It’s awful what’s happening to the country. When I was a kid, I remember my grandparents next door neighbors had Ford signs on their lawn and my grandparents had Carter signs on theirs. They both flew American flags from the front porches and in the mornings it was “hi Dave” and “hi Joe” and at night it was “How was your day” and “firing up the grill this weekend so why don’t you come by with the kids” It’s a real shame what’s happened

The difference between the number of "blow out" counties from '04 and '20 may be for a lot of reasons. One is gerrymandering. The other is that the GOP has gone from a center right party to a fascist one. This appeals to a lot of white Christian nationalists and doesn't to most others. In short, the real estate business is brutally competitive business and this "help you move to a redder area" sounds like a marketing gimmick. If you want to move to Texas, any real estate agent can help you. Also, the political views of the real estate agent is independent of the homes they show you, closing costs, etc.

What's worrying is the diminishing capacity for empathy and understanding towards those with differing opinions. I can't support that mindset. For instance, I have friends with conservative views I don't entirely align with, but that doesn't mean I'll end those friendships. Politics has become akin to a religion for some, driving people apart more than ever. If this continues, we could see a segregation reminiscent of the 1950s, but based on political affiliation - "conservatives only" or "liberals only" instead of racial segregation. It's as if the basic principles of humanity are being forgotten.

[@davidsebastianelli1326]

I like the "old" days (before 2016 and before the Frump cult) when politics along with religion didn't define the person or who you associated with or who you even bothered to associate with....remember when strangers smiled at each other and said "Hi!"? When it was always implied to "Never discuss politics or religion"?... Well, I recently moved to get away from all of that to an amazingly friendly, happy and very affordable place where everyone is warm, welcoming and family oriented! Today I walked about a half mile to a mom and pop store, because that's pretty much all they have here, to grab some freshly harvested organic produce, again because that's pretty much all they have here, and of the dozen or so people who I ran into along the way and while shopping every single one of them said "Good morning!" to me with a smile!...You may be wondering where this place is and if someplace like this even exists anymore....of course it does, but where I moved to they say "Buenas dias!" BTW- I grabbed a liter of some freshly squeezed organic orange, mango, coconut and banana juice for just over $2.00us and avocados where on sale for around $0.42us each. I also picked up a lunch of caught this morning fish tacos con todo (with everything!) for $27 pesos, or around $1.58us each!! Mucha suerte desde la hermosa Mexico!

I am stuck in WA state in the Seattle suburbs. The Greed and squanderance of the State government here keeps everybody broke. The state of WA is poorly run and I would move to ID or OR in a minute if my wife would let me. The entire state of WA and OR is red except for the population centers of Seattle and Portland. In WA they tax everything including the rainwater (this is not a joke). Fuel is almost as high as CA and the State government does nothing for the people they fleece. But bums and able bodied people who wont work get a free ride. I am not a Trump supporter and actively campaign against him, but also campaign against every democrat in State government

Whites only

[@leemartinez2975]

I feel the same way, that is why I choose to live in South Texas where Hispanics are 90% of the population. That means there are no alt-right racist rallies and white nationalist movements down here. Down here you see a few white women married to Hispanic husbands and vice versa . Many people are conservative here for sure but at least they are fellow Hispanic. I get it, sometimes it feels unsafe to be surrounded by people you know that just a couple generations ago they would have wanted to lynch you or through you into jail for refusing to sit at the back of the bus. Remote work has enabled many Americans to go where they are treated better.

Its not smart because politics needs balance and some push back to be the best it can be when its needed. Concentrating a state purposely , they will find people redder or bluer than them and that could be too extreme for either party members on persona level. Sometimes Red benefits from a little blue and blue a little red. This country woulda been 1 party already if it didnt need the other. Those moving for those reasons need to be prepared mentally and maybe financially for dealing with policies that dont work for them that are their own parties.

[@floriom9644]

The need for balance is what's missing in the discussions, debates, conversations, etc anymore--and I lay that square at the feet of the you-know-who's 😔😔😔

[@EmmaTheresa-nl8rs]

That was true once. But when a party becomes so exteme in its vision... Trump will not concede if he doesn't win. In order for there to be a two party system, they both have to agree on a set of rules. When a candidate lost, they admitted it. Now -- if I win, the election is fair. If I loose, the election is rigged. If we no longer can agree that elections choose, then we have a very big problem.
