how do you move right away? where do they go? how do they pay for the astronomically high rent + deposit? how do secure a job first? homelessness is illegal so where do you sleep during the transitional move? how does a blue state help when the gentrified state does not support all citizens?
also, US citizens have been getting pulled over if their skin is the right tan to look like they are from south of the border been a huge issue for a while now and been a scary thing before this election
I understand all this stuff. This shit is hard. But all that is preferable to just being plucked off the street and effectively disappeared. As bad as it was for non-whites here before, it’s about to get much worse.
And the Blue State thing matters because I believe that Trump will not get Congress to go along with a militarization of this deportation effort, and the existing Federal infrastructure is not enough to pull it off. So he will have to heavily lean on red states who will be happy to send State Police to violate these people’s rights as long as the Feds look the other way. Moving to a state that will not go along with that will go a long way toward keeping them safe
lived in both blue and red states with not much difference
for example, Colorado has swerved right making homelessness illegal and restricting the cannabis market and setting pay below living wages just like red states only the blue states have different wording and policies to achieve the same thing such as overfunding the police
blue and red being different is just a fantasy made up by the donors to get voters into football politics my team is better kind of thing
keeps people divisive and unable to truly realize and solve the problem which keeps the donors rich

You must be living in a completely different state than I am.
It’s always had a “libertarian” streak when it comes to business deregulation, but otherwise yeah pretty blue.
