America was built on conquest. We are standing against a different conquest

@Wood-Ape - OK/MN Furthermore the people of Minnesota just elected Tim Walz for governor.

Guest on Hannity just now:
"The conduct of Brenda Snipes is beginning to stink like a bucket of fish in the sun"

Haha. So true.

@Hakujin - CA Oregon might be more flippable. Looks like it's just Portland holding it back.

@Jacob The governor election was surprisingly close in Oregon.

These maps show that cities should be [impossible bad optics wignat idea]

You have to remember that the state Republican parties in blue states are a lot more moderate than the national Republican party, though

Washington also elects Republicans on the state level

I don't know if me moving to such a deep red state like Idaho is such a good idea. How about a swing state like New Hampshire?

I just pulled that out of thin air. Literally any swing state that isn't ridden with problems.

I mean it depends what you're trying to do

Idaho sounds nice, but, if your goal is to influence elections, a swing state would be best

Washington voted 52 for Clinton to 36 for Trump

It's gonna take quite a bit to flip

My goal would be to influence elections. As long as I can find a job there. I'm still in college.

Your individual presence will make no difference in elections

1,742,718 votes for Clinton to 1,221,747 votes for Trump

@Ald not with that attitude

Relying on your presence alone is low energy

I mean nothing is decided by one vote

Is Illinois just blue because of Cook county?

Gotta work for a campaign

right

@Ald Very true. But if all California conservatives moved out before their state collapses and moves to a swing state with the purpose of countering the liberal California poisoning, it could be quite effective. Countering includes not only voting, but also working for campaigns.

@Jacob yeah, it really is. It’s like watching a switch turn on in their heads and they go from conscious actor to NPC servo

Logan started canvassing for Rosendale the day we moved here

4,270,270-1,742,718-1,221,747 = 1,305,805 registered voters who simply didn't vote in 2016 in Washington. If we convinced half of registered voters in Washington who simply didn't vote to go out and vote for Trump, we would flip Washington.

Maybe what we should do is hold voter registration drives in white working class areas. @Hakujin - CA

@missliterallywho I think Montana is less red than we might think. You still have Tester, a Democrat governor, and a Liberian mayor in Helena.

Governor of Helena. Lol whut?

@Hakujin - CA yes, Tester v Rosendale was too close for comfort

I just formally introduced myself to my state GOP chair the other day. God the personal cells of the two GOP county chairs nearest me (the county I’m in has almost no hope of flipping red,) but the county that’s just south of here is the reddest in the state. That county’s chairwoman apparently busses people in to Georgia and Florida for voter registration, etc.

Excited.

Georgia needs help

@ophiuchus I'll say.

Northeastern Liberal poisoning.

The area south of Montgomery all the way to the Florida panhandle coast is really weird.

Pretty much no one lives there

Wonder what’s going on with that area

I was also easily the youngest person in that office by 30 years

Sinema winning should only galvanize us further. Not hoping she does though.
