So I dunno if it changes anything

"it" being which book?

The two you mentioned

To kill a mockingbird and scarlet letter

Is this a red district/state or blue?

Blue

But we have a red governor. Flips back and forth

Maryland is a bit of a mixture. It's only solidly blue for presidential elections

And maybe senatorial ones

It's not like most blue places

Imo

MD always seemed pretty Blue to me. I went to DMV and felt completely out of place in MD. But I'll bite.

I've just lived here my whole life

Ironically, felt much more in place in PA.

Yeah pa is way more blue than here

It probably helped I was in western PA.

Yeah

But Philly didn't seem as blue as MD to me.

But it would have also been the DC side of MD too.

Where did you go?

I compared it to VA.

In md

Around DC.

Oh well yeah. That's blue af

When you go pretty much anywhere else it gets pretty red

Montgomery, prince George's counties are really blue. Deep blue

Yeah, I got the impression rich Democrats live in MD. Business happens in DC and Republicans find places in VA.

They live around DC so yeah

Though VA has been trending blue due to DC.

You also have to remember a lot of Republicans aren't exactly wide open about it the way Dems are

You can spot a Dem

It's a bit harder to find the Republican unless they're old and you're assuming it

I think that's actually a problem with Republicans.

I was surprised by how many people love Hogan as governor

It creates a situation where the left is always dominating the conversation.

But will agree, the right tends to silence and 'getting along'

I was surprised by how many people love Hogan as governor

I'm not concerned about left leaning stuff at the state level. I just don't want the fed doing it. I'm a republican even still but until I'm not debating the entire fucking country and instead just debating people in my state, I'm not going to be satisfied.

Don't really follow.

But all politics is local.

The nation follows the states.
