I guess the future of the United States is one where there are certain states that will become big Christian theocracies. And for some reason we’ll just let it happen because our current Supreme Court is bent on supporting this. It’s sad, but I’m really hoping most states can remain sane because the current ones going this way are ones I am not surprised about (Texas, Alabama, etc)
The Supreme Court has been captured by a handful of ideological billionaires. Turns out it’s relatively easy and cheap (if you’re a billionaire) to own a Supreme Court justice. All it took was a few free vacations and scraps from the table to own half the court.
Alabama has been a socially failed state since reconstruction. I don’t know why anyone would willingly live there.
I mean, it helps when people like Clearance Thomas are actively advertising that they're ready to sell out to hurt people.
Thomas was always this guy. People should have fucking believed Anita Hill.
Anyway, nobody had to pay Clearance Thomas to be a giant piece of shit, he was already, taking bribes is just the cherry on top for him.
As a fairly far-left liberal, I'll tell you why I recently moved there. The government and contractor jobs are booming and it's way cheaper than most places in the country, given how good the job market is.
I hate the social environment here, but it's giving my family the financial freedom to live a good life. I really really wish Democrat cities could get their costs of living and housing markets under control, because I would have moved to Colorado, Washington, Oregon, or California so fast. But the calculations just didn't make sense.
I'll be voting for sure, because GA is evidence that a Republican state can be flipped when enough Democrats move to it and vote
this is why state-level land use and zoning laws are so important. take housing policy out off the hands of bored, retired, entitled millionaires and force cities to allow housing
It's all just going to fall apart to be honest. The SC approval ratings are at an all time low. We already have states actively ignoring rulings, like Hawaii. It's going to get really bad before it ever gets better.
we need to defund christian nationalist states, most will crumble without our subsidy
we must destroy religion. there's no alternative, and they forced us to do it
When Trump said "build the wall" I said hell no. Now I'm thinking maybe the wall was a good idea after all... but instead of the southern border, build it around the nutjob states like Texas!
Boom. Problem solved!
