I probably need to develop some skills if I ever plan to go to Minnesota or Wisconsin and grapple with the angry red voters like Classic Xer over there   As I mentioned before, some missionary work is going to be needed to redeem the Rust Belt for good sense. Better communication skills rather than insults and mere shouting will be needed, I'm sure. But maybe some martial arts skills too; considering some of the folks we might run into like Classic. There's probably no more polarized state in the country than Wisconsin.

Eh, people like Classic are giant pussies, they talk tough but when push comes to shove they'll go run and hide. You have nothing to fear from them.

OK, I'll take that as some reassurance. I don't know if I'm ever actually going to go myself, but I think there will be a real effort along that line by some talented blue folks. 

It's probably our only chance to avoid a break-up or worse in this 4T.

Are you going hire to send in some professionals to intimidate us?

I'm not in charge of any such organization. I assume intimidation will not be the tactic used by whoever volunteers for this "missionary" work to try to rescue people in your states from the Republican pall. I even assume they won't talk like I write to guys like you.

If it goes to civil war or sedition, then I guess other tactics will be used.

I have to admit, a lot of what happens will be out of anyone's hands. It depends on who runs for president, what their horoscope score is (and other such indications), how the president performs in office, and which party is in presidential office from 2025-2029 and thus has command of the armed forces, as well as who controls congress. Who is in charge in many statehouses will also have an impact on how this 4T goes.
