I am an old man who has known what war means and peace is better, but every generation must struggle for its freedom. There are hills worth dying on and the time may come when we must risk it all or live a coward’s life in the ashes of never knowing what might have been.
It looks like we will know the answer soon.
You’re one hell of a writer and a good thinker. It must not be good in the neighborhood if you’re abandoning it. What about a nicer one in your current state or one nearby? You’ll avoid a lot of uncertainty and adjustment if you just moved somewhere nicer but not too far away. Maybe a nice, easily defensible lakeside or mountaintop retreat. :)
Texas. We still significantly outnumber the left-wingers, for now. Cornyn won re-election by over 10%. Chip Roy beat abortion Barbie. Trump won the state by almost 6%. We can both save Texas and save freedom. Then TX can ask LA, MS, AL, TN, SC, NC, FL, KY, WV, IN, AR, MO, IA, OK, KS, NE, SD, ND, WY, MT, ID, and UT if they want to join us.
I’ve found that each person’s individual situation in other respects has more than region to do with happiness and success. For example, one individual in a person’s surroundings can make life miserable to them (psychopathy, rumors, etc.). A series of negatives occurrences can have the same effect. Sometimes, it’s best to simply get up and try again or consider a shorter move for a restart.
Things might be rougher in new ways everywhere for a long time, if the Democrats get those Senate seats in Georgia. *And every state has its particular kinds of corruption and socialism.*
If you want to make good changes for the future, the effort must start with educating others, especially the young folks. Otherwise, things will certainly go from bad to much worse.
One bit of advice about regions. If you’re accustomed to dry weather in western states, beware the middle and lower parts of the Midwest. The heat and humidity make many people miserable, sleepless or even ill, and the bugs are awesomely pesky, populous and busy biters. Crime is sky high and often violent, even in rural areas (meth, heroin and many other similar drugs, home invasions, car jackings,...).
Most of the cities, large and small, beg with ads full of pretty fiction for people to move to them and spend their money. I remember one small city putting out ads like that not long ago, and the place is gangsterville. Even the grubbiest of residents are fleeing there.
One more thing about the Midwest. It’s hard to make a living. Newcomers get overnight shifts. Degrees are a dime a dozen, and everyone is dying for a low paying office job. The prisons are always hiring.
