Yeah I won't deny our general weirdness. To be as tacky as possible, it's the YOLO for country folks.

It wouldn't be the south seceding when Republicans control the house and Senate.

I have great respect for the government but if they infringed on my rights and stepped onto my land unwelcome then there would be a conflict.

Never flown one in my life. You're just sheltered and mislead.

Edit: for anyone looking to understand the general Southerners views on government oversight: read gorsuch's latest statement on the bill of rights.
