The right wing parties in europe will be our future, they combine formerly left wing issues with right wing power . We need a Hegelian synthesis- right wing environmentalism , most leftist males are beta males who dont accomplish much
Your generalizations are no more appealing than Seacove's. Also, I did not say she is a "true far-right winger." I said she is a conservative.

Also, you lost me at "trannies" and "beta males."

Right-wingers care about the environment? Nothing could be further from the truth. This is reason #10,999,999 why we should be able to regionalize with states that share political, environmental, fiscal and social goals. National Geographic is keeping a running list of all the things Trump has done and Trump is the worst president in my lifetime when it comes to the environment. Republicans have shown they fully support what Trump is doing so clearly, the GOP has zero love for the environment.

While I would have supported a move toward states rights during the Obama years, with Trump, I would emphatically support it. I truly believe he is the worst president in U.S. history and even Bush seems amazed at how bad he is. I also support citistates, regions or any other definition that allows states to collaborate or combine for their mutual benefit. The West Coast would likely do that immediately, the South would as well and probably the Northeast.
Yes but so much of that growth was all amazon?

What do you mean by the West coast? The majority of Washingtons pacific coast counties and Oregons pacific coast counties went for trump? Del norte in northern california as well. Its very separated geographically from the blue and red counties

I dont care about the GOP / american alt right ( there are some interesting ones though ) / Conservatives etc. .American politics is dull for the most part. The European Right synthesis of left and right values is what is interesting to me

Actually Trump only got 36% of Washington's vote. Bernie Sanders won Washington in the primary. Here is a breakdown of Washington's 2016 presidential election. Clearly not just Seattle and the reddest areas have very low populations.

No, Texans moving to Washington do not only work at Amazon. For starters, Washington also has Microsoft, Google, Facebook, Apple, Expedia, Salesforce, Starbucks, Nordstrom, Costco, REI, etc. I'm guessing a lot of Texans may be liberals fleeing Texas before we build a wall to keep them out, since Washington is turning more blue, not less. But the point is, all those tech companies in Seattle also have offices in California. The business environment along the West Coast is very much a shared one. We have far more in common with our region that we do the rest of the country.

Austin has more employees from California companies like Apple than Seattle.

But how how is this a region?

No, it really isn't. The whole "alpha male" thing is borrowed from studies of wolf packs, and most people who throw it around have absolutely no idea what they are talking about. Let me tell you a secret: each pack has only one alpha, and if you are the beta, you are better off than most of the other wolves. It's a stupid, meaningless insult, and the newly-trendy word I wish would die a swift and painful death.
