Gravity and Inertia are harsh mistresses.

Hey, they'll even come with their own weapons, too!

Weekly. They're going to start pulling out all the stops to suppress votes, you need to catch it as early as possible if they cut you from the rolls.

Was that an autocorrection or are we calling him Elmo now? Because I'm down to start calling him that either way.

Yeah, but see that family that invited him there was "special" and the laws don't apply to them or to Trump when they say they don't. Typical fucking MAGAts.

Not just that, it shows his moral character to a T. It also shows the moral character of those families that thanked him.

America is not a meritocracy. It is big racist misogynist shithole with misogynist racists usually in charge of selection processes. "But we have legal protections against that!" you cry. Yeah, as long as you can prove it. If they don't say something or leave a paper trail, you can't prove shit. The system is still absolutely rigged against minorities and women and set up in a way that protections against any form of bigotry are so fucking vague as to be virtually unenforceable in all cases except the most extreme. Affirmative action is one of the ways to combat that. It, too, is not a perfect answer, but it is better than letting the bigots win. Indeed, the end game of Affirmative Action is to get enough women and minorities lifted up that the US can actually become a real meritocracy.

He's an Uncle Ruckus for sure.

You have no idea how interconnected the world is, do you? How reliant the US is on its ports. Not just any place on a coastline is big enough to pull a cargo ship up to, as well as having the infrastructure to unload it and coordinate all that. All they have to do is hose every port capable of handling cargo ships and we are entirely fucked. The cherry on top would be nuking the oil refineries, completely wiping out our ability to move goods even if the ports were open. We will not have enough food to feed the country within a few days. Mass starvation starts a week or so afterwards. Two to three weeks later and at least a quarter or more of Americans will be dead from starvation. Then comes the massive waves of diseases due to all the unburied dead. Inside of two months at least half of America will be dead or dying. More likely to be closer to three-quarters.

All out nuclear is not something we survive.

Having made this sort of move several times in my youth with my parents, and a couple times as an adult, stick to the interstate as the others have said. Don't worry about the mountains unless you're doing it in winter, the moving van will be able to handle it if it has been properly maintained. 99% of the gas stations next to the interstate will be able to accommodate your situation, as well. If you can, break it into 3 days of driving 6 hours or so. Figure each stop will be about 30 minutes long with any food stops being up to an hour.
