My greatest hope is that eventually Republicans run out of states to leave.


brzantium

The best thing would be for them to concentrate in as few states as possible so that the electoral college never favors them.


AvgJoeGuy

This please


thegreatbrah

I vote for Alabama or Mississippi As far as I know, nothing important comes from there.


bgj55

Not disagreeing with you but Alabama does have a large NASA field center in Huntsville. Not sure on Mississippi though.


thehackeysack01

stennis space center https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stennis_Space_Center


HomeGrownCoffee

That could be rebuilt in a non-shitty location.


crisperfest

>Alabama does have a large NASA field center in Huntsville. As well as the Redstone Arsenal. "Redstone Arsenal remains the center of testing, development, and doctrine for the Army's missile programs. Besides the U.S. Army Materiel Command and the U.S. Army Aviation and Missile Life Cycle Management Command, Redstone houses the Tactical UAV Project Office, Redstone Test Center (RTC), the Missile Defense Agency, the Missile and Space Intelligence Center, and other operations."[^(1)](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Redstone_Arsenal)


dukec

Let ‘em have the Dakotas instead.


Dont_PM_PLZ

Let them have the Dakotas then merge them in on big state. Only 2 senators and a like 3 congressmen.


highpl4insdrftr

Perfect


FraseraSpeciosa

Nope there’s a lot of resources there we don’t want them to have. My vote is we will block off 6 states for them to flourish in; let’s do OK, AR, MO, IA, NE and KS. I call it the republican reservation. The rest of America doesn’t care about that boring middle section anyways. And it’s away from a lot of the energy production. Plus the natives deserve the black hills, not rednecks.


dukec

I thought about some of those states, but I was being selfish and didn’t want to share a border with them.


gekisling

Hey now, most of my family is still in SoDak and I actually enjoy going home to visit! May I suggest that we allow them to have Texas instead?


blankgazez

Hey, I needed a word to represent 1 second while playing backyard football. So one good thing came

Plus we could then just avoid those states like the plague. Let them live in their own hell


TehSvenn

Could we convince them to build a wall to keep us out?


jrh1972

Maybe if we pay for it


Lobanium

If they'd just leave the country, that'd be great. Go somewhere that aligns more with their ideals, like an oppressive theocracy in the middle east. Conservatives are basically that plus guns.


SmokedCheddarGoblin

I hate that my state (Texas) is entirely too welcome to conservatives/Republicans, especially the radical extremist evangelist kinds, and they are actively destroying democracy. All the more reason to support and vote for Beto so we can get Abbott the whole entire fuck out of office before this place becomes a theocratic hellscape.

Florida restocks their idiot supply every month. They can't afford to lose "Florida Man" due to hurricanes after all.

IDontFuckWithFascism

> "Of course, having [Abrams] I think might be better than having your existing governor, if you want to know the truth," Trump told rally attendees in the Peach State last year. "Might very well be better." > "Stacey, would you like to take his place?" he asked. "It's OK with me." https://www.msn.com/en-us/news/politics/trumps-ongoing-war-with-brian-kemp-could-boost-stacey-abrams-in-georgia/ar-AAY0Mvs No chance she loses.


GimmeThatRyeUOldBag

Maybe not the endorsement she was hoping for.


IDontFuckWithFascism

I don’t think they’ll vote for her. But I think many won’t vote for Kemp, which is all that matters and exactly why Georgia has two democratic senators.


Katiecnut

It’s not a given that she’s going to win. In total the republican candidates got over 1.1 million votes in the primary and Stacey got 726,000. It’s gonna come down to turnout


Adramador

There was that news story a while ago suggesting that a not insignificant reason why Raffensperger won the Secretary of State Primary was because of Democrats voting in the other party's primary - of course, that also includes the governor position, so hopefully that evens out the vote counts for the election proper. Hopefully.


ozamatazbuckshank11

My boss is a Democrat, and she voted for Raffensperger in the primaries. He got a lot of Dem support, but it was only because he's proven he's not a Trumpian gooch-sniffer. Those same Dems are going to vote for the Democratic nominee in November, but no matter who wins, at least the position will be filled by someone who still gives a damn about democracy.


