    I don’t. It’s going to hurt the red states more. Even in the areas that aren’t red, more people went so far to the left they chose to support Trump or sit out the vote which helped secure his house and senate wins.

    People are finally waking up to realize that elections have consequences and the latest elections are showing it.

      If they don’t understand why, then their suffering will just embolden their anti Democrat beleifs though.

      Until it hurts someone you do like. My dude, that is the exact republican mentality we need to overcome eh?

        Eh, at this point I’d be happy just to see a lot more graves with a red baseball cap hanging off them and an epitaph inscribed saying “I didn’t vote for this”.

        They had, what, almost a decade to read the writing on the wall? Maybe two if you want to go all the way back to Bush (or four for Reagan)? I used to try to link resources for education when discussing with these people, explain the consequences of our own and others’ actions, and where have we ended up now anyway?

        Fuck 'em. The more of them that die, the less problems my generation and my family and friends have to worry about in the future, and hey, maybe I can nab a cheap house at their bankruptcy auction.

          MAGA ignorance is the result of the oligarchs war on the working class via destroying public education among a litany of other things.

          Nothing about magas dying will prevent the cycle repeating.

            Then the clear solution is that there should have been grassroot organizations that took charge and emphasized the importance of an educated citizenry…

            Oh wait, there were. The response was that they banned books and criminalized areas of study (Critical Race Theory) that would give the citizenry the ability to reflect on history and their abuses. All of this occurred within the last 13 years, by the way.

            Brain drain has already taken effect from those who took the emigration route out of their state to a place that valued them. If those of sound mind need to escape but are unable to afford, let I be the first one to donate to their plane or train ticket. As for the rest of the state, let it fail. Let it self destruct. Allow the Kansas Experiment to repeat until nothing is left but the hollow shells of buildings.

          Fuckin A brother. I grew up on the hopium of making changes and leave the world a better place but giant swathes of people would rather see it all burn just so they can show the other side they were right.

          Me n mine are doing what we can to survive whatever the hell happens and just be happy in our little slice of heaven as independent as we can be.

            When one side is hellbent on criminalizing your existence, why would you give a shit about trying to appease the other side and shake their hand lol.

            But hey, if you got a place where people accept each other and are willing to work together for a better future, good for you. I’m just hoping I don’t get dragged away from my family, and to outlive those who try.

              You sound exactly like the type that would rather attack people than look for common ground or understanding. Peace.
