So, economically and socially successful countries like, the Netherlands, Sweden, Germany, Denmark, France, Switzerland, Singapore, Australia, New Zealand, etc are all "communist" countries, right?
Small government is allegedly still at part of the Republican platform at the state level. For a small government party, they sure do like to dictate what's going on in people's bedrooms.
I know it's not your question, but we probably don't have to give up either one. Just do a lot less of it. It's a lot easier to convince people to do less or seek viable alternatives than to give it up.
There's also a good chance that both will become greener with better, greener tech.
Unfortunately, if everyone who disagrees moved out, it would just leave the state and its electoral votes to these baboons. Florida is more purple than red. There's actually a good chance to turn this around if people remember to vote.
