I live in an affluent part of South Carolina. It’s become completely overrun with Trump assholes and degenerates. I don’t know how much longer I can take it. Where can we go?

I don’t want the bitter cold of the northeast or Chicago. I don’t want coastal California, it’s insufferable. What are my options? Why can’t we just be fucking normal?!

    Atlanta, Denver, somewhere in Virginia, Maryland, or DC, or possibly Ohio or Pennsylvania. There’s places like Austin and some places in Florida that might have cool people, but the state government is trash.

    I saw Greenville recommended, and this is anecdotal, but last time I was there visiting friends, we (visibly queer) got followed around by this crazy guy with a metal pipe making all kinds of death threats. I love my friends but that sealed the deal for me on not wanting to live there. There are some neat places there ngl, the sex themed desert restaurant was a fun place for a queerplatonic hangout, but it’s not exactly going to be a refuge from Trump supporters.

      I wouldn’t recommend any place that votes red, even if you live in a blue city, because the state’s laws still apply to blue cities and sometimes are even made specifically to make blue cities worse

      Speaking of Virginia, stay in the north half. Down here in the southern part is maga fucks as far as the eye can see.

      One down the road just put up a huge Confederate flag and two large trump flags. Instead of fixing their collapsing roof. Priorities I guess…

    You just sound like a miserable cunt so move where ever you want and accept noone wants to be around you as much as you don’t wanna be around them.

    I guess you could go to Georgia. You could go to Savannah or St. Simons. Make the state slightly more purple.

    North Carolina is a crapshoot. Virginia?

    Those are your options. Feel free to move to Tennessee: you won’t like it, but I’d like my state to turn purple eventually so all libs are welcome.

    Edit: I used to live in Macon, and I hated it, but it’s apparently amazing to visit now, so maybe you can live there if you don’t need to work.

    Stay and run for office. Even under a maga banner…if anything shown we can change this country it’s voting. Also both parties shown that you can change parties once in office. So run win then go full blown progressive while in office.

    Because Putin & Murdoch hate democracy & know new age warfare: troll social media, market fake news.

    With a tiny troll army: Created a party of snowflakes that calls everybody else snowflakes.

    Streaming endless propaganda (Fake News: Fox, Alex Jones etc)

    Why don’t you just stay there?

    If you have a good rate you’ll be setting yourself up for a haircut if you choose to move.

  • I live in a similar part of SC as well. I feel you.

    When I had a FB acct, I wasnpart of my area’s group, and the racists there was insane, even one person litterally was complaining that she moved to this area because she was tired of the north and was looking for the “white parts” of the south.

    If you figure out where to move, please post an update, looking for somewhere new as well.

    45 minutes outside of Portland, OR in any direction will get you somewhere just as rural as the place you left in SC, only with better weather and sane laws.
