My wife headed out of town so I was on kid duty.
Had to take my youngest to her gymnastics class.
Was standing there watching her like the proud papa I am when another one of the dads noticed my shirt and started up a conversation with me.
Turns out he’s a California refugee who managed to escape.
For 45 minutes he told me about his awakening experience… without any prompting.
I’ve been at this for well over a decade now, folks, and this NEVER happens. NEVER.
People now want the red pills, and we’re here to distribute them. Congratulations, y’all, on making it this far. There are effectual battles to be won, for sure, but we are winning the war!
Ah, I see. Here in east Tennessee we are getting refugees from Chicago; mostly conservatives who no long felt at home in that place.
interesting, and makes me realize I never meet anyone who moves here from big cities. we're surrounded by cattle & corn, they'd probably find it 'boring' here.
Same here.
I grew up with a corn field in my back yard.
Or part of my back yard was a corn field.
Good times.
then you definitely know what I'm talking about especially in the spring and summer, so green and beautiful🌻
I think I want that boring place. We’re don’t live in the city... but want more quiet and less people. Where are you? I’ll add it to my candidate list
We moved to an unincorporated town of less than 300 people.
The whole county has about 12000. It's so nice. So nice.
Can recommend. Look into the Missouri Ozarks. It you can handle the humidity, you can get used to the rest of the region's quirks.
Melting a few weeks a year has been well worth experiencing actual freedom.
Humidity might kill it. We moved from Minnesota (humid) to Colorado (not humid) and my husband’s health has never been better. He used to get bronchitis at least 1x/year.... and now I can’t remember the last time he was sick.
The size of what you’re talking about is exactly what we want.
Missouri is one of those places that I believe is great for homesteading... so I wish it could happen. We aren’t desiring to go full homestead... but some chickens and a garden would be nice. Oh, and a garage big enough for several motorcycles, gun safes, and work benches
I've been looking online at properties in Lake of the Ozarks for about a month now. Very affordable. Very beautiful.
yes, I can understand/could never live around a lot of people. sioux falls is our closest 'big' airport/city over 100,000 (SD has less than a million total population) we're close to the river/Lewis and Clark trail. it's beautiful here, the winters are rough, but think that keeps the spooks away.
watch the short video, lots of pretty scenery, and actually first time I've seen it/made me teary eyed; I love the Missouri River:) https://www.nps.gov/mnrr/index.htm
I said same thing about Minnesota... the cold keeps the riff-raff out! Now that I’ve moved to Colorado where I still get the seasons but it is so much more mild.... I realized I am the riff-raff!!
Forgot to mention. Gorgeous video. That is how I grew up, and those are my people. Blaze orange jackets at church on Sunday ❤️
Well as a hillbilly from Kentucky i find anything flat boring. But thats not a bad thing.
Before I realized I was a “conservative” I always dreamed of living in fields surrounded by no one. I enjoy socializing with people but I always wanted the peace and quiet of rural life. It never sounded boring to me even though I grew up in big cities with all the bells and whistles. I wonder if that’s a characteristic trait of conservatives.
Central NC here and we are getting them MI and NY mostly. I've met a few from DC region to. Everyone is right of center to hard right.
I live in MI myself, and moved to near the MI/IN border two years ago, to escape a blue city. It’s very rural and very conservative where I live, although I have to drive to the Kalamazoo leftist shithole to go to work every day. Most of the people I encounter and subtly attempt to redpill are essentially just exhausted from all of the shenanigans, and I reassure them that they’re just watching a scripted movie playing out. I tell them that when the SHTF to not be scared, and that everything will be glorious when it all plays out. I also reinforce the political moves that are taking place and urge them to vote based on America First, not useless wedge issues. It always seems to give them hope and hopefully causes them to do their own investigations into what I’m telling them.
As a side note, I have a license plate frame with NCSWIC and WWG1WGA printed on it, and I get the occasional headlight flash by someone behind me. I always give them an air-Q and a thumbs up 😀
Way cool.
North AL, S. TN we are getting refugees by the day. In this area are lots of engineers and scientists coming from wacky liberal states. Most are red pulled but there’s a more than I’d like to see arriving still claiming how backwards we are. HA, but your here, in backwards -ville because your state sucked.
It's one of the last kinds of bigotry that is tolerated these days, looking down on southerners because of our accent or our slower pace in doing things. Tell the they're being bigots and see their reaction. People who wouldn't dare use the "N" word feel free to sneer at us because we don't speak or hasten everywhere like they do. Because they're bigots.
Remind them that some of America's greatest leaders, writers, and inventors were people of the South.
P.S. Also remind them that it was Southerners who created the very states they so desperately wanted to move to. Our favorable tax laws, infrastructure, schools, and institutions were NOT built by people where THEY came from, but by the very people they want to criticize.... for not being like the people they escaped from.
We are looking to move and retire to TN but eastern side. Any thoughts?
