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
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.
And state policies can matter as much as federal ones.
They do, but there's too much time spent by the left trying to have fights at the federal level
Turns out its okay to violate the harm/nap if it's for your own good kms
