All depends on where in the states and who is running the show.

Democrat run states and cities fuck yes. They are dystopian nightmares like San Francisco, or Detroit. Stay the ever living fuck away from them at all costs.

Go to the more red and rural sections of America. We are weathering the economic storms. While retaining our strong sense of community and American values just fine. With no chance of them going away any time soon. That has to do with us being a little self-sufficient, well armed, and less likely to be morally affected by the degradation caused by the mainstream media. We just ignore it and carry on with our daily lives in relative safety from the bullshit.
