I know the paranoid Bananarepublicans think everyone is out to get them.
Actually, I just want to empower them. Let them create their own Jesusland, with its own way of life, in the flyover country at the heart of America.
In Jesusland, people can live the Bananarepublican way. Get rid of the New Deal. No more commie ideas. To hell with the common good. No wealth transfers. No bailouts. Abolish income taxes. No socialist healthcare. Everyone open carries a gun or two and joins a militia. No abortions. Lots of coal and gasoline. No wind farms or solar panels. Trickle down economics. Let the market decide, especially during panics. No pollution limits. No public transport (trains are socialist). Privatise roads. Cars are all pickup trucks with gun racks and flags and are all made in Jesusland. No imports. Gold standard. Anyone can create their own currency. White man's burden. Foreigners not welcome. Zero immigration. Everything with cheese. No vegetables. Choice of fats. Freedom fries. Border wall. Throw out the experts. Commercialise education (Trump U and Liberty!). Liberty or death. No liberals. Freedom of religion, so long as it's Christian. Expel atheists. Services at Easter and Christmas during pandemics. Chloroquine medicines and disinfectant injections. Encourage creationism. Prepare for the Rapture. Trash science which is the work of the devil. Fox News is truth.
It really will be an exceptional country. Jesusland first!
It just isn't how many coastal Americans wish to live. So let the different Americas go where they are headed.
