um i'm only gonna say this once and it is not up for any discussion whatsoever but if you have had any worries at all about peg and me being in a "red state" kindly stop immediately because it only shows you don't have any comprehension of what new orleans is actually like nor how many people they'd have to get through -- like our own neighbors -- to get to us

if you wanna worry about our ability to marry that's absolutely fine, we are on track to expedite that if possible -- that is a legitimate fear but i am pretty damn sure we aren't gonna have to stockpile weaponry to fight off the people living down the street k thx bai

nobody's done this but given some of the extremely broad and flat characterizations of red states i've been reading in the past week i'm pretty sure at least one of you adorable doofs were thinking it

we're fine thanks -- tbh i have a sneaking suspicion that in the event of a 2nd Civil War we'd end up some kind of crazy Free State. every damn person in this city has been itching to tell baton rouge to go fuck themselves and keep our tourist dollars for ourselves anyhow -- we'll just be doing it as the Free Pirate Port we were always destined to be ;D

Even better, you're situated to be robber barons. Just make sure to put a castle on the Mississippi, and tollbooth it up like a pointless Rhine noble.

@001zlnv @zebratron2084 Wait, wait, this is a really good plan.

@Austin_Dern @001zlnv I wonder how much media chaos I could foment by bringing this up "seriously" at a city council meeting, dressed in full highwayman regalia.
