In reply to the discussion: I live in a blue state. What's it like for a Democrat living in a deep red state? [View all]Novara
(6,115 posts)We used to be a solidly blue state but not anymore. I lived in California for about 30 years and came back to Michigan 8 years ago and didn't recognize the state. It's gone fascist. The Detroit metro area is still blue and my city is stull blue but everywhere else is solid red.
I often have to travel the state for my job and it always astonishes me to see all the MAGAt paraphernalia because my little blue city is not that. Once you travel outside the cities and through the rural areas you'll see the marriage of poverty and ignorance and they all support the orange motherfucker.
I just traded in my old car for a new one and I'm relieved I no longer am driving around in a vehicle covered in lefty bumperstickers. I have been road-raged and assholes have tried running me off the road.
