I’d suggest you’re watching the wrong podcasts.
Even if those numbers support separation, that's a massive problem.
Perhaps the Dakotas are similar to Canada? I grew up in the Black Hills and went to middle school and high school in Rapid City. Classmates were a mix of rich kids, poor kids, Air Force brats and American Indians. It was FAFO. A volatile mix. I got in a few fights but not as many as some people. I don’t think my two sons ever got in a single fight here in Colorado. Perhaps not as volatile of a mix, they were both big athletes and the schools here really address bullying. I dealt with several bullies but don’t remember schools addressing bullying ever. I was a basketball guard and teammates with some Indians so didn’t have trouble with them much.
Also surprised The Donald didn't bring up what Cyril said in the past...would have really turned up the heat

come on man, get your hands off your behind.
"According to the Transvaal Agricultural Union of South Africa (TAU SA), over 1,000 white commercial farmers have been killed in South Africa since the end of apartheid in 1994. The exact figures vary depending on the source, as the South African Police Service has not published specific statistics on farm murders since 2007 ( why???) and has integrated them into the general murder statistics.
A common theme among South Africans I have met over the last twenty years or so, a number whom I consider good friends, is an almost desperate urge to whistle past the graveyard. In spite of their nation gradually sinking from a first world industrial and scientific powerhouse into a third world economic malaise and likely eventual failed state status, there is a belief everything will be ok - it will somehow all work out. Sadly, Ramaphosa's boiled frog analogy seems all too acurate.
Apparently this bill removes the $200 tax but it’s still on the list.
NRA-ILA | Last Chance for Gun Owners to Ask U.S. House to Amend the Reconciliation Bill
The U.S. House of Representatives has another chance to amend the current Reconciliation Bill making its way through Congress. The Reconciliation Bill would currently rescind the unconstitutional tax on suppressors, but it doesn’t remove them from the National Firearms Act (NFA) completely...www.nraila.org
Exactly! I have friends who have joined together in a sort of armed militia to defend their farms. A few years ago I was on a farm in the western cape. A week later the neighbors were dead in a vicious farm attack. These folks live in gated compounds in continual readiness for an attack. Any attempt to downplay this is ludicrous. I am glad that it is finally getting the attention it deserves.
Thanks @Hank2211 That was the input I was looking for. As mentioned previously, I don't know the host or the guest and merely stumbled onto that video. I listened to get a different view of said topic. It was different but as I suspected, not a true reflection of what is happening on the ground in Alberta.
Yes and there was a push to remove SBR’s as well; some lawmakers thought that gun owners were upset about the $200 tax; but there was a big push by “gun tubers” to get the word out and have people contact their politicians and get things right.NRA-ILA | U.S. House Passes Reconciliation Bill, Removing Suppressors from the National Firearms Act
Earlier today, the U.S. House of Representatives passed H.R.1 the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, which included Section 2 of the Hearing Protection Act, completely removing suppressors from the National Firearms Act (NFA).
As best I can tell, It was amended since Monday to actually remove from NFA, not just the $200 stamp. Now it still needs to be fully passed and get thru Senate or final modifications, but seems promising.
