The whole national divorce thing is pretty stupid, and while most of the people arguing for it are right-wingers mad that most of us think it’s wrong to hate trans people, the fact that our electoral map is broken up by states, which are then colored either solid red or solid blue, tricks even some reasonable people into thinking it makes sense. When in reality, this is what the country looks like, making clear there are basically no red or blue states.

@arossp I wish I had a dollar for every time a self proclaimed leftist or liberal suggested we just throw “red states” to the wolves by splitting up the union. It’s always fun to learn how many people who proclaim to be compassionate and anti-racist are actually willing to throw away Black people and poor people and disabled people because they live in states ruled by cruel people.

@WeShall @arossp those on the left that support the idea of 2 countries actually say much different than what you’re claiming. The ones I’ve talked to all want some way to get people out of those states if they want to. They talk about sponsorship and govt programs or even amnesty to get those people into the blue country where they’ll be taken care of. So you’re either not listening to them or spreading lies
