We are in an area that was largely rural when we moved here, but now is being overrun as well. The first ten years we were here were idyllic; things started to change when the small town was incorporated.
They tried to annex the location where we are at, and it was supposed to be a done deal. I helped organize a mini-revolt with a large number of people who showed up at the hearing about it. This was a critical moment in time. One person after another got up and told them to pound sand. They haven't tried since and at this point everyone can see what happened, so no one would want to make things worse.
This victory helped hold things in check for awhile, but larger forces have been in play. And our area is severely impacted anyway. You have to love people from areas where they have no experience with this type of thing... and they almost always blame those of us who tried to resist for the problems. Lets hope President Trump can lead a pendulum swing back to the right, otherwise the rest of the country in in for a nasty surprise.
Sorry tk hear that. It’s almost like losing a loved one when something like that happens to a town and way of life that we loved. Life in the 70’s-90’s or so really was a much better America and way of life, but those ideals are far behind us now, and never coming back now that the left have attained their goal of infesting our nation with hard core criminals and terrorists who hate us, and illegals, of whom almost 70% will end up 9n welfare permanelty, and many of,which will move into small towns where they feel safer to commit crimes to keep their drug and alcohol habits going.
There are now some really violent and vicious criminal gangs here from all over- gangs that make MS-13 look tame by comparison, and those members are making their way into smaller towns because committing crimes there is easier than in big cities.
Thr America I loved is gone- not sure it will ever come back due to above facts, but hopefully we can make enouhg gains to make it much better than it is now.
In the 70’s though the 90’s or so, everyone was mostly getting along- blacks and whites got along fairly well, but today, the left have so amped up racial hatred of blacks towards whites that the nation has become really unsafe. There is so much anger and rage coming out of the black community now, that just looking at someone “the wrong way” could result in a hospital stint or even death. So much seething rage- so much reverse racism.
Sad to see!
