I live in an affluent part of South Carolina. It’s become completely overrun with Trump assholes and degenerates. I don’t know how much longer I can take it. Where can we go?
I don’t want the bitter cold of the northeast or Chicago. I don’t want coastal California, it’s insufferable. What are my options? Why can’t we just be fucking normal?!
If options were no object, Pacific Northwest is beautiful and temperate
Stay and run for office. Even under a maga banner…if anything shown we can change this country it’s voting. Also both parties shown that you can change parties once in office. So run win then go full blown progressive while in office.
Durham or chapel Hill? We got lots of libs over here.
You just sound like a miserable cunt so move where ever you want and accept noone wants to be around you as much as you don’t wanna be around them.
SC doesn’t have any blue bubbles? I’m in Texas and i only know about 5 people that i think are probably trumpsters.
Closest I have heard of is Greenville, and its surrounding area is definitely red.
This NBC link on the 2020 presidential election is somewhat surprising, though. Maybe the US Senate results, as they narrow that potential blue bubble down to either Richland county or tiny Allendale.
Only blue bubble I know of is Charleston? But I promise you the white people there aren’t blue voters.
What’s wrong with California?
Too awesome
I’m not from the US, so I don’t know how accurate this is, and I also don’t know if this thing has ever been updated (I found it a long time ago), but there’s this tool that might help with deciding: https://www.whereshouldilive.co/
I am both surprised and not that I got Denver, CO. I’ve been told before by someone that they initially thought I was from there the first time we met.
Apparently I should live in Denver - no idea if that’s actually good though.
What I need is one of these for places worldwide…
I got New York, but I just moved out of New York. Was born and raised there, but I don’t think I’m going back.
It said I should live in San Francisco which is interesting because I already do live there.
Well, should you live there?
I wish there were more cities in America with public transit and lots of bars. Or else I would move.
NYC public transit and nightlife is amazing. It’s pretty dirty once you leave the financial district though. Unfortunately I’ve heard that SF is pretty dirty these days too. Is that true? It used to be my most favorite city in the world, but I haven’t been back in 15+ years.
I’ve got Washington, DC.
That seems like an overly tedious way of entering your preferences. Why can’t I just rank a handful of factors (cheap housing, beaches, climate, politics, diversity) and give them some weight?
You could even make the ranking of the factors in the current style (“snowy winters are [much] more important than beaches”). That would reduce the cognitive load of comparing 3 vs 3 properties many times in a row.
You can do just that. Before you begin the quiz, there’s a link to skip the quiz and directly enter your preferences.
Amazing, I’ve missed that 🤦
Charlotte? Raleigh? DC?
I’m in Tampa and it’s a real mix here, but oof housing cost is out of control.
If you don’t like to be in a city, you will probably be in a backwards place, that’s just how the US works. But lots of mid sized cities are moderate politically.
Yeah we live across the border from Charlotte. The area would be really nice if it could stop stepping on its own dick so much. The public schools are among the top in the nation (believe it or not) but a maga bitch who’s hell-bent on destroying the system just won. The sheriff who won tonight was at Jan 6 and freely admits it. It might be time to get out of here.
First of all congrats on realizing the insanity around you. Second of all there’s probably a lot more moderate liberals in your area than you realize because they’re smart enough to shut the fuck up around the insane maga posse. Be the change you want to see in the world. Stand up for your beliefs. And if you do actually decide to jump ship, just remember there are other parts of California besides the coast…
North Carolina is gerrymandered to hell.
Florida too. Even with the influx of racist northerners, it’s mixed politically here, mixed in every way imaginable actually but you’d never know it looking at the legislature.
I’ve heard good things about Durham.NC.
I love South Carolina and used to visit Charleston annually but I’ll never go again because of the politics.
Ideally, you don’t go anywhere. You talk to those assholes and degenerates and try to understand them a bit better and maybe even try to make friends with them (yes, yes, crazy idea). They are your fellow citizens, after all.
From over here in Europe, questions like this really make America look screwed. Let’s hope it’s not.
This isn’t really going to happen. It’s past the point where you can pretend that they’re even trying to do what they think is right.
Dumb take. I don’t need to sit down and have a beer with my anti-vax MAGA neighbors to understand them. I understand them just fine, they’re brain damaged morons.
Yeah… We’re talking about people who literally want us dead. And because it’s America, they likely own guns. Some of them are literal neo-Nazis or Christian fascists and might actually try to do you harm if you’re Jewish, Muslim, or gay. Making friends with them isn’t just painful and unpleasant, it’s dangerous.
Just to give you a sense of the type of things that you might have to sit through to be “friends” with these folks… My cousin had a kid in her Catholic school class write an essay comparing gayness to bestiality. Another cousin’s husband constantly misgendered my trans sibling on purpose. My parents’ neighbors hung a flag on their wall depicting a person pointing a gun at my parents’ house.
I’ll give you a pass since you’re from Europe and have no sense for the level of extremism embraced by our right wing political groups but trust me… If “just talk to your neighbors” worked we’d be doing it. As it is, your best bet is to avoid them knowing your politics and get out if you can.
Online talk and in person talk differ. I know some people that bluster about how we need to get rid of x kind of people but if you confront them about yourself, friends, or family most people back peddle.
Cincinnati is pretty diverse, but also corrupt law enforcement.
Well I’m in Tucson, AZ right now. It’s a pretty liberal city in a decidedly purple rural state. Mountains and wildlife are gorgeous.
But it’s Tucson…
Exactly! You get to be surrounded by nature, and not concrete and pavement like that other city.
Haha! Phoenix definitely loves to pave over its history.
I have deep roots in Tucson but only went there to visit my grandparent. They lived north of Tanque Verde with nothing around them. Beautiful area but boring as a kid.
I dont know why but this just summoned in my brain the ancient text, the knowledge…
Come to Kenya; we got lions
Come to Georgia. It’s close. We’re a swing state now. We could use your vote.
Georgia keeps impressing me with how much green tech (solar, batteries, etc) are being built out of there too!
Northern New Mexico?
