All progressives move out of the South.

35. I did, a very long time ago. I got out of Texas by going to a school in the Northeast

Carnegie Mellon) and from there I went to NYU and ended up marrying and living in New York. I loved it!

I lived in Northern Virginia for 9 years but escaped mercifully and came to Connecticut in 1985. I am in bliss ever since living in the People's Republic of New Haven!

I have nothing against the good people of the South who are appalled at what is going on in their states. CT has its own appalling issues and I don't minimize them. But I do feel that I have a real voice here and that I am heard and validated.

That may not be the case in many other U.S. states and that makes me sad. I don't wish any harm to anyone there. If anything, I wish they could be lifted out of that madness.

This is sad. Maybe inevitable. I don't know. I am more depressed than I have ever been about the state of our republic with what I am hearing out of the republicans.

If anything, we should all be pulling together. How sad that it is not the case...
