What would be the best state to be in when things pop off?

I find people who hold politics as their main source of identity very strange.

You have NOTHING in common with progressives or liberals? You aren’t a runner, husband, parent, sibling, fan of any teams, music fanboy, foodie, drinker, or anything else?

I have many friends who have all of these in common with me, but we are exact opposites politically. We never have any issues.

Yet, this guy can’t even “live amongst” people with separate political identities 😂

Depends on what you're talking about. I think there are three things that are important:
1. You are self sufficient. You can live off the land if need be.
2. You stay away from large cities.

3. You arm yourself.

I know progressives who feel the same way. The sentiment on both sides makes me sad for our country.

Fortunately, perception is *not* reality. If we’re open to challenging our preconceived notions, we might come to find we have more in common than we realize. Moreover: most of America is ideologically in the middle. The extremists on both sides garner all the attention, but the reality is they are in the minority.

The Perception Gap is worthwhile reading for anyone who is concerned about our country:

Do you have a yawning Perception Gap, or are you in sync with the American public? Our study explores how Americans tend to have a distorted understanding of people on the other side of the aisle, what causes it, and why it m...

Fully concur—WOLVERINES! And stay hydrated in case you have fill up the radiator.

I'd try Montana, I did fine in Far Cry 5.

How ya gonna keep warm in the winter? Keep a fire going 24 hours a day for 6 months?

It’s a sad state of affairs as America comes to an end. I too moved to a red state.

I have no desire to live with people are diametrically opposed to everything I believe.

Examples: 1st Amendment, 2nd Amendment, public education, border crisis, supply chain crisis, climate hysteria, teaching CRT to k-12, gender identity k-12, mandates, lockdowns, suspension of civil liberties.

Progressives have everything they want in Chicago and NY and Seattle and Portland. All of those places instituted your policies. Please live there..

Yeah, I think you guys need to read "The Road." Survival post-apocalypse will be about evading packs of fellow humans who want to feed on YOU, and they're probably going to be better armed and prepared than you are. It will be disgusting and hopeless. If I get the warning that missiles are incoming, I'm calling my loved ones and walking outside to take the easy way out.

At least we won't have to listen to the constant hysteria coming from the global warming zealots whining about 1 degree of warming in 2090.

Nebraska is filled with nuclear launch silos = ground zero. Alaska is mostly inaccessible ... the only way in is to parachute from a derelict prop plane.

Maybe his mom lives in the desert and he plans to expand his basement there.

Florida has plenty of gators, and the south has critters galore. Road kill in the south usually makes it to the barbecue grill ... first dibs.
