Living in Texas, nothing irritates me like the condescending apathy of blue state Democrats who think they're safe so none of this matters.

You're not safe.

This blue state / red state mentality where it's all about living in the right place and it's your own fault if you don't is not helping anyone.

Especially when red states power national Republican election victories that affect everyone.

How quickly people forgot what it was like having Trump and a GOP controlled Congress, which is how we got this corrupt SCOTUS in the first place.

When Republicans are done, it won't matter where you live. They don't honor "states rights" for anyone else.
@gwynnion And that's how they will be destroyed...
@gwynnion and they never fucking did
@gwynnion even in “liberal” California, there’s 1 county that’s solid republican and they rival FLorida with their policies. Recently school board illegally replaced superintendent to someone with their beliefs are trying to ban books & black history & in lgbt issues. And this is in the most liberal state in the country.
@twitterreject @gwynnion 1 county is a severe undercount. I live in a rural Sierra county, and ALL of the Sierra counties are deep red, as well as much of the southern central valley and far northern Ca.
I’m from Texas, so I have seen me some racists in my day, and the overt racism displayed in the Sierra counties equals or exceeds anything I ever saw in Texas.
@bertwells @twitterreject @gwynnion I agree. I’m from SoCal and I know quite a lot of people who have moved to those areas and when they left they gave overtly racist reasons. It’s scary in some of those parts.
@twitterreject @gwynnion I was walking my dogs this morning at the local school & saw a confederate flag in a window. When I looked in through another window, I saw another one prominently hanging next to a map. It appeared to be a history lesson. That flag was never displayed when I learned history. That’s either an ill informed teacher or one who is allowing their beliefs to interfere —-normalizing that flag to children 🤬 from a red part of Cali, once purple
