I just caught this article. It describes my hopes for this place far better than I can. I agree completely with the author minus a single point of fleeing blue states and concentrating in red areas. This will cause us to be easy concentrated targets. Our positive externality will be hidden and dismissed. The only thing that needs to be abandoned is the cities and suburbs. If you must remain in them then vote straight ticket blue to accelerate their collapse and have a foot out the door. If you have children then staying is an increasingly bad idea. All the rural areas of blue states are where many hard core adherents of our ideals reside. You go to rural South Dakota and most people have literally no clue what it's like to stand on the front lines. Go to rural Northern California and those motherfuckers KNOW. They have stood on the front lines for 2 full generations now. Hiding behind people who are too poor to flee is the cowards way out. We should not give ground. We will cut support for those who need it the most. The goal should not be to build a tiny white rural reservation in the US heartland that is completely surrounded... But to provide an example of how to live and live well outside these terrible systems that surround us.
