    if you let them they’ll expand to the point where they’re running towns and cities. at which point you’ve just got sundown towns with extra steps.

    I saw the documentary about them and people in the local area were like “They’re up there not bothering anyone leave them alone”

    ignoring the fact that these people are actively trying to expand… There is only one way this ends up if they do

    The problem wouldn’t be much better for your proposed no-maga, no-republican community. We’re in the situation we’re in because of political siloing. The answer isn’t more political siloing

      Hmm I know yours is the rational answer, but if I never have to worry that the nurse giving my son a shot is going to explain to me how Biden is cancelling medicaid for everyone so they can be sure to give it to “the illegals” then I do indeed consider more political siloing to be a step up. I would find a way to move my family if you said I could live in a town where I can be absolutely certain no one I live, work, and interact with looks at what Trump is doing and thinks they want more of that.

      When we finally get around to trying to return to normalcy, if I haven’t died of old age by then, I will go to my grave excluding Trump voters from my life in all possible ways for what they have inflicted on my kids, their kids, and the nation. I’ve known a few old folks in my life who were the sweetest people ever until you’d ask them about Nazis or Soviets because of what they did to those people or their countrymen in the mid-twentieth century. I’m already ramping up to be the sweet old guy who better not find out you were a maga.
