It’s not even a complicated strategy for them, just endure long enough for our political class to grow weak. There’s a 100% chance our politicians will live up to that expectation.
Since we’ll screw it up, it’s probably time to consider other options like getting out of the area.
Unfortunately "leave them alone and they will leave us along" doesn't work either.
I fully get why we don't want to spend lives and blood for years only to leave it no better than we found it but something has got to give.
It's hard to be a ACLU hating, philosophically Libertarian, socially liberal, fiscally conservative, scientifically grounded, agnostic, porn admiring gun owner who believes in self determination.
Chuck, we miss ya man.
