Rural PA, and I'm mostly alone. Sometimes in a conversation with someone I'll throw out a bait-type comment to see the reaction.

I'm a purple dot in a red state. My hope is one day someone can truly unite us. But I don't see that in my future. I stand with blue. I stand for blue until that time happens. 💜💙💜💙💜💙

I’m a blue dot in a red family with a red husband. Get me outta here!!!

zeppyman.bsky.social•12 hours ago

Well, he may have the balls. But you’ve got the scissors. 💙

I’m right there with you 🫶

cosmicpurplecat.bsky.social•17 hours ago

My goodness. How do you stay sane?

starrenee.bsky.social•17 hours ago

I’ll admit this as well, mom and husband are insane Elon fanboys. Like fully in the cult, he’s the smartest man in the world and he’s saving America. Oh and my husband is a veteran!!!! I know how Alice felt in wonderland for sure, up is down, republicans are nazis. 🥹🤦🏻‍♀️

cosmicpurplecat.bsky.social•17 hours ago

Holy shit. They are deep in denial. We’re living in upside down land.

zeppyman.bsky.social•15 hours ago

Make it entertaining. Sell tickets 🎟️ to their MAGAmaniacal conversations.

starrenee.bsky.social•15 hours ago

Here’s a snippet of a text exchange between me and husband. He’s in another state for work right now, I felt safe with a long distance jab at Trumpsk, but clearly he still reveres those fools.

starrenee.bsky.social•17 hours ago

There’s been a LOT of fighting, a lot of crying. And mostly now we have to not discuss what’s going on ever. It’s rough. They suggest I hide my face going to protest 😅 I’m not a fucking Nazi, I don’t have to hide my face!! But yeah. Rough.

breezerr24.bsky.social•17 hours ago

I had a horrible fight with my grown daughter and now we’re not speaking. 😔

starrenee.bsky.social•17 hours ago

I’m so so sorry for this!!! Praying you can find your way back to each other. 💙💙💙

zeppyman.bsky.social•16 hours ago

Stay vigilant and proudly blue. I have a “Red” friend. We argued and almost lost our friendship. So I made a proposition: “Look, we’ve been good friends a long time. Let’s leave politics out of our friendship and move forward.” He agreed. And we’re still friends.

starrenee.bsky.social•15 hours ago

Yes that’s the only way I can have a marriage at this point. We cannot discuss anything happening politically. It’s infuriating.

breezerr24.bsky.social•15 hours ago

Thanks for the support and good advice. I appreciate that.

cosmicpurplecat.bsky.social•17 hours ago

Hugs to you. This is ripping families apart. We live and die by our convictions. You are a warrior.

breezerr24.bsky.social•17 hours ago

Thank you 💕

cosmicpurplecat.bsky.social•17 hours ago

Wow. Hang in there. Your convictions are to be admired. My husband’s family are all RED. My hubby voted Trump the first time and now thinks he’s a raving lunatic. Over time we’ve discussed how our daughters’ rights have been compromised. He now sees the light. Chin up. Onward.

nousefortrump.bsky.social•1 day ago

Thank you from a desiccated blue dot stuck for the past 30 years in the very darkest wilds of central Texas.

zeppyman.bsky.social•1 day ago

I have a friend in Texas. He has a great saying, “Texas is a Blue State with a lot of people that don’t vote.”

nousefortrump.bsky.social•1 day ago

Most of 'em "hate that goddam gubmint." Waco went a LONG way to reinforce that hatred. It's going to be interesting to see how or if that changes when they begin losing their farms, ranches and the jobs that pay for their beer and chicken wings.

j9j281.bsky.social•1 day ago

Thank you! I am a blue dot, and it is very hard.

bluetenn.bsky.social•1 day ago

TN red enough for you? It does from here.

zeppyman.bsky.social•1 day ago

Red enough or dumb enough? But you are the smart one.

breezerr24.bsky.social•17 hours ago

I’m a blue dot in a blue State, but in a RED county. Ugh! I’m surrounded here.

