"Yes, Empress, but will YOU be okay?"
I know that's the first and foremost question on a lot of your minds. 😺
Seriously, though, I am not afraid. Louisana is a shithole culturally speaking, but New Orleans is a precious little toilet diamond by comparison. LGBT support is absolutely bedrock down here and the locals do NOT like being told what to do.
If worse comes to worse, Peg and I will have a thousand attics to hide in. We also have heavily armed ex-gangbanger neighbors we've done favors for in the past. 😼
We will live quite comfortably here in the <s>Fire</s> Jazz Swamp regardless of the turmoil in the civilized lands. The last five years down here have been basic training for living in a collapsing society, I'm pushing 50 and have lived a great life, and I am FUCKING READY. We're the last people anyone has to worry about.
