I’m a blue dot in a red state. I get it. But teaching people to read and interpret is important and so much of what is lacking today. Sure, maps can’t show every person. I wish they could.

Critical thinking is sadly nonexistent in MAGA

If you live in a town, you are likely a tower of blue, not just a dot. I'd like to see some 3D maps that show how population centers are (more likey than not) Democratic, red state or blue.

True, Kansas City as a tower, not a bad analogy.

Me, too. Back in 2020, I posted a pro-BLM comment on the community page and got death threats. I was scared into silence and I'm sure there's more of us. I feel guilty, though, because my silence reinforces the perception that my town is 100% MAGA

Angered over many things in the current environment… one of them is that with all this division, putin is winning at a long term goal of dividing the country. Violence and threats of violence, a bully/violent leader w/violent permission structure are angering.