It’s MAGA as far as the eye can see.

I’m getting flipped off bc I wrote FDT in the dirt on my car 🤣🤣🤣

cinderoak.bsky.social•19 hours ago

I live in a purple state. If not for Northern VA it could be red. Wonder if this is another reason to fire everyone that has a federal job. The votes?

hettiejune.bsky.social•1 day ago

Thanks for saying it. I'm on a personal campaign to annoy Shelley Moore Capito and Jim Justice.

ann-richards-ghost.bsky.social•19 hours ago

A whole lot of fuckery by Greg Abbott and company in this red state!

Yes, I can only imagine. Even here in California there’s plenty.

periwinklerose.bsky.social•1 day ago

I am in Texas & I feel like the entire country has written us off as a foregone conclusion that we are just accepting what is happening here & in the nation. I am here to tell you WE ARE NOT! We are a severely voter suppressed state with suffocating gerrymandering & appreciate the SUPPORT!

zeppyman.bsky.social•1 day ago

I have heard the expression that Texas is the blue state that does not vote. Still with voter suppression, every county has a Democratic Party to join that can help people get their votes in. And… I’ve met many Texans—great people!

periwinklerose.bsky.social•16 hours ago

Most “Texans” are transplants due to job transfer from other states. I’ve been in DF/W since ‘96. Don’t meet many “natives” except in rural areas.The ones I have aren’t really keen on accepting transplants as “Texans” even after all this time. Most of our state & federal politicians are transplants.

zeppyman.bsky.social•16 hours ago

Same. I live in the SF Bay Area, Calif. it’s transplantland here too. I actually want to leave. It’s too damned expensive here. Thinking of southern New Mexico. I heard Las Cruces is a great place to retire.

texasmusicgirl.bsky.social•1 day ago

YAS!!

waning-crescent.bsky.social•1 day ago

Same with Ohio. Horrible gerrymandering.

cosmicpurplecat.bsky.social•17 hours ago

Yes. Exactly. We are not shitheads. We hold deep convictions and it feels like we are drowning in a sea of Red.

Hi Richard
Love your page and profile, so I've added you to my list for my well-vetted Boost Pack 22, which I hope to release next week.
If you want out, let me know, otherwise you're in!
Stronger together!
👊🔥👍

richard62.bsky.social•1 day ago

Thankyou 👊💙

agilitypom.bsky.social•17 hours ago

Blue dot in a VERY red county in Michigan. It's getting pretty quiet around here. Not much being said. I think the MAGA are seeing things they don't particularly like, but don't quite know how to respond. They'll learn, the hard way I'm afraid.

johnnatx.bsky.social•17 hours ago

Texas here and I have a Liberal Ladies Lunch group that keeps me sane. 😃

cosmicpurplecat.bsky.social•17 hours ago

So frustrating to live in Texas. I fear for my daughter when she starts a family. And the sad truth is…she will most likely move. My heart is breaking for her and for me. It’s life changing.

twcook.us•16 hours ago

Thanks. It's not that bad. It's just annoying. The fun part is finding the small group of like-minded people to huddle up and protest at Comer's and McConnell's offices.

zeppyman.bsky.social•16 hours ago

And there ya go. Action in progress. 💙

ryannrivera4.bsky.social•19 hours ago

Fl here. My district is pretty blue but I feel like my state and governor are just blind followers. I shake my head daily and say I can’t believe this is happening. That some band of hillbillies that could barely pass civics decided our fate

fandude41.bsky.social•18 hours ago

Would purple states qualify? We have a 50,000 year old turtle and a fake doctor representing us. ;_;

Good governor, though!

sflavender.bsky.social•1 day ago

Family and friends. I just want to shake them and ask why they fall for this BS. And while my state is viewed as uneducated, these are not uneducated people. But they've drank too much of the cool aid so I just keep my mouth shut.

zeppyman.bsky.social•1 day ago

You’re doing the right thing. I keep my mouth shut and grit my teeth around MAGAts. There’s no reasoning with cultists. Besides, sheep don’t listen.
