Fuck means testing.
Also this video is :wholesome: AF
This is how you protect the kids .
Rare dem W
But who will pay for Ukraine’s weapons?
I’m increasingly believing the balkanization posting. Seems like what state you live in will have a genuine difference in your quality of life (or already does, for trans people especially)
Seems like what state you live in will have a genuine difference in your quality of life
This is already true regardless given climate change.
Which I think GOPers are all too happy with, since they’ll have their own impoverished fiefdoms like the Dixiecrats did in the deep south.
Idk, they will still try and take control of the blue states
Good things happening, in America!?
Michigan, a state I had wrote off as doomed to fall into maga hell before the midterms but got its first dem majority in 38 years, passed sensible gun reform that will require cops to remove guns from homocide risk individuals or loose their job, expanded the civil rights act to include LGBTQA, repealed the abortion ban, and ended right to work ALL ON THE SAME FUCKING DAY THIS WEEK. All of which has major support from the voters from what I can tell.
It might have something to do with the huge population of Islamic immigrants pushing Michigan’s voting demographics in a progressive direction.
Ehhhh that Muslim population had always been there, and it’s currently said Muslim population pushing the book banning
Everyone I know from Dearborn is a MAGA fan or thinks trans kids need guns.
Yeah that checks out for me too. Most of the progressive Muslims I know/volunteered with were in Hamtramck
I’m honestly just shocked that the Democrats actually did something instead of sitting on their hands
Me too, I think the midwestern states have realized they have an opportunity and are taking it. In Michigan The MSU shooting and the insanity of the right leaning candidates and neighbors of most people seems to have finally broken the camels back in the state (also the bast amount of COVID deaths being from republican areas in the state didn’t hurt either).
Like look up the republican governor candidate who was hand picked by Trump she’s hilariously crazy.
Edit: I should also mention that a huge chunk of the Michigan DNC is now composed of/heavily influenced by what in the US political compass would be considered left wing orgs who have done a great job of organizing, protesting, but then also working within the party when the time calls for it to secure changes and security.
It’s most likely that the republicans have been too overtly gleeful about making life worse for their base, and it backfired for now.
It’s why everything with the GOP is about attacking trans people. As they are an easy target.
The election denial stuff def played a huge roll in Michigan too.
There were so many of them! Also the fact a couple republicans did election fraud while screaming about how the 2020 election was stolen really turned off a lot of center right people.
Thank you based Michigan. At the risk of my liberal soft spot for electoralism showing, finally dems at least attempt to govern, attempt to keep their promises. California dems are complacent as shit, and they do fucking nothing. Look at the high speed rail, this can’t be just that the US is magically cursed to have every HSR project fail, considering that the US invented it IIRC. Since they’re in no rush, they’re taking their sweet time and all it does is federally give the GOP more and more ammo. Not to mention Biden spending most of his term twiddling his thumbs because everyone went back to brunch.
Thank you Michigan, when balkanization comes, may you prosper.
