@MakerWerks I get that feeling, but someone posited an argument for the opposite that I found interesting.
There are red states and blue states. California is blue by a wide margin. So much so that they could afford to lose some and still be a blue state. But a swing state could easily start to lean blue or a red state purple if the overwhelmingly blue states emigrated some people to there.
@MakerWerks that sucks. I'm sorry. I hope that you can hold out or the winds start to change.
@AI78 I have lived here long enough to remember having good Democratic leadership like Ann Richards. I vote, donate and have volunteered over the years, yet we just keep sliding rapidly towards the maga abyss. They claim to worship a Christian God, but their actions clearly indicate the deity that carries real weight here is Mammon.
