    "Freedom" is my bugbear.

    I watched half of this very creepy video yesterday - Inside the American Redoubt: Trump voters building a new state | Times Documentaries - YouTube. Half was all I could stomach.

    One guy in particular was unbearable. He must have literally said "freedom" every ~20 seconds on average.

    American Redoubt

    The American Redoubt is a political migration movement first proposed in 2011 by survivalist novelist and blogger James Wesley Rawles which designates Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming along with parts of Oregon and Washington, as a safe haven for conservative Christians. Rawles chose this area due to its low population density and lack of natural hazards.

      I think the only English-speaking politician to use the word 'freedom' in good faith in my lifetime might be Nelson Mandela.

      Rawles chose this area due to its [...] lack of natural hazards.

      Be a shame if Yellowstone erupted on a day with strong easterly winds

        I don't think wind direction would matter when they're sitting right on top of it, about a quarter of the lower 48 would just get fucked
