We shall see.
On the west coast there are 3 states hell-bent on unilaterally passing their own ‘climate change’ agenda locally. I don’t share your optimism. Neither about ‘16...quite the contrary, actually (see tagline).
I’m actually not so optimistic as you might perceive. I believe the pendulum spends most if not all of its time on the left, and swings deeply that way, while only swinging back toward the right, not actually past the middle. It will probably result in massive bloodshed or the attrition of the old patriots that are still armed.
That is if something isn’t done about the water inside the Beltway.
