(24,853 posts)don't want to move to. I say this because there is a huge logistical consideration in doing so. So huge as to make it impossible in the eyes of ANY planner with half a brain.
First of all, a splintering of the US means a splintering of its troops. So your military support goes from 2-3 million to MAYBE 1 million and probably LESS. Let's NOT forget that the military is comprised of (to hear DUers put it) those less intelligent and less educated. In other words, they comprise part of the group you want to move behind the fence. Would you expect them to support the order of "Okay troops! We're gonna go round up the rednecks! We're gonna put them behind fences and separate them so they can't fuck with our plans to build a better society! Let's GOOOOOOO!!!!!"
Secondly, there are between 19,000 and 25,000 cities in the US depending on how you count. There aren't enough military vehicles to make it possible to sift the "good" from the "bad", and transport the "bad" to the place of your choosing.
"We (who do you include in your group? Who do you exclude?) can move all the neocons and plutocrat minions to their hellholes".
That's just fucking elitist talk and I would rather be in the group you were TRYING to move than in the group you would leave behind because they marched the goosestep march of everyone who agreed with you.
This short post is the BEST argument for the Second Amendment that I've seen yet.
