I’ve been in a bad situation with no way out, and it’s not fair to expect people to leave their homes behind (Looking at our Native American Queers, and our youth). We should be working not just to better our states, but the United States as a whole, for /everyone/. We’re only as good as our worst state. I’ll stand with those who cannot leave.
Dude ‘progressive’ elitism, especially from northerners is actually so annoying. They act like we’re trailer trash that should just ditch everything we’ve ever known, or like it’s somehow our fault for the socioeconomic state of the place we are in. Like man I don’t want to hate my home! I want it to be better!!
Exactly. As if folks from the south don’t have familial ties, financial circumstances, personal circumstances, etc that make leaving either hard or borderline impossible. :( I’m lucky to have been born in and live in California - but I know if things suddenly got super bad over here, I’d be unlikely to be able to leave too. 😭
