\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>So, I\u2019ll skip over to the far-left edge of what might happen after the revolution.\u00a0 What if the revolution is their revolution?\u00a0 Meaning, what if the Left wins completely.\u00a0 Well, this is even simpler.\u00a0 According to the game plan we\u2019re already following the feds will enforce California-like policies everywhere and all the time.\u00a0 Fossil fuels will disappear from everyone\u2019s lives (except for the elites) and normalcy will be totally outlawed in all areas of life.\u00a0 Third world immigrants will be planted in every corner of the nation and we\u2019ll resemble South Africa in almost every way.\u00a0 Of course, such a place will collapse because of dysfunction eventually, but enough time will elapse before a collapse, so that none of us or our children will ever see anything approaching a livable environment.<\/p>\n<p>Well, I\u2019m sure you know that\u2019s not the option I\u2019m hoping for.<\/p>\n<p>And finally, we reach my revolution.\u00a0 And it\u2019s one that has some evidence on the ground.\u00a0 I point to what Governor Abbott is trying to do in Texas.\u00a0 This revolution consists of the red states pushing back against the unconstitutional policies of the federal government and protecting their citizens from the consequences.\u00a0 Whether it\u2019s illegal aliens or lunatic energy policies based on \u201cclimate,\u201d attacks on constitutional rights or federally sponsored rioting by Antifa and BLM; the individual governors and governments of the red states and hopefully a coalition of these states will adopt policies and strategies to nullify the dysfunction being levied against them.<\/p>\n<p>And the eventual outcome of this movement might be the most positive end case of all.\u00a0 As we\u2019re seeing with the blue cities suffering under the illegal immigration floods, these blue states begin to understand how disastrous these altruistic sounding policies they\u2019ve signed up for turn out to be in the real world.\u00a0 Imagine for a minute what it would be like if the red and blue states were allowed to diverge down different paths on something like climate energy polices.\u00a0 Imagine Blue America has been purged of fossil fuels and Red America hasn\u2019t.\u00a0 Someone going from Minnesota to, let us say, South Dakota would see his neighbors enjoying a warm home heated by oil or gas, a car that can drive an unlimited distance with refuels that take just a couple of minutes cheap goods due to low transportation costs and delicious meals of red meat from carbon dioxide emitting cattle.\u00a0 Whereas he eats a cricket burrito while sitting at a frozen electrical charging station waiting for hours for his battery car to charge enough for the next hundred miles of his journey to his home where he\u2019ll wrap himself in layers to survive the environmentally friendly temperature setpoint of fifty-five degrees Fahrenheit.\u00a0 Now how long do you think those good progressives will endure this while living side by side with their neighboring red state Americans laughing at them?\u00a0 Exactly, they\u2019ll go berserk and demand their governors adopt the same policies.<\/p>\n<p>Now this could also drive the feds to wage actual war on the red states claiming that climate disaster forced them into it.\u00a0 But let\u2019s assume this revolution goes our way.\u00a0 So, what I see is that having a Red America and Blue America side by side might just be the way to win over the Blues.\u00a0 With all of the awful policies of the Left, having a counterexample to observe in close proximity should be an effective lure to convince them just how stupid they really are.<\/p>\n<p>But even if it doesn\u2019t it would be like North and South Korea.\u00a0 On one side of the border, poverty and insanity.\u00a0 On the other prosperity and normalcy.\u00a0 So, after my revolution we would have the two Americas still formally one country but with completely different lifestyles and cultures.\u00a0 And to my mind over time the various blue states would begin to slowly migrate into the red model.<\/p>\n<p>The biggest question I have is how much violence and disruption would there be?\u00a0 How will the federal government react to nullification?\u00a0 Potentially it could be a war.\u00a0 But more likely the feds would use intimidation and gestapo tactics to try and break the leadership of the red states.\u00a0 The crux of it is whether there are strong enough local leaders to overcome the federal intimidation.\u00a0 I guess I\u2019m still slightly hopeful that this could be done in the immediate future.<\/p>\n<p>So, that is my roundup of the various scenarios for \u201cafter the revolution.\u201d\u00a0 It\u2019s a bizarre range of things.\u00a0 I left out the option where there is no revolution and we just continue under the same stalemate we currently endure.\u00a0 I couldn\u2019t see defining the null case as a revolution.<\/p>\n<p>So, what do you think?\u00a0 Do you disagree?\u00a0 Did I leave out another version?\u00a0 Did I get one of the scenarios wrong in some important detail.\u00a0 Please leave your thoughts in the comments.\u00a0 And enjoy the revolution comrades!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>So, I\u2019ll skip over to the