Plenty. Of course it depends on what you're looking for. Never move TO any city, the cities everywhere will be chaotic in coming months. But look for red counties to move to. West Knox County is red, and the deeper west you go, the more affluent the neighborhoods get.... and peaceful and quiet. I know that neighboring counties have good quality of life, such as Blount Co., Loudon Co., Sevier Co., and Anderson Co. A small-ish city nearby is Oak Ridge, TN, the "secret city" that helped build the A-bomb in WWII, but is now a small southern town that is quite livable. If you're looking for large wooded acreage, that is also still available in east Tennessee; but the cost will be inversely proportional to the proximity of a large urban areas. The closer you choose to a city (Knoxville, Chattanooga, Johnson City) the greater the price of land.... and the further away, will be less expensive. I have relatives living some distance from Kingston TN, but up on a mountain with a gravel road, where they have a very nice log cabin that is fairly remote, and they love it there.
Good luck. If you get serious about moving here, at least in the Knox County area, I know two VERY good real estate agents who can help you.
Thank you we are seriously checking it out this February or March. I was originally looking into Florida but my husband doesn't want to do that. Someone mentioned Tennessee is very cheap to retire to and I've never been there and don't know much and I could use any bit of help to give me of areas that are cheaper to live I don't want to be by a city but I want to be close enough to get to the things that I need any help is greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Sounds like the outer edges of Knox County is just what you're looking for. Quiet neighborhoods, we have all the amenities one could hope for. All the national food and home goods outlets -- Kroger, Publix, Food City, Home Depot, Lowe's, pizza chains and some very nice specialty restaurants. Chinese, Thai, Italian and home cooked blue-plate-special kinds of restaurants. We have a decent symphony orchestra and the Univ. of Tennessee has an excellent theater department that puts on all manner of theatrical productions.
The Knoxville area also has some of the best medical practitioners in the country; people from all around the region (eastern Kentucky, North Carolina, and across the state) come here for medical treatments. From Google:
Does Knoxville have good medical care? The US Census Bureau estimates there are 407 physicians for every 100,000 residents in the Knoxville, Tennessee area – twice the national average of 261 physicians per 100,000 people.
Utilities cost less here because of the TVA, and gas prices regularly run less than the national average.
And we have frequent gun shows that are always well attended. Tennessee has not state income tax and never will. Tennessee also became a Constitutional Carry state recently. Nearly everyone I know carries, and I like it that way.
I have traveled widely in Europe and the UK, and when I was in the USMC I got to see a lot of the world I might not have seen otherwise, mostly Central and South America. But east Tennessee is my home and I would never live anywhere else.
I would ask only one thing if you all move here. Don't ever vote for any Democrat in any future election. Thanks.
If you would like me to put you in touch with the real estate folks I mentioned, PM me directly.
I hope to be buying property in East Tennessee soon. I can't wait to leave the peoples republic where I live.
My Wife and I are Christians and very conservative. It's horrible living here and walking on eggshells. We constantly have to be very careful what we say in public.
Well I don't know where you're moving from, but East Tennessee has a broad range of differing demographics and we do have our liberal enclaves here (UT campus, etc.) but we somehow coexist. The extremely few "demonstrations" and protests I have seen over the years from the Left are usually poorly attended, made up of limp wristed soy boys and girls, and they then take their posters and awareness ribbons and go home. No riots here, we don't stand for that stuff.
I can pretty much say what I think without causing a disturbance. I play music with some liberal acquaintances, but they know where I stand on issues; it isn't a problem.
Another example: Probably caused by some transient homeless person who had come from a more "tolerant" state, they set up a camp of tents, shelters, and lean-to's on a major road in west Knox county, a couple of blocks from the interstate, I-40 / 75. They were there one day and into the night (one freak even put his tent right on the sidewalk up to the curb!!). The police moved in and by the next day THEY WERE GONE.... just plain gone. And by the next day all the debris and clutter they left was gone too. We simply don't tolerate LA or Portland type of homeless camps here.
There is a strong Christian community here and several good non-woke churches, both large and small. Good luck to you.
We're thinking of the Johnson City area because of the VA hospital there. I'm a retired veteran. I have an old friend from 4th grade (more like a brother, also a veteran) who lives in South Carolina. He vacations often in Tennessee. We want to build our retirement homes next to each other. He has a realtor working on properties for us.
As far as homeless go, all you need to do is tell them drugs are legal in Oregon, and welfare benefits for drug addicts are plentiful. Buy them a bus ticket to Portland and you're rid of them.
Heh! Well so far, just plain old good police work keeps them at bay.
Good luck, I think you'll find the Johnson City area quite nice....gentle rolling hills, lots of farmland. I went to the VA hospital many years ago (also a veteran) and they served me well.
You WILL NOT have that problem in East OR West Tennessee. Maybe around some of the commy enclaves in Nashville and Memphis but 99% of the state are your people. Kentucky is the same.
I forgot to thank you Fren. We will miss the scenic beauty of the only State both of us have lived in. It literally is becoming Soddom and Gemorrah here. It is no longer a place for Christians to live. We hope to make great new friendships with like minded people soon.
You will be shocked at the culture change. People open doors, and hold doors open for each other when your ‘out and about’. I probably say ‘hello’ or at least give a friendly smile to complete strangers 10-15 times a day. We wave to each other as we pass on the road in my neighborhood … everyone, whether you know them or not. Folks stop and help if you get a flat tire. Every 3d home has a US flag flying. Thats pretty much 95% of the southern red states.
