“secessionist nutbags”
What’s that? Wanting to secede from a country that has literally been taken over by Communists is being a “nutbag”?
When ANTIFA came to Couer d’Alene in the summer of 2020 they were met by 5000 armed people. They were escorted through town, got to wave their little black flags, and they were politely asked to leave.
Those people are “nutbags”?
There’s a lot of them on this forum.
PS - if you wanna buy some nice real estate in the Redoubt, start here:
The Evil Americans of the lovely redoubt even have real estate offices. Whatta concept!
But things are really expensive now, because EVERYONE with a brain wants to live there.
The motto here is: don't start none, won't be none.
“Those people are “nutbags”?”
Actually, while I understand the impulse, yes. Such people, assuming they exist in Couer d’Alene, would be nut-bags in the full sense of the word. In 1861, you could secede from the Union for whatever reason, and be more or less ok one way or another.
In a nuclear age, on a global stage, it’s impossible and possibly suicidal. China would snatch up one part of the globe and enslave everyone. Russia would snatch up the other and do crooked deals for Putin’s cronies. Then they would turn their attention to each other and America. It would not be pretty, and the people in Couer d’Alene looking for a tranquil life far from a centralized, tyrannical government, would remember that dream fondly as they worked in the salt mines under the whip of their overlords, who might speak Chinese or Russian.
Or it could all just end in a cascade of mushroom clouds.
