    The fact that 200 people out in the boonies voted for Harris is so shocking I’d actually believe they couldn’t read and voted wrong before I believed they actually voted for a woman of color.

      I hate this. It’s so needlessly divisive. There are allies everywhere. Stop writing them off because you’re bigoted against them. There’s all kinds of people in every area. Sure, rural people tend to be more conservative, because they live in isolated areas without exposure to new ideas. They aren’t all this way though. Be welcoming of anyone you can find who agrees with you. These people are far more valuable than almost anywhere else.

        It’s the inverse of the psychotic belief that cities are terrifying places where people are getting stabbed or shot in the streets on a constant basis

      I’m assuming, based off of absolutely nothing, that it’s probably mostly young people. Especially young women.

      Keep in mind that voting is secret (as of 2025). For example, a woman can wear a MAGA hat and put the cross next to Harris unless her husband is so controlling to the point of it being illegal.
