I'm starting to think some of y'all aren't as progressive as you claim. Mississippi is almost 40% black almost none of whom vote for any of this nonsense. But fuck em because they're a minority. Fuck my gay sister and my trans cousin and me and my wife. All who voted for Harris but have been unfortunately enough to be born in a red state.

I mean at some point you have to realize the state is lost, right? Republicans have the majority of Mississippi residents convinced that it's in their best interests to vote red for generations, they don't want to vote blue to make things better. Their Senators and Representatives in the federal government make our lives worse.

I dunno, it was my understanding progressives are supposed to lift and help folks who needed it. Not abandon them. Cause the flood of refugees y'all end up getting would probably cripple your economies anyways. Not to mention the war that would start as well.

We could afford to help the refugees because we’d be keeping all our tax dollars, not seeing it go to prop up red states. Personally, if we did get to the point of the blue states seceding, I want the blue refugees in red states to have help relocating.