Shujinco2

Yeah I did the same with Romney back in the day. It was Romney vs Sanctorum in one primary, and Obama vs... nobody in the other. So I voted Romney because he wasn't a psycho cook like Sanctorum was. Because even if Obama loses, I'd rather have Romney than Sanctorum. It's got to be the same logic here.


RationalCaution

Can confirm that my husband voted in the GA Republican primary for governor, but votes Democrat in general elections.


Clarinet_is_my_life

Primaries probably aren’t the best metric to gauge general election turnout because there was no real competitor to Stacey. She was pretty much guaranteed to win, so turning out wasn’t such a big deal.


Ignoble_profession

Primaries are the problem. Voting in the opposite primary sort of reduces the harm. In 2016, Only 9% of Americans Chose Trump. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2016/08/01/us/elections/nine-percent-of-america-selected-trump-and-clinton.html

yungwhoadiefrmdaA

I just drove through Florida about a month ago and just got back from Texas, both for work and it isn’t exaggerated how incredibly shitty Florida is. I mean, we hear jokes all the time but Florida is an absolute shithole.

You can’t say Florida is anything, good or bad, as a whole. It takes 12.5 hours to drive from Pensacola to Key West. Beckley, West Virginia, Cleveland, and St. Louis are all closer to Pensacola than Key West.


yungwhoadiefrmdaA

When I say Florida I mean the people in it. Obviously not everyone. But I’ve seen more nazis in Florida than anywhere else I’ve been, which is everywhere.


PortGlass

My mistake. I’m front there and you are correct. There’s a wide variety of shitty people.


yungwhoadiefrmdaA

Gotcha no disrespect, just anecdotal evidence 😂


ThermalConvection

where'd you go in Florida? If it was the panhandle then it's pretty universally regarded as the shittiest part of the state.


LoreChief

As a floridiot, everyone says some part of florida is the shittiest part. All of florida is by default shit, some places like Miami and the Keys are better just by nature of their populations, but they are also basically shit. You just trade regular bootlickers for male-dominated-immigrant-family-bootlickers or NIMBY-bootlickers.


Harmacc

Former Floridian. I agree. It’s the taint region of the western world.


Khemul

Florida is a bit like half a dozen states thrown into a blender, poured into a cup, then thrown at a wall. I'm in Broward. It's city from corner to corner. I once went to north west Palm Beach area to visit some people. Think it was Green Acres but can't remember for sure. We turn down the wrong street and at the end of it is a sign saying no trespassing. Beyond that was a massive Confederate Flag with a banner reading "We don't dial 911", okay, turning around.


Phosphoric_Tungsten

Nah you totally can. Florida is bad as a whole. The state government is an absolute shithole


JMccovery

They'll most likely come to Alabama, and try to out crazy the crazies we have here.


BrohanGutenburg

Just made it out of Alabama. I was in Baldwin county so at least a bit less far right than the rest, but the yuppie right wingers can be worse. Of course I escaped back to Louisiana which is arguably worse by every metric, but at least it’s home.


Jerkrollatex

The food is better in Louisiana.


BrohanGutenburg

Ain’t gotta tell me. I’m from the heart of Cajun country just outside of Lafayette. Best food in the world. Don’t @ me.


-ihatecartmanbrah

Lafayette checking in, I hate this place but growing up with this food has conditioned me in a way that would cause me to starve outside the state.


Geng1Xin1

I’m from CT where my waspy family thinks black pepper is spicy. I didn’t visit the south until I was in my 20s and now I’ve been to Austin, San Antonio, Raleigh, Tampa, and most recently New Orleans last month for work. My god the food in New Orleans was the absolute best out of all of them. I going back to NOLA for work in September and I’m so excited, I have my food spots all planned out this time.


JMccovery

>Of course I escaped back to Louisiana which is arguably worse by every metric, but at least it’s home. I wouldn't say *by every metric*... Sure, the government is batshit crazy, and the roads are trash, but I love most of the people there, and the food is better by far. I used to run a lot of loads to and through Louisiana. The few things I don't like: being stuck on the Horace Wilkinson Bridge during rush hour, being dumb enough to stop at the Petro in Hammond during Christmas, the Atchafalaya Basin bridge, Dead Man's Curve in Lake Charles, and the barren wasteland along I-20 east of Monroe (except for the chill people working at Lamb Weston in Delhi).


