There is Nowhere Left to Run

What does a murdered Iowan girl have to do with the squeezing of our president by the Mueller coup? Plenty.

The major reactions of whites to the new demographics being imposed on them have been either to pretend they enjoy it, or to move. They say white people moving away from cultural enrichment is racist. Maybe it is. But they also say that whites moving into diverse areas is racist too. So you can't really trust what they say. What whites don't do is to dare utter a word against it. Donald Trump, the great firebrand candidate, merely opined that perhaps we enforce the laws already on the books, and try to keep out the criminal elements flowing through our semi-open border. He was lambasted as Satan++. So whites don't complain much, not openly. And they certainly don't take any sort of action. Reagan has been anointed as the perfect conservative. His most significant action, it is said, was to force the Soviets into an arms race that finished off their empire. I think it's true that he finished them off, but that project was dying either way. No, Reagan's lasting impact was to grant amnesty in America's largest state, turning it a deep shade of irreversible blue.

Whites do their best to pretend not to care about their own displacement. So they move to neighborhoods with "good schools." (A school is measured by the quality of the pupils, followed by the quality of the teachers. Everything else is a distant third.) They move to suburbs to get away from crime or noise, or because the kids need a lawn to play in. There are always lots of good excuses for white flight. Birds of a feather flock together. Unless you're white. Then it's racist, so an excuse is found.

All the white flight has a cost. New neighborhoods are built, old ones crumble. In my small city, the bad part is creeping in on the old district with the stunning Victorian houses. The history is just fading away. The whites are moving to the outlying towns. Our neighboring county is the fastest-growing in the state. The typical rush-hour scenario has developed: logjam heading into the city in the morning, and one headed out in the evening. Road works are constantly adding lanes to roads. I object to the expenditures, but have little say in the matter. I loathe the new towns. Cookie cutter houses are designed with great pains taken to disguise how cheaply they are constructed. Neighborhoods come pre-packaged with no chance for organic growth. They are isolated from all amenities. It's assumed people will drive for, well, everything. Even the mail, you see a lot these days. Some subdivisions go up in the middle of nowhere, a field, just a gaggle of houses that are slightly tweaked so that they don't all look identical.

The boom towns hire city planners. I can't figure out if city planning is much harder than it seems, or if they mostly suck at their jobs. Well the first must be true, but I suspect the second is as well. Any planners worth their salt probably gets so frustrated with the various local government boards that they find something more meaningful to do. The towns are just a patchwork of developments. What ever happened to the grid? The 1960s ruined that too, as best as I can tell. Roads are deliberately curved and confusing, with no alleys, so houses are dominated by front-facing garages and trash bins. Usually there's a town core they try to work around, and a highway going through to connect to the city. It the highway has exits then it tends to break the town up into clumps, to where there is not discernible center of mass. If it's a regular highway then the town stays more focused, at least, but everyone going through must run a red-light gauntlet. The highway commercial zones are dominated by big box stores and fast food chains.

The point of all this complaining is that the new neighborhoods & towns are inferior to the old ones, and yet whites can't seem to move to them fast enough. It's quite apparent that they are moving away from, not towards, something. You wonder how long this can last. A couple generations of this and white people will become like gypsies, living in RVs, roaming to whatever bit of green grass they can find. I have friends in the big coastal cities. If they are even a little collapse-mindful, as I am, I ask, what will you do if there's some social breakdown or other calamity? (Everyone should have some sort of apocalypse-prepardeness plan.) Normally they're not worried, because they can always move back to the midwest. Ah, the midwest, the last great white holdout. We keep making the babies and sending about a third to coasts to become communists. [My running joke about Portland is that meeting another Portlander always includes asking each other where they're from... which they tell me is accurate.] Well, what could be more midwest than Iowa? It's like the cash-stuffed banana stand in Arrested Development. "There's always Iowa!"

Except there's not. Iowa is not the magical homeland we can always turn too. No, in Iowa, like San Francisco, your daughter might be murdered by an illegal foreigner that your government government failed to keep out, for lack of will. We suspect that in Iowa the "it wasn't me it was the gun" defense won't hold up, but who knows. There is no homeland. It there's isn't Iowa, there isn't anything. There's nowhere left to run. And you can't retreat your way to victory.

The same goes for Trump. The latest news is bad, people. He may have conspired to skirt some campaign finance laws. It's his own fault. He should have never paid that bimbo off. Absolutely foolish. And he shouldn't have broken laws to do so, if that's what happened. Surely he'd expect this to get exposed. Of course, in the big picture it doesn't matter. We know what the score is. The deep state made up phony dossier, then lied to the FISA court and did every other corrupt thing to get a permanent investigation of the president and all his associates. Well, they might have found something. Who cares that Hillary's campaign finance violations were aired out for the world to see in leaked & stolen documents? Selectively enforced rules are merely tools of tyranny. This isn't just a political witch hunt. It's a coup.

What's that have to do with Iowa? Because, Trump was our hail mary. He was the best thing we could have ever reasonably hoped for, and it is astounding that he was ever elected at all. If Trump can't save us, who can? No one, that's who. We have nowhere left to run. There is no delaying and hoping for a miracle. This was our miracle. We already lost the cities. We're about to lose our ability to compel Washington to act in our interest at all. Forever. I've never been optimistic about post-Trump America, but this is really getting into pre-civil war stuff now. The government overturns an election. That's a coup. The demographics problem isn't merely racial. It's that the leftists take over, for good. If the coup wins, we know we've lost. The leftists are going to come in with an absolute vengeance. They're sure Trump is a dictator. They will consider it open season. Alex Jones getting blacklisted from social media will be nothing. Leftists that take power through coups always turn violent on the citizenry. Find me a counterexample.

Iowans won't be safe from foreigners while Washington controls the borders. The only way for Iowa to keep out the unwanted will be to take over its own border control. Essentially, to declare sovereignty from Washington. Well, that hardly sounds like a great solution. In a real, hot civil war, more than a few Iowan sons & daughters will perish. But even worse might be waiting until you can't win a war to start fighting it. I don't know what will happen and I'm not saying what should happen. I want people to be very aware of what's going on. This is America, and a coup is underway.
