  1. For a variety of reasons I don’t see that challenge happening unless and until the right gets a few more wins from the court. i also wouldn’t rule out gorsuch not going along with it because he can be at least aware of historical injustices (think the insular cases and korematsu) but stupidly blind to current ones.
  2. brb gonna go to northern Ireland and find a pub to order a black and tan or irish car bomb then tell them it's actually cultural imperialism when they get mad
  3. don't forget the class of white guys who love to talk about how "they almost joined, but then [reason why they didn't join]"
  4. Job market good -> military recruiting bad Job market bad -> military recruiting good
  5. Re cost of living its because every single state did the same thing California did and only now are the rest of us catching up. We can look into the future and it’s looking a lot like California unless something major changes! And nimby dems aren’t going to help here, nor will republicans (they’re really the same group with regards to housing)
  6. White women are and have been the vanguard of reactionary white supremacy since forever. From before the lies that got Emmett Till lynched to Phyllis Schlafly campaigning against the Equal Rights Amendment to the present day. but writing off all women (or white women in particular) is exactly the same as writing off Florida or Texas because of their reactionaries. But my point is that just because I’m cis white whatever doesn’t mean there’s nothing that won’t affect my life or those whom I care about and that I’d be “just fine” (also pretending that “accessory to an illegal abortion” or other crimes wouldn’t come in place!)
  7. What a load of fucking shit, I’ll be fine so id be ok with my daughters being subject of a harassing forced birth state? Come the fuck on.
  8. I’m probably wrong in some aspects (was in a weird place last night writing that) but I’ve moved across states before (once with just my truck, some clothes, and my mattress) and I’m not saying it isn’t possible. I can’t say it isn’t possible because I’ve done it. But moving away from friends and family and people you know—actual community and support, not just a dominant culture, this is my distinction— isn’t for everyone especially going blind to a new place. Moving across country is fucking hard! I will say that telling allies in shitty places to just move away seems like a dumb as bricks move long term though! Especially from someone who days ago said that people are persuadable!
  9. moving can be extremely expensive and more importantly difficult if you don’t have a community in the place you’re moving to. Many migrants and immigrants do have this support or community and this is how a LOT of immigration to the U.S. has worked. China towns, little Italy’s, stuff like that. This type of support is what gives women the ability to get themselves and their children out of absolutely horrific home situations, women’s shelters and an extensive network dedicated to keeping these people safe and hopefully off the streets. It’s how many Black people migrating to northern cities, based on some of their own accounts I have read, were able to move to e.g. Detroit and get a job. White people these days largely don’t have any community, especially outside of a church, let alone community in a new state many miles away that aligns with their values. Maybe someday that could happen, a network to help people moving to good states from shitty ones. But instead of building that network in CA and NY for white southern expats it might be better trying to make the places like Texas where people live better instead. Idk though, I don’t live in an unsalvageable shithole, so that’s not my fight. Do whatever makes you feel better like yelling at strangers online or uprooting your whole life and moving across country. besides, it’s not like the right isn’t coming for those values in CA and NY through the federal government. Right?
  10. This and also show people the things they say is insane (and unpopular)
  11. If trump is not the nominee he’s dead and if he’s not the nominee and not dead he’s running 3rd party out of spite
  12. I have never had it nor has anyone in my house. I’ve been dodging exposure through my daughters daycare on the regular so it’s bound to fail at some point but at least now she’s got one of her shots
  13. It’s better than the diesel or nat gas ones they’re running now
