This is what a “Death Panel” looks like. Odd, because the GOP spent the last decade saying single payer health care and abortion rights would lead to death panels. Turns out they just wanted to be the ones running the death panels. Flee the south! Flee red states! I know their are naysayers that want people to stay so they turn the areas blue. But my argument is those areas had their chances to get basic human compassion correct and they fail every time. They will never ever agree with the will of the people and will go back on any bill passed that protects marginalized communities. The only way they will “see the light” is if they look around their states and see no women; see no educated individuals; see no hard working youths; and see no business. Then maybe they will. It’s not your responsibility to put your own life and your families lives at risk in hopes that things will get better. They won’t! I live in Colorado, our state isn’t perfect but for fuck sakes we’re trying to make life better. I used to complain about all the out of state people moving here, but I realized the majority are political refugees fleeing areas in their own fucking country. We’d love to have you because we want to lead by example. Colorado used to be known as the “Hate State” and now is one of the most liberal and free states.
Don’t mind winter one bit. Tropical storm rain driving translates really well to snow. It’s nice having seasons. The altitude was the roughest transition tbh.
Technically speaking you kind of do? The way the States have structured things your individual states have the same binding ability full on countries do… “Land of the Free” sounds kind of insane when you exist outside of that and see instead two countries at constant war with each other fighting over whose rules are the most binding over each of it’s citizens particularly… You can even be extradited back to a former state you lived in! That isn’t how it works for damn near every other democracy. That isn’t freedom that’s just color coded chains.
No. Flee. We’ve learned through experience that turning a red state blue is a pipe dream. You cannot change from within, a state with systemic problems that doesn’t want to change.
I urge everyone in a red state that it capable- to leave ASAP.
That’s the problem though. It leaves those less capable stuck with no hope of their situation ever improving. Conservatives can be outnumbered. The easy thing is not necessarily the right thing.
You know that we can’t remove them from the country, right? Your way of thinking is exactly why the damned conservatives are as strong as they are. Ultimately you are giving them their best chance at taking even more political power. You should be ashamed of yourself for leaving those weaker and less capable than yourself to just be consumed by dogs. You are a coward and no better than them. One day they will be coming for you. Just know that.

No. The damned conservatives are as strong as they are because of foreign-paid propaganda, hatred of the country they claim to serve, love of donor cash, and overwhelming amoral dishonesty.
If you really want to be heard by someone who has decided they are already fighting a losing battle, may I suggest NOT demonizing their thinking as though this is anything like a fair fight.
I live in a purple city, in a red state, in an already gerrymandered district; when the most recent Republican Congressional representative didn’t win by enough of a margin – BECAUSE WE DEMS WERE OUT VOTING WITH EVERYTHING WE HAD – the state legislature got nervous and moved the lines again. Because she WON by such a small margin, not because she lost. And she only won because the lines were already dishonest.
You should be ashamed of yourself for leaving those weaker and less capable than yourself to just be consumed by dogs. You are a coward and no better than them.
Your patronizing, moralizing, psychoanalysis, and namecalling doesn’t change the new lines in my district one tiny little bit. Hope it felt good, because if that’s what I can expect from people that are supposed to be on my own side then fuck you, I need to leave sooner because YOU clearly won’t have my back.
One day they will be coming for you. Just know that.
No shit, Sherlock. We do already know that. That’s why we’re leaving.
Keep doing things the same way and see how things go. Best of luck. I’m safe and sound in my blue state where things work the way they’re supposed to. And we made it here on very little by the way. We both had minimum wage jobs in Florida. We now have thriving lives in Seattle.
They always wanted death panels. Just death panels THEY control so libs get culled and conservatives are forced to breed regardless of ability to raise a child.

Came to Colorado from Florida. I have zero regrets. Love this place and the people.
It is so, so much better here, in so many ways.
Even in winter?
Don’t mind winter one bit. Tropical storm rain driving translates really well to snow. It’s nice having seasons. The altitude was the roughest transition tbh.
Edit: And the hiking is mind blowingly good.
We moved from Orlando to Seattle a while back. It’s like living in a different country.

Don’t flee, fill. Change the demographic. Red turns blue with better numbers.

That sucks for them. But things provenly haven’t gotten better or fixed under the current way of doing things.
Red states thrive on status quo.
