    My local democratic party texted me to ask me to consider running for office (I live in a very deep red state). I laugh at the idea, because I’m pretty sure that they don’t want a pro-2A anarchist and Satanist running under their name. My wife nixed the idea because she doesn’t want us to get firebombed.

    You should run dude. I’m dead ass serious. You can win rural districts where dickless corporate bootlicking democrats can’t.

    Here’s the secret code: Don’t run as a Democrat. Run as an independent.

      Grass roots too. All you need is name recognition and no one, I mean no one, will know what you are actually like.

      Believe me, that does not work here. This is a Republican area. The winner of the Republican primary is the winner of the general election in the county I live in. It is very much Good Ol’ Boy as well; you aren’t getting any support from the machine unless you’ve been kissing their ass for years.
