Other red states have made similar moves in blue cities even as crime in those cities has decreased sharply from pandemic-era highs. And now President Donald Trump is borrowing from the playbook, sending federal agents and National Guard troops to patrol the nation’s capital and threatening to do the same elsewhere.
“It’s part of the narrative that these cities are incapable of administering public safety even though crime is on a downswing since the pandemic,” said Jorge Camacho, an associate research scholar in law at Yale Law School. “You still need a foil to blame for problems that are real and imagined. I expect to see that wielded for the foreseeable future.”
I’m a leftist in a deep red state, i refuse to leave and i will fight the nazi’s no problem.
I know this area VERY well and i know where to gain supporters and start a militia. I have all the experience needed to teach others, so i’m not worried. Going to the protests in the deepest red cities has shown me that i have thousands of like minded people around me that will also fight.
Leaving is what they want you to do, self deport as they say.
Now is the time to firm that Militia and start training. Tomorrow is too late.
I know, but if it can avoid violence then I think self deporting is a good alternative to civil war. I’d rather a peaceful split up than a bloody fight. I don’t want to kill conservatives, I just don’t want to be ruled by them.
Edit: but I also don’t feel overly attached to the state I’m in because I didn’t grow up here. Although, the state I did grow up in is also a deep red state, but I didn’t feel any great loyalty to that state either. IDK, I can understand why some people don’t want to give up their home, but war is so destructive. I mean, how much of your state would you be willing to destroy in your war for it?
