(53,661 posts)But I think there should be a red state support group. There is the southern progressives group and state groups but I think you guys need one.
It's the reason I left where I grew up (well, and the heat) and the reason I freak when I go back to visit. It's not at all like it was, the landscape in every way has changed. More like the old south was.
Or even worse. And people wearing their hate on their sleeves or rather trucks and being so discriminatory. I think this thead should make it a bit easier for those in other states to understand what you're going through. Depressing. Outnumbered. Being drug into the last century.
It's harder I think, to have never known the kind of unity and tolerance and forward thinking the red states once had, and the grief of a new world that is nothing like one expected.
Best wishes.
