That’s not the end game. Conservatives will never be satisfied with progressives existing in their country, even if in a different state.

No, the goal secession. Or worse.

Yeah I'm not convinced at all that they're ok with us existing in other states. They want us completely and utterly nullified as having any political say in this country. They want us off school boards, out of Congress, out of the White House, off the city council, not moving to their towns, not vacationing in their regions, not watching their sports teams. They want us silent, imprisoned, deported, or dead.

Nice to see someone who understands who we're dealing with. Too bad our President has no idea.

I work in government. Biden has an excellent idea of what he's up against. And he saw how Obama and Clinton talked a good game but got out maneuvered by the right. He's an incredibly effective president, vastly better than I thought he'd be. He's managed to get so much done even with the right going full fascist against him, and he's done it without complaint or drama.

I am honestly baffled when I hear liberals complain about him. He's gotten more progressive goals across the finish line than any president since FDR, and he's not even 3 years in. Is he 100% perfect? No. But he's very very good. I'll take very very good over outright fascism any day of the week.
