A little something from one of my shooting buddies for the Woke Folk to consider…
But they’re not allowed to read it.

A thought. With the exception of Salt Lake City and Honolulu, no American urban area has more than three days worth of food. Salt Lake City because it’s full of Mormons, whose religion requires a year’s worth of food and medicine to be stocked at any time (who says the religious can’t be practical), and Honolulu, because it’s often isolated by storms for a week or two at a time.
Bullet point: The primary cultural difference in America isn’t Democrat vs. Republican, socialist vs. capitalist, or “liberal” vs. conservative. Look at a map of any recent Presidential election BY COUNTY, and you’ll see that our great divide is between major cities and the remainder of the country. Other than mostly unpopulated Indian reservations, the Democratic Party can’t win an election more than an hour’s drive from the downtown area of a major city.
Farmers, fishermen, and ranchers are virtually all traditional Americans, what is nowadays labelled an
“extreme” conservative. The same for the truckers and train crews that bring the food to the cities. Plus the oil drillers and refinery workers, lumberjacks, saw mill workers, plumbers, carpenters, electricians, police, and military that keep the urban “elite” fed, safe, and pampered.
Those major urban areas don’t manufacture anything anymore. What physical wealth they have is as “through-puts”, shipping ports for goods produced elsewhere, passing through from the world to America, or from America to the world. The new, larger Panama Canal makes the west coast far less important to this country than it was before, and the shipping ports of the deep south are rapidly becoming the new central hub of the United States.
The old tired cities of the liberal coasts have office space that could more easily and cheaply be in Des Moines or Tuscaloosa, major elitist universities that arguably are a drag on our nation rather than a plus, and generally rather authoritarian governments that resemble failing socialist Western Europe far more than they do anything native to America.
Anti business regimes, brutally high taxes, a smug, self-righteous sense of (unwarranted) superiority, and rampant crime compared to middle America, all have combined to make the big cities, particularly on the coasts and Great Lakes, places that are so far removed from the American heartland that they are foreign and hostile cancers that threaten the existence of our country and culture.
What is there to do about this unfortunate situation? What perfectly legal and non-violent way is there for Main Street America to stick it to a culturally unassimilated collection of parasitic sociopaths who insist that only they can run America?
Return to the observation at the beginning of my rant, the bit about almost no cities having more than three days food, along with water and electricity piped or cabled in from hundreds or thousands of miles away in “fly-over” country.
What if conservative America just took a week off, went on an unscheduled vacation? Picture New York City or Los Angeles with no food or police for a week, without anybody to fix the plumbing or electricity, nobody to fight fires?
The Democratic Party maintains power by having a huge number of serfs completely dependent on it, either as multi-generational welfare recipients or bureaucrats. These people are clustered overwhelmingly in urban areas, where they are farmed for their votes.
What happens when the food stops, when the gas stations are empty and the buses stop running? What will that violent professional underclass do to the people, the culture, that created them and maintained them in their state of helplessness?
Another bullet point, the primary one: The American left exists only at the sufferance of the American right. They literally couldn’t wipe their bottoms without us. Even sporadic, partial boycotts of goods and services would throw the cities into a tailspin.
It could only result in greater leverage for the producers who enable the entire culture.
