seeps into "our" states (water, climate warming gasses, radiation) and we don't mind watching the soil disappear in the midwest, the south, and the west, the natural treasures including Yellowstone, critical forests and permafrost in Alaska, the Everglades, etc. disappearing along with a host of animal species, maybe what's left of Monarchs and honeybees....

... and no blue states.

There are only reddish purples and bluish purples.

It is a deadly misrepresentation to imagine that every blue person in a so-called red state is as red as the state.

But regardless of emotion, it is a stupid wrong idea.

Perlman gets it wrong.

They can get the fuck out of my blueish purple state or get on board with the politics of the state. I am suck and god damned tired of them standing in the way of helping people, and instead arguing against people or outright being evil to people. They can get the fuck out.

The vast majority has the red states continuously continue to vote the wrong way, no matter the ethics and such. It is not the government that is the threat, but the people who keeps the red states red that gets in the way of progress. This situation was not by choice. That is just how I see it.
