Gee, you mean just like how those Far Left Marxists don't like being reminded of the sh!tholes their BS ideaology helped to create around the world from the USSR to the CCP to North Korea? :jester:


Swap "Far Left Marxists" for Leninists and I'd 100% agree.

But, if you insist on trying to lump Marxists or leftists together as a whole, not so much, even Emma Goldman was disgusted with the USSR after living there for awhile.

But yes, the basic idea is that utopians don't like to be reminded their ideology can't create a utopia.

I vote for them because they protect my gun rights and the other party attacks them.

They don't like being reminded their ideology creates s**tholes when they believe their policies are essentially utopian in nature. It isn't politically correct to notice that outcome.

I dont think Texas is a crudhole.

Indeed, could not pay me to live in any of those states, or any red state, period. I was born and raised in Oklahoma, and left a couple of years ago. I know what it's like living in Oklahoma and I never want to go back, ever. It's darn well not safe as a woman who can get pregnant. I would never have ever wanted to risk getting pregnant in OK, knowing that the state would value a fetus over me should the pregnancy turn out to be too risky for my health. (Oh yes, the "exceptions" supposedly exist, but those "exceptions" are not going to be fairly applied.)

Add that on with the way they tried to force Christianity on me when we're supposed to be a country of freedom of religion, and the fact that every single county voted for the disgusting, vile sex predator to be president all three times he ran. I can not tolerate being around such depraved people, nor can I trust any of them.

In my new state it's very possible I'll never be able to own a home whereas in OK I was to inherit my parents' home (of which they are now planning to sell because they can't stand living in such a depraved area, either). But some things are far more important. I left for "Life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness".

Personally as far as red states go I actually prefer Florida. It may get bad weather and its the home of those bizarre Florida Man jokes, but Florida is a really mixed bag with people who move here from all over and the general attitude here is relaxed, accepting, and friendly.

It's basicly like the California of the Southern States. Plus there's a lot of fun things that cater to tourists here like the beautiful beaches. :)

Ya and Florida only became a red state pretty recently. I still remember when it was a swing state.

That would make perfect sense , Both parties . If they gave medals out for ignorance in Politics .
If you did not live here all these years , and had not seen it. You wouldnt believe it. but it might be a tiny step up from the others , Texas not included . Have known people there and its certainly not as two faced as here.

Leninists are indeed both far left and Marxist, but not all of the far-left are Leninists or Marxists.

I'm sure I'd have a more nuanced view of it if I lived there, but that's true of a lot of places that outsiders might label a s**thole too.

Conservative policies seem to lead to places being much worse to live in, as though they're innately destructive to the building and maintaining of societies.