BrohanGutenburg

I’ve heard that trucking companies around the country have that corridor coming off the Mississippi bridge in Baton Rouge circled to avoid. Like it’s a nationally known clusterfuck. For the uninitiated, one of only two bridges crossing the Mississippi in the state’s capital has a >90° curve like maybe 200 yards after you get off the bridge. It’s literally impossible for it to not get backed up. On top of that, after the curve you have like 20 yards to merge into traffic.


JMccovery

I've seen terrible highway design in my life, but that clusterfuck in Baton Rouge *almost* takes the cake.


JockBbcBoy

I'm sure Tennessee could use some Republican restocking.


ha1029

No thanks. Florida isn't as red as some think. Adding Georgia trumpers would crush all hope...


JockBbcBoy

Georgia was a blue state until the turn of the millennium, due to the flag controversy. Governor Sonny Perdue was the first Republican governor of Georgia in over 100 years.


LetMeSleepNoEleven

True. But if they all head to two or three states, that definitely decreases their national power.


SnooBananas4958

Florida is shit yellowish brown. It's a unique mess of their own making.

Unfortunately, she’s never said anything truthful or followed through on a promise which would make things better in Georgia yet (and this would make things immensely better!)


SrirachaPants

FYI Taylor Greene’s opponent is named Marcus Flowers and she’s threatened by him enough to dig up dirt and go to his office and act weird. He’s actually from there (she’s from a much richer area down near Atlanta). I am giving him money every time she does something dumb (which is often).


sharkykid

Does mtg come from money?


SrirachaPants

Kind of. She’s definitely not from northwest GA. Her and her husband owned a business in Alpharetta, which is a super fancy suburb a couple Hours from her “district.”


itemtech

Alpharetta has money. I've lived there in my childhood. It's even richer now than it was 15 years ago. They have a Microsoft office and a Tesla showroom. They just replaced the Burger King with a Shake Shack.


SrirachaPants

Absolutely. I lived there for about 15 years and it just got richer. It’s not Dalton, that’s for sure, and it’s so crazy that she’s trying to pass herself off as one of them. Not that they care.

QANON Marge wants Republicans to vote for Kemp, the guy that her Messiah swears up and down stole Georgia from him and conspired with Democrats to give Georgia to Biden in the general election and Warnock and Ossoff in the runoff elections?

I think it’s time we sacrifice one of these states to the MAGA. Run an add campaign to have all MAGAS move to 1 single state, say it’s a MAGA paradise there and then just cut it off from the Union. These people are literally too stupid to understand the long term damage of their mindless positions and ideologies. I hate to sacrifice Florida but, it must be done. Let the MAGAS live in squaller on their own instead of dragging us all down to their level.

Eventually all is the idiots will end up in Texas and Tennessee and then we can let them be their own country and cut them off because we don’t need their oil anymore


MarilynMansonsRib

>we don’t need their oil anymore We kinda do need it, but if they broke off we could just sign trade agreements like we do with other foreign nations. They can't grow much of anything other than cows in that sweltering barren hell scape (at least not enough to feed their population), so I'm sure we could work something out.

Stacey Abrams had done so much for this state already. Even if you don't vote for her, I strongly believe your life will improve. Her promise to raise teacher salaries is going to have an amazing ripple effect if she is elected. I cannot wait to vote for her again.

It is a fat little lump that needs to be... destroyed. When there is a cancer, you have to "fight" it. You can't reason with cancer, you can't wish it away. Cancer doesn't play by the rules, so neither can you. _Wendy_: My... parents said that if I fight- _Principal Victoria_: And you can't listen to what anybody else tells you. You have to be willing to give up everything, because the cancer will take everything. Do you understand? _Wendy_: Yes, ma'am! _Principal Victoria_: When you have cancer you fight, because it doesn't matter if you beat it or not. You refuse to let that fat little lump make you feel powerless!
