If you don't like it, leave

In watching many videos of people melting down over Trump's victory something occurred to me. In these clips these people are screaming, gnashing their teeth, threatening to buy a glock and kill white males, saying they're goin to stop having sex....etc. Made me think back of the day when California passed a law taking pediatricians out of the decision to vaccinate a child with the CDC schedule plus California's additional shots. I knew it was total bullshit. I saw them break laws getting it passed and I was sure I was completely opposed. So...I left. I told a colleague, "I won't live under this kind of government". I didn't even blame others who didn't know anything and loved the Newsome Nazism. Didn't leave mad. Just left. I teach my own kids, in light of many things here including the $35+T in debt, "You don't have to be an American". Given the big, beautiful blue orb we live on I'd gladly find another home before choosing to mow down people I've never met. out of anger. Haha....

    Initially, I thought Alaska but then you said "further east - Wyoming". You must be in Washington. However, that area is blue, no? I would only think of Alaska as being libertarian.

    To a state where I can walk around with a gun on my hip, hike just about wherever I want, and don't have to pay state income tax. After moving here I heard it described as "very Libertarian" and that's a pretty accurate description. Next stop, if needed, might be a little further east - Wyoming.

    "You have no understanding of government."

    I can say the same about you. People who advocate for the existence of the state don't realize that it implies illegitimate use of violence.

    I am open to changing my mind if you can tell me what I am missing.

    US Constitution:

    1. "The Congress shall have Power To lay and collect Taxes, Duties, Imposts and Excises, to pay the Debts"

    2. "To borrow Money on the credit of the United States"

    Logically speaking, if an entity borrows money to pay for what they want but makes another entity pay back the loan by threat of and with violence (without their agreement) then these two have a master/slave relationship. Clearly. Also, freedom is clearly the opposite of slavery.

    Unfortunately, freedom was broken in America since the beginning. I guess people in America are more free than some other places, but they are not 100% free, never have been.
