the whacko extremists it draws to ND. No longer Christian patriot survivalists, but trumpist patriots.

Unfortunately for them, some trumpists we know didn't hear ND's call before retiring to a gated community in central FL. They're under the mistaken notion that FL's far more conservative than the conservative area of eastern California they fled as intolerably liberal (a prison town!). They'll get a hard lesson when they meet a few more people or voters kick this governor out and maybe answer your governor's call after all. Two middle-aged gay guys, one Hispanic. Go figure.

i remember a BIG problem with White power people trying to purchase housing in some little towns, DIRT CHEAP, BUT at that time they were run out of town! Now i really believe they could return, and be WELCOMED!! Fucking mentality is unreal.

settles near you.

You remind me of the Asatru church of white supremacists that established one of its churches in a tiny Minnesota town, just a couple hundred people. Some of them proselytize heavily among ex-convicts and bring them to towns like this. What I remember is that the town realized it didn't have the monetary means and reliable legal case to fight to keep this group out.

One of the things I really appreciate about my former home town, Los Angeles, is that hundreds of groups of crazies exist in cities like that without ruining them for everyone else.

former guy supporting landlord is preparing to sell my housing, I am even more certain that I will probably be evacuating to a blue state for a change. I've been fighting these assholes for the last thirty years and I'm done. Fifteen years in Idaho and eighteen in Montana, I just can't anymore.

It's not looking like I can stay on this side of the Mississippi watershed. Maybe New England, I have to do some research first.
