Secession

Recently, on the Tucker Carlson show, Jason Whitlock called for conservative secession from the greater United States. His justification was that the Left in the United States has strayed so far from the “truth” that they cannot be led back or expected to find their way back.

I assume Whitlock meant something comparable to the secession suggested in the map created by Kurt Schlichter for his Kelly Turnbull series.

Others I have spoken with suggest only a sort of ambiguous economic secession where those on the right stop supporting businesses and organizations that advance Leftist causes.

Neither of these will work.

If conservatives in the United States attempt physical secession, the Left will resist. Physical secession will lead to military conflict and a weakened United States. While the United States is weakened, China and Russia will divide up the world and ultimately move into North America.

Economic secession will not matter. Every tit from the right will be met with a tat from the Left. Ultimately Leftist businesses and Leftist politicians will receive the same amount of revenue resulting in no net ability to influence voter attitudes. The same stupid people will support the same stupid policies until it is too late change.

The Saurian Plan

There is an alternative. Conservatives in the United States should do essentially what the government of China did in 1949. They should set up a new republic “offshore”. However, instead of moving across the ocean to a large island, they should move out to the final frontier and establish colonies in space.

At present, this may seem like an impossible ambition. However, as the time of dissolution approaches, it will become too obvious to ignore. Artificial intelligence is advancing at such a rate that it will soon be possible to set up AI guided, in situ manufacturing in space.

It will be possible to manufacture rockets in space of the type Elon Musk is perfecting from materials mined from asteroids. By 2030, because of exponential growth, these rockets should be so abundant that they can be used to evacuate everyone who wants to leave.

Simultaneously, giant wheel stations can be built in space. The growth of these stations will follow the same exponential curve as the rockets.

Elon Musk and Florida are on the side of conservatives. This is the perfect recipe for evacuation. SpaceX and associates can establish infrastructure in space while conservatives make their way to Florida and evacuate.

Florida is an established spaceport. Rockets can take people away from Florida at existing and later developed locations operating around the clock. It should be possible for everyone that wants to evacuate to leave over a period of a couple of years. People can leave while extraterrestrial infrastructure is built up.

While this plan is taking form and executed, conservatives should resist the Left as much as possible by voting for conservative politicians and attempting to enact conservative laws. They should be able to continue supporting conservative policies with “mail-in” balloting even when they have left the planet.

As Jason Whitlock observes, the population of the United States is too far from the truth. Like the doomed cities of Sodom and Gomorrah, the fate of United States is sealed.

Soon after conservatives leave, China will sweep in and enslave the remaining people.

However, by that time, conservatives will be established in space and ready to separate politically.

The centrally planned, morally bankrupt economies of earth will stagnate and possibly collapse. By that time human civilization will be well established in space and spreading across the solar system.

Eventually, conservatives can return to Earth to pick up the pieces and reestablish civility.
