I mean, he would destroy the part of the country that already sucks, like Kansas. California is proving this point, and other states will join in.

We'll keep all the blue states (which are gdp positive), y'all can deal with whatever Russia offers you lol.

I’m a trans woman in Kansas and I’m going to continue my survival plan of never leaving my fucking house

Or, you could save money and move to to Illinois.

A part of me wants to but I don’t really know if I could live out there on my own. Specifically Illinois would be amazing cause my boyfriend lives there but I have problems I’m trying to work through that means I need to be near family. I don’t have really any money at all. My life has been a big mess since my dysphoria got so bad but that is a long story. Safe to say yeah if things get really really bad then I’m going to have to end it the sad way. I’m in no condition to survive in a collapsing society or in a prison. Any time I’ve seen someone bound or in cuffs in media recently I get such bad anxiety cause I’m so scared that will be me soon. Why does every show or game have people locked or tied up?
