They must’ve gotten lost on their way to Oregon.
But the underlying finances of land offerings associated with the “Highland Rim Project” (HRP) in Kentucky suggest that buyers will pay a steep premium for living in a remote ideological enclave, while the scheme’s promoters are set to collect tidy profits after making few apparent improvements to the land.
It's ALWAYS a grift lmao
A fool and his money…
Sun Tzu: "Never interrupt your opponent while he is in the middle of making a mistake."
I've been saying for a while that they need their own specially reserved land out in the middle of nowhere, with its own rules that the US government can have a treaty for. I feel like there's a word for that but for the life of me I can't remember it.
Florida?
Like a camp or compound of some sort? /s
Maybe it could be set asided or reserved for them?
Idaho. And build a wall. For us.
I think they're just going to call it "Kentucky"
Pensabamatucky.
I mean, conservatives are trying to turn the entire nation into Conservatopia. If they can all be coralled into little racist towns instead of being allowed to walk amongst the normal people, I'm all for it.
Maybe put walls around it and make them wear little symbols so good people know what they're looking at /s
Make them? Slap a $3.99 sticker on it and they'll line up around the block to purchase their little symbols.
Seriously. Of all the things I associate with conservatives, normal isn't one of them amirite??
Bring back segregation!
Wait no not like that!
Please build a wall, and don't bother with gates or bridges.
Build a dome and don't bother with ventilation.
Oh that's even better, love it.
We will need some catapults too. We’ll need to make sure we can get people in, after all
Maybe they should take a name from the Bible for their haven. Maybe Gilead?
Yes.. We'll call it "just exactly what Kentucky is today, but also you give me double the typical cost to live here because you've self identified as a moron by being interested in my project".
Invite Alex Jones to be your leader. Name the town after him and then wait for history to circle back around...
Jonestown 2, the electric kool-aid Boogaloo?
The sequel we'd all be hoping for.
"Alex...Alex...we all have to drink this Kool-Aid or this inner city rec center is gonna be destroyed!"
we all have to drink this Kool-Aid or this inner city rec center is gonna ~~be destroyed!~~ turn the frogs gay.
You gotta understand your audience.
If you had a ton of money, this seems like a great way to make more. Buy a bunch of land, sell it at a premium to the "right" people, profit, and then leave.
Bonus: you've just concentrated a bunch of rich assholes into one known, ideally remote, location.
From what I have seen while driving through, Kentucky is naturally beautiful. I wish it was someone other than the worst people in the country trying to settle in there.
Just put a high fence around it with the razor wire on the inside, and be done with it.
Are they gonna call it "Northern Florida"?
Didn't they already do something similar with the state of Kansas. How did that work out? Oh yeah, they drove that state into the ground.
Anyone else remember when the lolitarians tried this and they got attacked by bears?
Like a Village with a no flyovers??
"Abbotoy offered few details on how the community would be run beyond saying: 'Most of the leadership is going to be led by Protestant christians.'"
The leadership is being led by someone else. Got it.
If they stay there and leave the minorities alone then I would support it.
Shouldn't everyone be celebrating this? Take all the 'undesirables' and plunk them in the middle of nowhere. Then, when they fail, they'll have to REALLY do some gymnastics to blame the left.
Meh. Mental gymnastics and blaming the Left are basic requirements.
Something you need to understand.
it will always be the lefts fault.
except when its a RINO's fault.
It will never be their fault.
