As a practical matter, it looks like we are heading for civil war.
You don’t want any more of your own people to be collateral damage than you can avoid so if conservatives want to live in cities they should wait until new ones are built after the war.
I’ve lived in large cities most of my life due primarily to the fact that I can make a hell of a lot more money (even considering cost of living) than I could in the hinterlands.
I’ve found plenty of like minded people, most of my colleagues fall into the same top1 or 2% and in the same boat..... and The 10 years I lived in BFE I saw firsthand how dependent the majority of the populace was on disability, county and state contracts, etc and little of anything was created or produced that didn’t have govt money of some sort behind it
Where I live we know we build business, provide value, and can find the people we need to do so. Tried it in the country and it was nigh on impossible
Don’t get me wrong....love rural USA but the lack of skilled people, meth and opioids everywhere, and the education systems (and lack of private educational opportunities) in most of the country is a real thing
One day I’ll retire and move back to the hills but until I have finished what I want and my kids have finished their educations it ain’t happening
