Red states are redder. Blue states are bluer. And our politics? Hotter.
Red states are redder. Blue states are bluer. And our politics? Hotter.
A USA TODAY analysis shows 3/4 of counties have become more partisan, leaving less room for compromise or even conversation.
The Right completely lost it's shit when a black man won the White House. The election of a black Asian woman will make them catatonic. They just can't accept what is happening in their dystopian little fantasy world.
Catatonic, or inconsolably violent?
Some will be violent. Some will be vocal. Some will grumble and move on. The violent ones will be the ones who make the evening news. They may also cause serious disruptions.
For the most part, I think you should prepare for disruption equivalent to a blizzard or hurricane. Stock up on canned foods. Get containers for water. Order Life Straws if you don't have them already. Stock up on batteries and charge any rechargeables you have. Make sure you know where your flashlights are. Load up on propane tanks for your grill and have a plan for how to use your grill safely. Add to that self-defence tools in case of civil disturbances in your area -- we're going to keep non-lethal but still painful self-defence tools for our self-protection. And then wait things out and try to stay safe. Check in on your neighbours, and stuff like that. I wrote an article on what I think you should do to survive Election 2024 with more details.
Catatonic and quietly insane.
They scream and cry but they're ball-less pussies and they know what happened the last time they actually tried something. This time we wouldn't restrain ourselves nearly as much.
It is exhausting being blue and living in a red state. When I go on a vacation to a blue state, I question why I'm living where I am. I imagine many are asking themselves the same thing and moving.
Be grateful you're white, I would not go back for any money, it's like wearing a pride shirt and a yarmulke to a taliban rally.
I'm not grateful for it, but I do recognize the societal privileges that come with it.
It grates on me seeing inequality for silly reasons like race, sex, religion, or sexual orientation etc. My state isn't so red I'm seeing Confederate flags all the time, but its the subtle 'wink wink' justification of mistreatment that I see. When I call people on it doing this, I get met with immediate confusion, and then anger as they realize I'm "one of those".
And our media? Worthless.
Just a friendly reminder that the US media’s business model is engagement. The goal is not to improve lives or help in anyway, and in some aspects perpetuating harm is a self fulfilling operation
As Capitalism decays, fascism and Socialism/Communism rise among the Bourgeoisie/Petite Bourgeoisie and the Proletariat/Lumpenproletariat respectively. It's only going to get worse and more polarized, hence the necessity to organize.
Wew. The eloquence of Comrade Lenin (and I don't mean John)
My state (Georgia) is... purpler?... Heading in the right direction.
When the election committee and gerrymandering aren't completely and utterly destroying local elections, that is
Yep. Still a lot of fuckery going on.
Atlanta is heading in the right direction.
The rest is just going crazier.
