So Proud to be Living in the Bluest State...

...in the Union.

Listening to Reps talk about the ACA and that there is NO death spiral. Watch what can happen when a Blue State is dominated by the Democratic Party.

Every election year, we have to study which of all of the Dem candidates to support! BTW, I live in the bluest congressional district of the bluest state, and we sometimes have over 300 pages of voting guide info to study before voting. I wish everyone had such problems!

But we are currently suffering under a GOP Governor. Due to a very low turnout in 2014. We can and willfix that in 2018.

I understand California is poised to begin suing the living shit out of the Trump administration. And as Martha Stewart would say, "It's a good thing".

Not only a red state but an especially red area within the state.

I've always hated it, but now I really, really hate it. I can't help but think that my stress levels would be better if I at least didn't feel like there was literally no escape from any of this...can't go on a walk outside without knowing that most people around me are Trump voters. I just want to feel like I'm around people who understand me I guess. Life here is lonely.

I can't imagine being surrounded by Trump supporters. It would drive me mad.

There is one advantage you have...When things fully fall apart, you will be in a unique position to look then the eye and sarcastically thank them for their vote.
