At our current rate its looking like it might be easier just to start a new country. Let the Redhats take theirs and we'll build some place sensible.

Honestly it's not a bad idea. Playboy Magazine did that with Vermont in the 70s, just recommended that all the sensible people who were alarmed and disgusted with the Nixon stuff all move to the same state and try to take it over, and to this day, Vermont is kind of a nice place to live because enough sensible people moved there to have a big influence.

I vote for New Zealand. IDK how the locals would feel about a whole bunch of smelly Americans all migrating there at the same time but if they let us in, it definitely looks like a pretty sweet location.

NZ is currently under a right-wing government, and is extremely unaffordable to live that many young people are leaving to Australia, which itself is unaffordable to live.

Get a bunch of mobile homes and move to where distrcicts are gerrymandered the most and flip 'em.

That's where Thiel and zuck and a bunch of other people with their ideals have bought islands and built bunkers.

Even better, we can come in disguised as prostitutes and then take over their bunker.

Better go armed, then. I wouldn't be surprise if they have armed drones, but I can be wrong.
