People can move before the red states become a dystopian christofascist police state. Or they can try and flee after.
If people need help they can try opening a go fund me or at the very least ask for help. Blue states will start creating shelter and soup kitchens etc as the number of IDP increase
I spoke to someone else in the same situation last month. There are places like Binghamton NY where you can find rents for tiny places as low as $300 a month
It might not be where you would like to live but if the alternative is being rounded up and put in a camp?
I miss living in a blue state. The sad reality is it’s going to get bad everywhere. Far worse in red states that are dependent on federal funding. I kind of look forward to seeing my magat neighbors find out. Some have already taken down Felon 47 flags.
Not really. Trump hates blue states and Democratic Governors. Remember how much shit he gave Biden over the hurricane in NC? When Trump was in office NC had a hurricane and he told the entire state to GFY and he gave them 1% of what they needed because he doesn't like their (still) Dem Gov.
I live in a state with transgender protections built right into our State Constitution as well as a number of other things Trump is already targeting us for like all federal school funding.
I can see it now, JD Vance fresh off jettisoning his Indian wife and children in favor of MTG (had to keep up appearances after all) leans into the microphone at the dais of the former UN Assembly and orders the EU to unblock X or be wiped from the map, while slamming a sandal on the table.
I have noticed this A LOT in my red state. TONS of magat support all over yards and houses prior to and immediately following the election. Now? Very, very few to be seen. Almost as though they don’t want anyone to know. Oh, WE REMEMBER WHO ARE YOU.
I fear the magats only take down the 🟠💩🤡 rags because they claimed victory. I have two neighbors that stopped flying magat flags and “appeal to heaven” rags and now fly the USA flag.
I don't understand why removing a flag says they don't stand w/Trump any more.
That's complete BS & even worse...blindly stupid.
Of COURSE they still back Trump. Now they'll double-down bc of Musk.
These ppl believe anyone other than MAGA's are POS.
Don't be fooled. They still walk among us.
every day for months ...a red truck drives by my crosswalk with a huge Trump decal...i noticed last week that the family removed the trump decal (was a large photo of him pointing). Doesn't mean much but I wondered.....
Well, that's not bad advice if it was practical. You do realize, especially for older folks, it's pretty hard to just up and move.
And I'm a caregiver for my 99 year old mother. How does that work?
We know things are going to get bad! My God --stop with the obvious!
Well they can go back, if they want to, after the problem is dealt with. Staying put just makes them likely to get conscripted and forced to fight for those they don't agree with
lol. This is a very privileged take. Have you seen the real estate prices in California and the fact that you can't get home insurance in most of the state? Then you become a renter so you're still under control of a landlord.
It's very expensive to move, especially to a new state. Most folks aren't in a position to do that. But also, leaving also means abandoning those with even less privilege to fend for themselves. Many places are not as red as they lead us to believe, but appear that way due to awful gerrymandering.
I fully understand your points. I would argue it is easier to do it now while the highways are working and freedom of movement is still a thing.
All things considered those who fled east Germany with the shirts on their backs before the wall went up were better off. But I'm luckier than most 🤷🏼♂️
That is truth- although - Im in a solid blue state - my neighborhood is divided almost equally - the maggots avross the street - make sure I see their stupid sign 🤬
If you voted for trump and living in a red state, please stay in your red state. I live in Southern California and trump voters you are not welcome here. If you think that J6 was a day of love. Open your eyes and just look at the policemen being crushed by the doors of the capitol building.
The action of J6 is called treason. It you don’t know the definition of treason, let me enlighten you. “The offense of attempting by overt acts to overthrow the government of the state to which the offender owes allegiance or to kill or personally injure the sovereign or the sovereign's family”.
Many of us on a sinking ship as well. Nothing anyone can do about it unless we unite. Power in numbers. Where the hell is the opposing teams!? Since I’m in the same ship, I might as well get some pleasure in this. It will hurt but with a twist.
I’m petty enough to still enjoy their misfortune despite my own. But then again, I’m pretty much used to misfortune, so this hasn’t been a big adjustment.
Kindly remind them that the people in the best position to save their favored program are their representatives in Congress. Particularly if they live in a red state or district.

Fuck the selfish magat twats.
You are not being herlpful to those of us who can't just blithely move out of a gerrymandered red state where our votes mean nothing, but it's home.

Minnesota is a safe haven for women, children, trans, people of color, immigrants & LGBTQIA communities.
Our school systems are top-notch.

I don't begrudge them for their choices. Each person has to make their own decisions. It doesn't mean that trying to warn people is pointless or wrong
Go lookup the period of reconstruction. It clearly ended too early and didn't go far enough. A mistake we won't repeat.
