You can view the comments back at the post. But I’ll give a few general impressions I gleaned from reading the comments. First off, there are an awful lot of good people left in this country and there are lots of places where people are breathing air that’s a lot freer than what I breath here in the gulag. Just reading how the armed citizenry of Idaho repulsed the Antifa scum trying to invade from Spokane Washington was absolutely inspiring. And I found out there are other places that weren’t on my “list” that are also free. Places like South Dakota and West Virginia should have been, but even purple states like Missouri, Florida and Nevada have vast areas where life is still free. And I learned that even if Texas has some enormous cities full of progressives there are millions of red-blooded conservatives there. And finally I must say that Wyoming may have one of the smallest populations among the fifty states it had the second highest vote count in the poll.
I’ll have much more to say about the results but I wanted to put out a quick update and say thanks to all the great folks who responded so enthusiastically. You certainly gave me a lot to think about.
