It is what it is. I have zero hope that we will have 50 states as currently constituted in 20 years. Regions of relative freedom are my best-case scenario. Worst case runs from Max Max to hard tyranny on the level of Hitler or Stalin. Of course, I’ll be dead by then, picked up in the early purges. With luck, surrounded by hot brass and DRT, and not just thrown in a torture cell.
“...surrounded by hot brass...”
I hear you, brother...loud and clear.
