I am just over two years from having moved from NC to California. I lived in a city there, though not one of the big ones.

Yup. John Oliver put it really well when he called it the “clown town,fuck the world, shit show”. What’s super frustrating is republicans have gone so far right on basically everything that letting trans people use their bathroom of choice is considered “progressive” or “liberal”. It’s not! It’s just common human…

This entire election cycle is just like one really bad fucking joke. I can't even begin to imagine how bad we look to the rest of the world. The republicans are really bringing the collective IQ level down.

If you think backwards, bigoted behavior is unique to the south....gurl.

I hadn’t actually but I just did and in our defense it’s hard not to seem smug or self satisfied when the opposition is so far up its own ass it’s tonguing it’s own colon. They just keep acting so damn stupid. Again, I know that sounds shitty but I can’t believe we’re having national debates over shit like bathroom…

Exactly how I feel. If it makes me look snug or pretentious or what the fuck ever, I don't care.

No I do, I sound like an asshole. I shouldn't judge a whole region since republicans do that and that makes it hypocritical. But at the same time.... Gays don't do anything to warrant the hate from small minded bigots. African Americans don't do anything to deserve the intense scrutiny and distrust they receive, it's…

You must have read that Vox article. I mostly disagree with the premise, sometimes it’s not being pretentious or “smug,” Republicans really are just that stupid.

Oh, believe me, you don’t sound like an overeducated liberal.

Ok, I’m gonna sound like a typical smarmy over educated liberal here but....shit like this is why people think of the Republican Party as “the stupid people party”. It’s also why that saying “if you want to see what life was like 25 years ago go to the south” is becoming so prevalent and incredibly true. I know that…
