Sheeeesh, sorry to hear you're living deep in the red. Proud of my state for being a spot of blue in a sea of red, but hot damn that election map was bleak.

It's so wild how absolutely bonkers the political climate has become just in my lifetime. There was some real optimism when I got to vote for Obama as an 18 year old. Would've never seen all this coming...

I still think musk had something to do with it and not in a strictly legal way. Would explain how he has managed to stay close to the orange for so long unchecked.

The thing is we had Obama and dem control of the legislature and we still didn’t get universal healthcare, or even basic shit like minimum wage indexed to inflation. It’s no wonder low-information voters think democrats suck at “the economy”.

Unfortunately, all this is pretty much a backlash to that event.
