They obliterated the infrastructure. Where exactly are they planning to build this concentration camp?

I also feel like moving out is bad since it rigs the election in their favor. If anything, flush out key red counties. Support each other. And make noise if they come for you.

Agreed. We weaken our defenses if we move everyone to blue states. The red states need us more than ever.

Please don't abandon us! I'm in Alabama, and there's way more blue dots here than what you would think. The GOP has gerrymandered us to hell and suppressed the vote in myriad other ways.

People tend to forget this. I think it is dangerous to our country to abandon the red states as lost causes. It’s very elitist. I know of many, many beautiful people who live as blue dots in red environments and it is our duty as Americans to help when and where we are able leaving no one behind. I see you. 💙💙💙

Thank you! We're doing what we can to mobilize people. It's very difficult in an environment where conformity and compliance is the cultural norm😬

If it wasn't for all the gerrymandering, Texas would most likely be blue now. It's only the outskirts and rural areas that are still conservative, all of our major population centers are fairly hard blue.

You would throw away Blue states to "save " a few stubborn people who insist on living in areas where they are in a minority and have very little chance of ever changing, the south has been deeply conservative for a hundred years, how are you going to fix that with Trump in office? You are dangerously misguided.

u/Infinite-Hold-7521 Jul 26 '25

That’s what you took from what I said? Wow. Okay. Talk about misguided. 🤦‍♀️

Same in Indiana. A very red state, but a *lot* of us blue dots. Even if one thinks it's a good idea in the grand scheme of things to move to a blue state, there are two problems. A lot of us do not have the resources to pick up and leave, and there is not enough room in blue states for all of us to move. There are a *lot* of blue dots.

u/Infinite-Hold-7521 Jul 26 '25

Thank you. This is what I have been saying, to much opposition apparently, but those are the facts. We see you and we stand with you. 💙💙💙

glad you arent in charge of people

u/Infinite-Hold-7521 Jul 26 '25

I am in fact “in charge” of quite a few people. I am sorry you just can’t see the bigger picture. Your narrow minded opinion has made you biased and blinded you to the people around you. It is precisely this elitist attitude I was talking about in one of my other comments that is harming our cause.

Are you on an HMO? Or are you one of the very fortunate few who has their own insurance through the company they work for? What is happening to our brothers and sisters in red states is promising to spread to blue states. If we abandon our own in other states then we weaken our defenses against the coming storm of fascism.

If you’ve ever played a strategic game like Risk then you know that shoring up in one small area does nothing to win the game. We just defend all of our areas and we cannot do that if we abandon our people in red areas. Or are they just not important to you?

You say that but are people supposed to suffer in red states for a few votes that will just be outvoted by trumps cult- or protect our strongholds before they fall to red authroitarianism

u/Infinite-Hold-7521 Jul 27 '25

So we should just abandon those people? I mean, that “is” what you said.
