Needs to be an Open Carry State, Like Alaska. Ya, Alaska is a good place for them.

Yes, Republicans clearly need a safe space. Alabama perhaps.

Ah yes, setup the capital in a place like Salt Lake City where for the longest time you couldn't make a mixed drink out in public and had to do it behind a screen because somehow little kids would be morally corrupted if they see a vodka bottle out in the open.

I remember my mom saying how they used to white out comic strips in news papers to censor them in Idaho because some things were deemed to be offensive by religious whackos ( went to UoI).

The Zion Curtain is so dumb. I mean...I have never had a drink. I’ve managed this long to not do it despite the obviously overwhelming siren call of watching drinks made for others, elsewhere. I wish they had the lottery here, too. Mamma loves her scratchers.

Why would it need to be an "open carry state"?

So they can walk around with two large revolvers on their hips.

As long as the media centers remain in places like manhattan and Hollywood , real change is not possible. How about create capitals of government,finance and media that people are proud of. Most americans hate NYC and DC and LA.

Starting from scratch you could build a state of the art mass transit system,new infrastructure, better designed cities. DC and its suburbs and LA are parking lots with gridlock and traffic and very poorly designed, getting off laguardia or driving into nyc is depressing noting how old and outdated everything is, the bridges and subway looks terrible .

Places like Dubai,Singapore,Munich,so much of Asia etc are newer and much better infrastructure

And that would do what? Is the implication here that normal people need to engage with our political leaders with their guns? And why would "open carry" matter? If they really want to "take the battle to the government", there's nothing stopping them from marching on DC right now, guns in tow.

What an absurd comment.

Why do people move to these places in droves if "most Americans" hate them? Why is the real estate market in these places booming and expensive and desirable if "most Americans" hate them?

I don't see America moving to rural America in droves. Maybe "most Americans" hate those places.

Really odd isn't it? You do not speak for "most Americans."

lol, NYC gets 60 million tourists a year. how many tourists does Kansas City get because of their vibrant culture?

Terrible urban planning is an axiom of the entire US, not just LA, DC, or NYC. Texas is an absolute disaster. The entire US was built on the idea that we'd be driving everywhere unlike how Dubai, Singapore, Munich and many parts of Asia were built. NYC also has the most subway stops in the entire world out of any city - it's really easy to take and get around almost anywhere in NYC.
