The problem with cities like portland, la and others turning into dumpter fires is that the people who voted for bad policies that turned them into dumpster fires flee like rats from a sinking ship and move to places like NH where pro liberty/conservatives have generally speaking done a good/better job of implementing "good policies" that make these places desirable.
Problem is that these blow ins dont make the connection between the dumpster fire's they fled and their bad voting history/support for bad policies/politicians.
We've been watching this happen the last 12 months wrt folks fleeing mismanaged blue states due to Rona.....without any reflection on what made NY/Mass/NJ such an utter failure.....
The more the above cities degrade, the more people will flee......only people left will be the poorest/least able to flee......not the people that created the dumpster fire via bad policy/governance
Well as the guys who frequent WesternRifleShooters like to say - know your own AO.
I know who all the (apparently) most dedicated Biden voters are in my area - because they were all stupid enough to put Biden signs up on their front lawns. Or in one case - a Trump banner sized Biden sign on the side of his garage.
That guy's house burns first if the lefties decide to turn this area into an operating zone for BLM & Antifah types.
Oh yeah - and you can find drones that will lift a pretty decent payload BTW. Enough to lift a 64oz soda bottle full of gasoline. You know - in case you run out of gas and just need somebody to airlift you enough to make it to the next station.
You keep talking about affecting local politics - well if you can't affect your own local politics enough to keep all the shitbags from the blue states out, well then you're not going to be accomplish jack shit in a state all the way on the other side of the country. The best you can hope for is a nice bonfire of an example of "don't be stupid like these people were". And if the new imports start mouthing off - well that's even more reason to hope that their home states end up as flaming dumpster firest sooner rather than later - because then you've got a really good reason to tell them to STFU or GTFO.
