The Confederation of Dixie

Richmond was the center of power in the Commonwealth of Virginia before the Second Great Depression. Before the politicians of the day took the final steps that herald the ends of empires. They thought their word was law, and they thought they could win if they silenced their opposition once and for all. They thought they could arrest or kill enough of the peons to quell the others. As is often the case with those like them, they did not see the end before it came. It was no grand Hollywood movie about resistance overthrowing the oppressors. It was far more mundane an end. The politicians of Richmond ran out of money, and when they could no longer buy loyalty, those they had bought went elsewhere in search of a paycheck. Richmond survived the chaos that followed, but its influence in the affairs of Virginia did not.

The Second Great Depression saw the Commonwealth of Virginia in desperate times. Richmond had long since been taken over by those far more loyal to Washington D.C. than to Virginia, and they did not take well to any who refused to bend the knee to the Federal government. That is why modern Virginians call it the Second Civil War. But it takes a great deal of money to keep a restive population under control, and the Feds ran out. They could print as much as they wanted to, but the almighty dollar’s buying power decreased to the level of a Third World Banana Republic. Which America had been performing an excellent imitation of in previous years. When the dollar crashed, the economy collapsed, and Richmond lost the ability to enforce Federal will on the many counties far from the capital. It was the beginning of the end for Richmond.

One year ago, the lockdowns began. Months later, the BLM and antifa protests began to fill the streets with their protests against the police and the government in general. We watched government buildings attacked on a nightly basis for months. We watched some of them burn, while barricades surrounded others as explosions lit the street and sky. We watched businesses looted and people shot dead on a nightly basis. We watched entire neighborhoods burned down until many of our cities looked like Third World Countries in the midst of civil wars. Things quieted down when the media declared Biden the winner of the Presidential election. But now they are back at it again, attacking the Federal courthouse in Portland. The more things change, the more they stay the same. One year later, the barricades are back up again.

One year ago, we were told to stop gathering together for any reason. Only essential workers were allowed to go outside the home. Church was banned in many areas. Political rallies in support of the President were shut down in many areas, and called mass spreader events whenever they occurred. And when rally goers were shot dead in the street hours later, the media did not dwell on their well-earned fate. BLM and antifa “Mostly Peaceful Protests” against the police were celebrated as democracy in action though, and Democrat politicians were happy to attend and support them. And when those protests devolved into looting and burning down neighborhoods hours later, the media and politicians declared that it never happened, despite the independent broadcasts showing it in living color. One year later, all know which gatherings the media declares good, and which must be suppressed.

One year ago, we were shutdown. The economic engine that drove America into the best economy of my lifetime went into lockdown and businesses across America began to close for good. If it had just been the “14 Days to Flatten the Curve,” that was originally promised, we would have come out unscathed. But that did not happen. I have watched with horror over the last year as uncaring bureaucrats drunk on the power they held to performed more and more insane crackdowns on average Americans. And the media and the government alike attacked those who dared to protest against it. The sneering contempt they had for anyone who questioned them was palpable. The vitriol they gave to those who refused to bend the knee and obey without question was unmistakable. One year later, I no longer doubt what they think of the Middle Americans.
