The geography is irrelevant. Texas is conservative because conservative people life there. If they all moved to Massachusetts they'd still be conservatives.
I wonder though how many would be able to voluntarily move — are we talking about modern “wagon trains”? I can’t possibly see these logistics working though...
There would certainly be some upheaval, but we're a relatively mobile society now. People aren't risking their lives like they were in the time of literal wagon trains. If you tell the freedom-loving people which side of the border is free, and they'll find a way to get there without any assistance. Tell the freebies-loving people where they can find their freebies and they'll get there on their own. Right now, nobody has to provide assistance to the people from Gary, Indiana for them to find their way to Minnesota to sign up for welfare.
Is our government “totaled”, or merely leaking oil, and making some scary “knocks” but still running?
I don't know, but I'm not seeing things headed in the right direction. I see this country headed toward a cliff, and once we go over the edge its too late. Could we turn before we get to the cliff? Sure, but I'm becoming more and more doubtful that we will.
I know people that are quietly bailing out of this country right now because they see what direction we're going. I'm hopeful that we can change so I don't have to leave too, but if America continues down the path toward no longer being the land of the free, I'll head someplace else. I don't want to wind up like the people in some totalitarian state that wished they would have got out while they had the chance.
The commies/globalists/perverts/fascists are all over the world, in every government, to varying degrees. South and Central America are falling like dominoes - not every country of course, but more and more. Add to the mix Muslims - there is no safe place.
Stand and fight is the only recourse.
