It is one of the most interesting aspects of the rightwing bubble that they think the rest of the country is looking at them as a model.

The rest of the country looks at the red states as a freak show. Those rural inbred populations in NY and CA who are jonesing to move to MS and KS? By all means, please move to them. Let's gather all the rubes under one leaky, freedummy roof. It will make the inevitable and long overdue mitosis that much easier.

Above: give the purples to red and the stripes to blue. All problems solved. NC and WI might want to think about turning blue but if not, then not.

I still say the blues need to do a takeover of Utah, Idaho, and at least the Western parts of Wyoming and Montana. The rubes don't deserve it. It wouldn't even have to be hostile necessarily. They are so uneducated that it shouldn't be a stretch to trick them into moving to Kansas or Mississippi.

I would be willing to have UT in the first world -- it's the most beautiful state in the US by a factor of 73.

Fig 1. This is real. It is not Photoshopped. Compared to this, wherever you & I live is a garbage pile.


Mormons are totally bizarre but they're actually a successful population. Unique among all conservatives, they are hard working, charitable, and humane. If all of red America were Mormon we'd be able to stay together as a country. They're lunatics, don't get me wrong; their attitudes towards women are iron age nonsense, their theology makes Catholicism look rational, and their founders were obvious con artists. But they actually take care of their poor and homeless, and they aren't moral hypocrites.

Like a reverse Trail of Tears?
 
A theory of why authoritarian backlash is currently so strong.

BLUF: the dying generation lashes out at the orientation among the healthy generations towards ascending Maslow needs.

They feel their numerical power cratering in terms of what the market of ideas supports -- the public sphere turns away from them with horror. Their brains are dying so they remember the past as paradise. And they are attacked and offended because their learned hatreds, which they associate with mommy and daddy and Jebus, are now publicly exposed and reviled as hatred. Plus, they live in areas segregated to their belief systems, so they wildly overestimate their positions' popularity. They have no idea they are the freaks, not us. They pull out of all normal public interactions like public school, and isolate themselves in a homeschooled, fundy-churched, Echo Chambered bubble.

A dead end social group is being sent to bed (forever) and it is throwing a tantrum. The conservative parties are cynically leeching off them to cash in on one more decade of stealing from the middle class to fatten the rich.

But the actuarial tables (above) will take care of it. We just need to keep fighting and keep them from destroying the Earth as they die off. Which they are. 3k a day. 21k a week. 1M a year. And each of them is being replaced by a GenZer -- the most tolerant and progressive people in our history.

Idaho is where all the Aryan Nation members keep moving to, though. Might be more trouble than it's worth.

Did you get those from Drew? He's an actuarial table guru.
 
Much as I don’t hate this happening to Congresswoman Boobalicious (or really, that she brought this on herself), I’m not a fan of the theater or its security company releasing that footage. No issue that the cameras are there, and when you’re in a public space you should have no expectation that you will not be filmed. But I still think it’s a crappy thing for the theater to release it - those cameras should be there for security and/or legal dispute reasons only, not for voyeurism, titillation, or advancing a political agenda.

Edit to clarify: crappy != illegal, nor even tortious

Meh, she brought that on by lying about why she was kicked out. The tape likely wouldn't have been released if she'd acknowledged it up front rather than attempting to portray theater security and her fellow patrons as overzealous. I don't blame the theater at that point for proving that she was kicked out for legitimate reasons.

Yeah, ok - fair enough, especially on the vaping part sunce that’s really what got her kicked out. Guessing that nobody even knew about the groping until they went back to review the tape. Even stupider on booby’s part since she DID know what they’d see on the tape….

She didn’t know. If she knew, she wouldn’t be Boebert.
