    You know that we can’t remove them from the country, right? Your way of thinking is exactly why the damned conservatives are as strong as they are. Ultimately you are giving them their best chance at taking even more political power. You should be ashamed of yourself for leaving those weaker and less capable than yourself to just be consumed by dogs. You are a coward and no better than them. One day they will be coming for you. Just know that.

      No. The damned conservatives are as strong as they are because of foreign-paid propaganda, hatred of the country they claim to serve, love of donor cash, and overwhelming amoral dishonesty.

      If you really want to be heard by someone who has decided they are already fighting a losing battle, may I suggest NOT demonizing their thinking as though this is anything like a fair fight.

      I live in a purple city, in a red state, in an already gerrymandered district; when the most recent Republican Congressional representative didn’t win by enough of a margin – BECAUSE WE DEMS WERE OUT VOTING WITH EVERYTHING WE HAD – the state legislature got nervous and moved the lines again. Because she WON by such a small margin, not because she lost. And she only won because the lines were already dishonest.

      You should be ashamed of yourself for leaving those weaker and less capable than yourself to just be consumed by dogs. You are a coward and no better than them.

      Your patronizing, moralizing, psychoanalysis, and namecalling doesn’t change the new lines in my district one tiny little bit. Hope it felt good, because if that’s what I can expect from people that are supposed to be on my own side then fuck you, I need to leave sooner because YOU clearly won’t have my back.

      One day they will be coming for you. Just know that.

      No shit, Sherlock. We do already know that. That’s why we’re leaving.

      Right… lol.

      Keep doing things the same way and see how things go. Best of luck. I’m safe and sound in my blue state where things work the way they’re supposed to. And we made it here on very little by the way. We both had minimum wage jobs in Florida. We now have thriving lives in Seattle.
