There’s a reason why the civilised world sneers at the US

    Same here. I plan to move as soon as I can afford to. It’s weird being one of a small group of liberals living in a place where the citizens see me as “evil” for caring about human rights.

      I can’t move. I have a little white trash palace on a half acre and even if I sold it it I would not be able to buy another place somewhere I am welcome. Thankfully I live 45 mins form Asheville. I will have to make do with what I have. I am only 45k in my retirement so moving is not much of an option to me. I am a small travel trailer so I can leave if I need to.

        If it is mobile, you might check with the Bureau of Land Management. You might be able to get a cheap homestead, and move your trailer there. Solar is cheap and plentiful in southern California.

          Moving a 1985 mobile home 3000 miles in not an option. It would fall apart just moving it off the blocks. The best thing for me to do is just keep to myself. I barely talk to anyone now. I have a lesbian couple as neighbors and they are good people. Like I said Asheville is like 45 mins away and I have friends there. If shit get too bad I can hook up my camper and go but I would be abandoning my neighbors. There are so many variables. I think I need more ammo.
