I know a lot of people who are having trouble handling the way things are going. The left has engaged in sustained, random, low-intensity violence on a national level. People feel they need to prepare, but they can't retaliate, and that constant edgy readiness is already wearing people down while the left continues to randomly burn and loot with impunity.
Do people have some ideas on how to handle that constant background noise without getting worn down and losing before the fight even begins? I've been able to compartmentalize and just wait to do the job that's in front of me, but not everyone can do that.
Well the places I go know me well enough to know I don't glow in the dark. Apparently that's an issue nowadays. They aren't so accommodating to people they don't know. Mask compliance is still extremely high, and usually I'm the only person at any given time anywhere I go that isn't wearing one.
The only place where I was flat-out denied service for not wearing one was a gas station in eastern Montana.
Well, then you're probably going to want to steer clear of the midwest.
Contrarianism for its own sake doesn't exactly fly out here.
In the german-ancestry areas, you're gonna find BUSINESS compliance and enforcement of INDOOR restrictions is almost total, while outdoor enforcement and compliance is almost non-existent.
The midwest is too dry for my tastes, so it's already excluded from consideration.
And while I don't consider myself "contrarian for my own sake", I also don't consider myself "conformant by default".
