For a real waking nightmare, consider the possibility that his supporters do not care about oil prices, consider oil dirty and live in cities w/public transport. They receive food stamps or have public pensions. They are already on Medicare, Medicaid or receive union medical benefits. Their life goal is to feel good about themselves. They equate collective control with being *good*.
Believe me, even in SD such people exist. Some are citizens of a sovereign nation, within our borders, that do not live in cities w/public transportation. Many others are move ins, that strangely enough bring there statist ideas with them to a land somewhat removed from the ideas given birth in the large population centers of the land.
I hear you.
We have considered SoDak, but the places we are attracted to because of the availability of navigable water and *some* hills, such as Yankton, are full of statists, due to the universities. However, you are still in a state that is affordable, has an economy and AFAIK,is still sovereign. If you had more hills and more rainfall, you would be overrun.
We have the statists over here in SW WI, too. More and more of them every year. Not just the transplants, but the inculcated younger generation and, of course, the unionized.
I don’t have any answer to the problem of the tribes. As you said, they are their own nation and we have little input, except for all the Federal tax money. Poster children for the folly of white guilt and Federal dependence.
I am glad to be old. We experienced the very best time of this nation. Sux to be ending our lives in America’s decline.
