The marxist system of the left is in full collapse, the signs of it are everywhere. Wife and I live in the FREE state of Arkansas, having moved here from the FREE state of Iowa after I retired early. The area where we live is comprised of 18% Veterans, a huge number being from the Vietnam years. This in an incredible amount for such an isolated locale. I feel very at home here with my ex military brothers and sisters, and very secure in knowing that any group threatening our way of life will have to face such a skilled group of citizens who swore, and live by the oath I also took.
Our Gov, Sarah Huckabee Sanders is hell on wheels with wings. She has the few liberals here either on the run or isolated to the bigger cities like Little Rock and Pine Bluff. Most of their crime comes from hoodrats battling each other. We live 60 miles to the nearest big city, thru two lane roads thru the mountains. Walmart is the center pretty much everything here one needs yet we have an abundance of smaller stores that provide anything a person could want or need. Hell, we only have 3 stoplights!
The scenery is spectacular as are the hunting and fishing. The cost of living is incredibly low. What we sold our house for in Iowa, we bought and totally remodeled a fantastic 4500 sq ft home on 5 acres of land butted up against thousands of acres of forest. Our nearest neighbor is 500 yards away thru the trees. I have my own shooting range.
We have a well for water, backup generator, and provisions to carry us thru in case of storm or anything else that comes along. Compared to Iowa, the cost of living is incredibly low. Our property taxes are 1/5th what they were in Iowa. Everything we have, the 3 cars, bass boat, and home are totally paid for. It costs us very little to live each month, a fraction of what it used to, and we live much better in every way.
I tell you this to make a point. By retiring early, I gave up 5 years of my highest income earning years, because I don't like where all this is leading. If you are convinced you are trapped economically, then I don't think you are looking at all the alternatives available across America. The next election, if it even comes off, will only unleash holy hell as these people are NOT going to just fade away. Prepare yourselves, and I sincerely wish those of you trapped in these communist zones, the very best of luck.
