What about us red state leftists?
Yep I live in Missouri, albeit a very blue section (St. Louis) and I know the hicks in the rural parts want people like me to leave, but fuck them, not gonna, just gonna stay here and fight it out.
I prefer the term "red state reds" myself
Fuckin conservatives taking the best color smdh
The color red has symbolic significance of good fortune in China. Incidentally, it is also a symbol of communism.
But have you ever heard the term "red scare"? Many people from the US almost seem like bulls with the way they freak out at anything remotely resembling communism (read: any progressive policies in general), like UBI, raising the minimum wage, improving the healthcare system, especially anti-hate speech regulations (I wonder why!), high-speed rail, protection against infectious diseases, and so on.
Red is one of my favorite colors too! And it's very harrowing to observe how the conservative racists in the US have appropriated and completely shitted on it.
Well I actually am a communist in a red state.
Hence, a red-state red.
Workers of the world, unite!
Nothing to lose but our chains comrade 😁
