    In the Year of Our Lord 2025, it’s perfectly moral to burn down the home of anyone who chooses to live in a whites-only community.

      How do you feel about the Ultra-Orthodox-Jewish-only communities in East Ramapo and Kiryas Joel in NYS? Same difference?

      I ask because I live near them. If you don’t know about them, you should look them up. I can tell you that these folks make the white-only community look like a bunch of kumbaya hippies from the 70s.

      No need. Just sell them land primed for wildfires. Ideally somewhere that burned years ago and can’t get insurance.

        That’s not how wildfires work. If it burned, the fuels have been consumed. This is why the Forest Service in the western US do prescribed burns. Forest fires are actually an essential part ecosystems.

          That’s why I said years ago. Need something that’s burned before so insurance doesn’t pay. Ideally something that burned twice in the past few decades.

    Stories like these make me feel better about being over 70.

    At least I won’t be around for the worst of what is coming

      The grandpa part is what worries me. Your children and their children will inherit this problem. You are the generation that has all the time and money and influence now. Maybe fight that shit if you still can.

      I’m 40 and I calm myself down by remembering that my time on earth is temporary, I’m not joking.

      I am terrified for my children’s futures, for the children who aren’t mine, just the same.

      “Glad I won’t be there” how selfish.

          All we got was to have our childhoods scarred by 9/11, watch our friends be ruined by war and to witness social media rise up and destroy every society.

          We did have the Macarena, YTMND and cat memes (back before anyone knew what “meme” meant)…

    Have you guys been to a white wedding? Bland food and the chicken dance. How could these people think they’re the master race?

      Looks like he hasn’t evolved since the Denisovan. Could have a pretty thick skull - suggest hard slapping.

    Part of me says let 'em. I use Trump or Republican paraphernalia as self-identification by people I do not want to interact with. As far as I’m concerned, let them make a whites-only city wherever they want one. These are places that neither I nor my family will go, and a whole bunch of the people I don’t want to interact with in the first place will voluntarily sequester themselves there.

    It seems like a win-win to me.

    Plus, as I said before, it is more than adequate justification for a no-maga, no-Republican community to be built. Yet another win.

      Sundown towns are a bad place to break down on the way to elsewhere. And poison seems to sleep seep out.

      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.
