Fresh Start Political Thread

Has anyone on the left here, ever lived anywhere, where they were remotely the minority in terms of politics?

I'm from Bay Area, CA, which is as liberal as it gets on the west coast. And Redskins/Team is in the Virginia/Maryland/D.C. corridor.

I'm curious to know.


NJ is a blue state, but my county and town are solid red. I work in a neighboring town that is straight Trump shrines in every yard. I swear to God they go to church to pray to and for him. At least twice a day I have homeowners trying to talk to me about the deep state and why Biden ruined their lives. Im thinking dude your front yard has been littered with old toilets, trash, and broken down cars long before Biden took office but I usually just smile, nod my head, and get back in my car like our friend in the woods.

The infrastructure bill that actually got passed was 2702 pages. I mean, c'mon, no way you can possibly believe a bill needs 2700 pages, if it was actually drafted strictly for national infrastructure. That bill had more pork than a sausage factory.

If anyone here has read a 2700 page book, you're a superior human than me.

The infrastructure bill compared to BBB is childs play.

Over 50% of infrastructure bill was corporate giveaways. One of the reasons I did not really understand why progressives allowed that to get passed first. there are enough in congress to hold their votes and elicit real change for good.

To your other post: I was born in Beaufort, SC and still consider SC my home state but after college I could not bring myself to move back there. I was a military brat and spent most of my life outside Fort Bragg, Fort Benning and Fort Polk. I have had enough of southern conservatism. I also lived in Fort lewis. The western conservative mindset is far more to my liking than the southern.

Elise Stefanik's office is walking distance away from where I live, so yeah, that should tell you a little about where I'm at

This is my idea of how bills get drafted in DC.

Just pass around the pen and everyone gets to write in what they want that benefits them.

C'mon, move to Mount Pleasant, SC, in February. We can be neighbors.

Half my family is from the boonies - hardcore Trump country and they're all solid red. My dad is too.

Sometimes it feels like north and south Korea with how different we are.

This blows my mind lol. I want to be invited to the next Mooby family reunion.

Lot's of great restaurants there be prepared for traffic, bad driving and to put on twenty pounds from fried food alone. Head to Isle of Palms go to Acme Cantina and get the Gouda Grit Fries. Ask them to add some shrimp. Go to Simmons Seafood for key lime pie. Don't ever let anyone see you buy shrimp at a grocery store pick it up at the dock on Shem Creek. Swig and Swine up route 41 for your que. Riverdogs games are the bomb great food and beer. Go opening night to hang with Bill Murray

Nice, thanks for the updates. Luckily I will be working remotely, so I will only have to deal with any traffic for things I choose to go do.

My mom's side of the family is mostly blue - except for my mom (pro-Trump/pro-crazy) and one Q-anon aunt.

I'm glad they never met my dad's side of the family lol.

Both your parents are pro-trump? Man, who says the apple can't fall far from the tree, then roll down hill 5 miles.

When you hear people spew hate for West Virginia remember:

West Virginia has a higher literacy rate than New York or California (86% vs 78% vs 77%).
