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!

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?

The strongest and best and most correct way to frame nearly every right wing culture war is to highlight how they're the ones who are making a big deal out of everything and they just need to leave people alone and let them be.
This and also show people the things they say is insane (and unpopular)

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

I don't see even trump murdering Ivana to delay a deposition by a few weeks. To begin with, nobody in their circle is creative enough to dream it up. They're thugs, not Machiavellis.
Don jr would livestream it on instagram too

Two kids and wife soon will not be a teacher any more. No covid here.

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

It’s better than the diesel or nat gas ones they’re running now

As someone who recently lost a parent, I do feel for the soulless monsters that are Don JR., Eric, and Ivanka.
That said, every single news outlet should point out that Ivana stated in their divorce proceedings that Donald brutally raped her.
You won’t believe what he’s doing now
