We generally don’t hate people from red states, I’m in Oregon. We see them like a kid that won’t stop touching a hot stove. It’s more a disappointment than a “fuck em”.
Apparently you’ve never had people tell you that you don’t matter because you’re from a red state. I’m trans, stuck in a red state, and get to have people tell me I deserve what the state is doing to me and my trans siblings because we were born here.
Obviously Texas wouldn’t be so red if we would just vote for Democrats, right? Therefore, we must be part of the problem! As long as one person votes blue then that cancels out all the red votes so we really have no one to blame but ourselves!
Could you share more about your trans siblings? I had understood that being transgender was relatively uncommon, and I realize there may be genetic or other factors involved. It’s new to me that multiple members of a family might identify this way, and I’d love to learn more if you’re open to sharing. Thanks!
I know. How does that make my comment wrong?

Like maybe they are just stupid?

I voted blue. Fuck you.
Individual responsibility, bootstraps, etc.

Maybe. How many times does a kid have to burn himself on a hot stove before we accept that he’s just stupid and a lost cause?
Never. But we can still be disappointed. Not everyone in red states sucks, the majority of them seem to though.
Alright, well, keep hoping that they’ll stop burning their hand on the stove one day. Seems like a waste of time and energy, but that’s up to you.
I would like to hear your proposed solution.
Why you have to call them stupid?
