That is how Florida went from purple to red. People have gotten tired of the fight. Every day it is a slog but you keep trying. If not what happens to the next generation? Does the racism and hate just become institutionalized? The actual solution is more liberal leaning folks moving to red states.

It is hard and uncomfortable for sure- but it is the only way real change is sustainable. Part of FL slide has been folks abandoning it for more liberal environments and more rabid right wingers moving in. The amount of growth here is not from births. It is from people with hateful views moving in.

How do folks in poverty “maybe move?” Many folks live in red states because they’re poor. Also, how does moving all the blue voters into blue states help the electoral college problem?

How convenient it would be to just up and move. Minus the financials, I would have to go to court to get permission to move out of state because of my kids otherwise I'm kidnapping them per the custody agreement.

Guess the bottom line is that Red states need to suffer MORE, until it’s so painful they vote Blue. 🤷‍♀️

Yep. Dial up the suffering. What makes people in blue states feel so superior? Keep working on that division Birdergal.

What is it you folks want? You voted for a billionaire that you knew was a rapist, so you are getting f**ked. 🤷‍♀️

You’re great at assumptions. Who said we voted for Trump? We all voted for Trump? How dumb does that sound? Some people might have but I haven’t voted for republicans since I could vote. You obviously have no grasp on reality.

I think the point is: Red states need to wake the f up and stop voting against their own interests. They are inflicting their own suffering on themselves - how much will it take until they get it???

Their children enlist in the Military at lower rates. It's us Rural & Small town folks who, conflict after conflict, send our children to sacrifice. Enough of that crap.

There's no sense in letting a bad hometown be an anchor weighing someone down The best thing I did was move out of my hometown to a city
