Wait a minute-
My family lives in NJ. We are conservatives and Trump supporters.
We obey the laws and ‘shelter in place’ etc. We stay healthy and are coronavirus free. We are inconvenienced to no end but we put up with it. Don’t we deserve your compassion? Why are you freepers doing what the RATS are doing - treat us as bad guys and condemn us?
You are lucky you don’t live in NJ but do you have to throw the baby out with the bath water?
Lighten up, Francis.
Like you and many in CA including the headquarters of this site, I too am behind enemy lines.
Painting areas with a broad brush hurts but the fact is the we are closer to a secessionist movement as discussed in the recent nonfiction book I read American Secession: The Looming Threat of a National Breakup by F.H. Buckley.
The book is not really good enough but it does cover the fact that people increasingly do not want to live near the people they really hate. Dems hate all of us and want us dead. Kid yourself or not.
So the book said UHauls and moving vans will help people migrate out of enemy territory more and more. Areas will split and have to decide if they leave the US how much of the national debt and military to pay.
Dirty Dems are ruining NV,CO,AZ,and TX and it isn’t stopping. Good people remaining in NY,NJ,CA,and southeast Michigan (me) isn’t a good idea. But it costs money to move and I’m retired.
An interviewer of this author tried to argue down some points but then realized he was leaving one alternative: violent civil war. It seemed to sort of scare him because he quickly went back to changing his mind and seeing some good in the moving people out of each state idea. And peaceful secession. Not just CA.
