I grew up in California...LA & Sacramento. After I got married we moved to Wyoming where our nearest neighbor is two miles away. The air is clean, it’s so quiet in the winter it’s stunning, and I do not miss the mobs of ‘diversity’ that I used to have to contend with every day.
And here if a deputy asks me if I have a gun it’s usually because he wants to make sure I have one, not because he’s going to terrorize me for exercising my rights.
Here in this place I am free.
I am West Texas born and back retired (12 years) after living a lot of different places. Nothing like the sunsets, desolation, clear skies, bright stars and cool breezes. I think the answer to many of our current issues has to do with federalism and a reassertion of state sovereignty. I love my country but liberalism and the abuses of federal power are beginning to make me love my state more.
