Eric, friend, I hear your calm response and I appreciate it as most people responding to me just want allowance to be lazily mean to people in red states, but may I recommend slowing down. Do you know the paper we’re talking under is from a red state? People know and are working. Go look. Read.

We all have different perspectives based on our past and current experiences. I’m in SF. Deep, deep blue, right? Yet, there are people within my social circle who voted for T in 16 and again in 24. My problem is we can’t tell who is the undercover gestapo. 1/2

hey! I lived in a ridiculously red county for many years and my solution was to get out. As quickly as possible. College helped. Get the kids out. They deserve a better future.

I lived in a conservative county. Once I was old enough, I left. I plan to send my kids to college overseas. Alabama blue, send your kids out of Alabama no matter how! Find any way you can! Scholarships, early jobs, whatever it takes.

I left, but my family is generational poverty levels like a lot of people where I’m from esp since the prosperity Californians took over the areas around my home city. Like the POC generations deep in the south, it’s incredibly hard to leave without money or safety nets. Guilt eats me from afar.

A lot of these people seem completely oblivious to the fact that members of all political parties live in all 50 states, and that when they wish bad things on people living in red states, they're wishing them on Democrats as well as Republicans. They would happily throw us away.

You’re talking about immigrant/migrant labor pay & benefits in Alabama in response to Alabama farmers talking about their issue being not having any labor at all.

I have no idea what you’re talking about with Texas. Minority turnout in Alabama has been falling and if I recall correctly, conducted elections with an illegal gerrymander & a variety of turn-out suppression. Pushing back on the gerrymander of TX by fighting fire with fire is the same fight.
