Nowhere GirlLiving 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.
Orange Lantern@gwynnion and then you were lucky that the whole bunch was incredibly incompetent. Considering this, just imagine the damage a fascist-controlled government with an IQ higher than room temperature could do.
Well, you don’t have to imagine, actually — the red states are pretty much giving a solid preview from what I can tell from beyond the pond.

@orangelantern The first two years of Trump were the dog having caught the car and not knowing what to do with it. But they were laser focused on hijacking the courts, and they won't make the same mistakes again.
Our only advantage was Trump didn't care about the politics because he was in it for the grift.
@gwynnion Exactly (nice metaphor btw), that was disastrous for everyone involved but it actually could have been much worse. Which it will be and also is really scary.
Also appointing someone into such an important position for life almost deafeningly screams bad idea. Sometimes you really wonder about people’s sanity.

@orangelantern The thing to understand about American government is it was designed to be gamed by white supremacists.
