Being from a Blue urban area but having spent a lot of time this year traveling in red states and being in the process of relocating has made me reflect on the two Americas that currently exist and how I think this affects Trump supporters differently based on where they live. My home state of California is decimated it's on a collision course to becoming a third world communist state. I've long since stopped carrying what happens to the general population here but I still care about my family and also there are some areas here where people are genuinely decent and conservative that I've frequented in rural counties. A lot of people in my family who support Trump I think are basically hoping for something like an absolute miracle where Trump wins and then somehow California starts to immediately get better. Personally I think even if Trump wins this may not immediately affect California so I look at it a bit more from the perspective of a red State person now in that I'm not quite as depressed as other people in my family I'm more just filled with energy and anger and ready to start putting my efforts into something positive, I'm mainly depressed at their attitudes and reactions to what's going on and that they're going to keep living in a horrible blue state.
For those of you who are in red States and maybe not freaking out quite as much because you already have established lives in places that are more stable maybe it could be helpful if you thought of ways to reach out to the greater MAGA community in blue states because even States like California have a huge base of trump supporters but they are all depressed, disillusioned, defeated, etc and I think aren't necessarily in a state where they can resist what could be coming as easily. It's just something I've seen personally with family where they seem very defeated but I think there has to be a way for people on the right to unite from across the country and take back the entire continent, I just don't know what it will be but I hope others are here that are good at organizing and figuring things out.
How can you keep blue staters away? They're like the humans in "Avatar" and red state people are like the blue people.
You forget that there are a lot fewer blue states if this was an honest election and it's become obvious our governing officials aren't representative of us. I don't doubt for a second that PA went massively for Trump and that the fraud was colossal. We're a great country and when we stick together and work together nothing can stop us, especially a bunch of corrupt bureaucrats. We know how corrupt things are, who the ones trying to cheat are and we fight back which we're doing and we'll only get better at.
yes, from CA, begging the rest of the nation to fight your FUCKING ASS OFF to stop this ... commies take over media, courts, and classrooms, then they wrap around the rest of your life like a boa constrictor ... DO NOT LET THIS STEAL OF AZ, GA, WI, PA, MI, NV STAND!!!!
red vs blue My 2cents: we need to organize the churches and prepare any district that don't rely on machine ballots to pledge to tackle code reform & pledge never support ANY digital voting
Tennessee here. Handle. Your. Business.
There's no where to run.
The other thing I wonder about is how much better it would be if getting a gun wasn't nearly impossible, like it is here. That's one difference I see between red and blue states.
I feel like Texas has turned into a dictatorship.
Abbott had gone way too far thinking he can mandate how many people can eat at a restaurant or close then down completely or mandate masks... Even local county judges and mayors think they can mandate that people stay at home, even in red counties. They may not go quite as far as blue states, but even one step into authoritarianism is too far.
I hate every bit of this crap. I could see things going badly very quickly. I'm surprised I still have a job after being called into my bosses office to talk about mask wearing. I was barely able to even get some things handled at the tax office and had to have them meet me outside to take care of my business there.
And just because local law enforcement offices choose not to enforce a lot of this crap doesn't mean that the leadership hasn't overstepped. The enforcement thing could easily change. If I lived in a blue state, I'm almost positive I'd be in jail now for not wearing a mask or getting within 6ft of another person or something equally as ridiculous. Back in April or May, some areas even had checkpoints set up to make sure people traveling were essential workers. I haven't forgotten that crap even though a lot of people seem to have, either that or they thought it was fine.
As for the presidential election, if Biden gets in, we're all screwed anyway. Being in a red state isn't going to help when they decide to cut off your bank accounts for not being vaccinated or some other stupid reason.
@Averon good comment--fellow traveler--
My 2cents:code reform is where its at...organize the churches...tx pede here - happy to help
I don't know why, but I just keep thinking I should run for governor. Probably just a stupid idea I've got in my head since I know hardly anybody and wouldn't know where to begin.
I view abortion just as bad, if not worse than the holocaust and if I was governor, I'd go after the abortionists big time... Seems like nobody is doing anything about the murder of babies. I don't care what the supreme court says, if they said we had to let people kill Jews, we wouldn't stand for that, why do we allow it for babies?
