My hope is that y'all will note all the people who turned out in the states you so callously mock and label deserving of this suffering. Even in the smallest of towns, people showed up because they hate this man.

Well put and I’ve certainly condemned the dominant leaders who taint it for the rest. Think of that POS Johnson from Louisiana for example. How do the good people in that state not rise up and overthrow that? What needs to happen?
There are people fighting very hard in that state without support from national organizations or the national Democratic Party. It's also one of the poorest parts of the country where education has been severely impacted. They are fighting against obstacles that blue states can't even imagine.
Just look at how they voted against all 4 shitty constitutional amendments. The fight is there and has been there. They haven't had equal resources at any point since the civil war.
Even in Texas, where Republicans gerrymander and routinely use voter suppression to remain in power, lots of us would rejoice if Abbot and krew were abducted by space aliens, and will dance in the street the day Trump joins Ivanna on the golf course...
Until y'all learn to humanize the people in states you've been taught to hate, we're not getting anywhere. Until y'all learn these states are filled with POC and not just rich white people, we won't get anywhere. Until y'all learn about voter suppression and gerrymandering, we won't get anywhere.
Not someone trying to QT this doing exactly what I was talking about. The way yall speak without knowing a damn thing about voter suppression and gerrymandering 🤦🏼♀️🤦🏼♀️
It's the magas in the states that make them red. Not the state itself or the other people that reside there. I feel for everyone affected by all the maga insanity, red or blue state, it doesn't matter.
THANK YOU! i have friends in Indiana doing more than any west coast or new england "resister". all the most impressive crowds i saw yesterday were small towns in red states. even my tiny little red town had a loud and large showing.
As a Disabled, Queer Appalachian Communist I really have no confidence in liberals to actually stop their deplorable behavior only pause it for short term political gain and for leftists it’s not that much better. Maybe they will surprise me, but I fucking doubt it.

And it's a great act of bravery, necessarily so, for those people in those red communities to stand up as they are.
We should recognize allies and bravery everywhere.
