| #9 I also live in Ohio. My Congressman is pretty useless. He likes lighthouses and is a tool of the cannabis lobby. He is a Republican. I don’t think he is Deep State unless they have a light house strategy that I am unaware of. Unlike Gonzalez, he seems to vote ok. I expect that he fears that either MTG or Boebert will knock him unconscious in the cloak room if he double crosses us. As for them coming for us, in Portage County that would look like Fallujah. |

| #8 Where are you going to flee when they come for you in the suburbs? Me? I live in a Republican safe district in Ohio, a state that gets redder with every election, My congressman is a former Army Ranger captain who went green to gold via West Point, then retired to take over — and grow — his family tool manufacturing business before going into politics. He recently joined the board of West Point, which must be an interesting experience for all concerned. Nothing is going to happen here. And if worst does indeed come to worst, I have my grandmother’s war memoir and my mother’s stories describing their time in hiding from — and fighting against — the Nazis in the Netherlands. |

| #5 A hundred years ago most people in America lived in towns, villages and the rural areas, not major cities. You have to understand the factors that drove urbanization in the first half of the 20th Century to understand why it no longer works that way now. |

| #4 America had the same space and only 120 million people and got along just fine. Now? We're at 330 million and climbing like a rocket. We already fled the cities due to them. Where are you going to flee when they come for you in the suburbs? Obama already tried to destroy single family housing. You think you're going to be safe? You're whistling past the graveyard. |

| #2 We're overcrowded anyway. In America, only the big, Democratic-controlled cities are overcrowded. The rest of the country is comfortably spread out in suburbs, small town, and countryside. |

| #1 We're overcrowded anyway. The only ones who lose out from a smaller growth rate are those who are already stupendously wealthy. Look at how outraged they are that they can't pay desperate poor people $8/hour any more and have to pay fairly for workers. |
