The Confederation of Dixie

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.

One year ago, my place of business was humming along nicely. I work in the hospitality industry, and we were doing well most nights. Then, came the national emergency due to the Covid 19 outbreak. We locked down for 14 days, which became a month, and then two months and then three. Some States still haven’t left lockdown. Some States never did a lockdown at all. But the no matter where you are, the media has been united in their constant reminders that “Lockdowns Save Lives,” that “Masks Save Lives,” and that we must all “Follow the Science” as told by far more knowledgeable, government or media approved, minds. Travel of any kind had to end. Gatherings for any reason had to be stopped. Even medical treatments were not allowed. One year later, I’m doing my company’s economic books, and looking at the cliff we hit a year ago. Right now. Right here. It all started today.
