Sometimes collapse must happen so we can start anew. Just begs the question, who will br left to rebuild? Characters like Mao, Lenin, or Hitler who seize power through fear and desperation? Or students of law, philosophy, and history who sift through the ashes to avoid the same mistakes made before? Whatever the case in America, mankind proves themselves unable to govern without a supreme guiding principle, for when we refashion ideas of law and justice in our own minds, its becomes corrupted, cancerous to self-destruction.

The Constitution and Bill of Rights are a great starting point, and a great end point. It's all of the attorneys in between.

I cannot leave Washington state… I was born here. I am fighting to save it. How? I have added my name to the city council ballot.

Fantastic! Please let me know if there is anything I can do to help support your campaign. I'm still well connected to people in the Bothell area.

Thanks! I do not think I will have an issue. People like me here and I am the only one who actually shows up for the city council meeetings on a regular basis but I do not go there to complain about stuff. Small town, doing their best.

Good luck. Washington State needs to turn around soon or forget ever being normal again. That radical left activities will be the end of the larger cities survival.

Originally born and raised in Washington but left for education and work reasons in the late 1980s. Fighting the blue insanity in my new home state. My kids and grandkids are all with us so we’re not running. We’re in for the fight. Situations differ so each must make their own decision. No judgement there. The fight can also be fought in so called red states which often are urban blue and are only red by a hair. Best of luck to you!

Should we stay to help rebuild? Or should we go? I think we’ll stay for now but prepare to go.

I worked in Olympia representing an association of mostly non-union construction contractors/small businesses/ employers for 40 years. It is so much worse now. There is no fixing it unless you could divide into two states. The west side is just too numerous to counteract the farmers, orchardists and ranchers, as well as other “normal” people on the east side. Learn to live with it as it is, if not worse, or move. I keep thinking if it gets bad enough voters will figure it out and vote different people into office. Hasn’t so far…..

The volume of people in the Puget Sound region and their vastly different view of how things should be...it's been crazy to watch them on some social platforms wanting more "progressive" taxes than what the democrats pushed through. It's like entire generations of Marxist indoctrinated people have all consumed the area.

Just please don't bring any libtards voting ideas to our red states. It's a contagious disease that causes mental illness that is as bad as a opiate addiction

“Moving wasn’t just about escaping a blue state—it was about finding a place where I could fight for conservative values with purpose.”

New York State has fallen off the left cliff. The Politicritters just haven't realized most residents consider the government is a circus.

Which region? I'm in the Treasure Valley. I can give you tips here if you are headed south

There's some strong conservatives up north but also a lot of libs and RINO types.

Yeah the establishment candidates is a real thing. The Republican party here in Idaho is a mix of those types and individuals who are less controlled/controllable. We have some strong conservative groups like Idaho Freedom Foundation, Citizens Alliance of Idaho, and Stop Idaho RINOs. FYI I'm from California. And I get you.
