I grew up in a progressive city in a gerrymandered-to-hell swing state. Cheeto’s first win promptly sent me into a tailspin there. I’ve moved a handful since but now find myself in MT 80 miles from the border, you know, just in case.
Red up here is different than red down there. There it was like rubbing salt in the wound, here it’s quite obviously because there aren’t enough people to know any different.
I’m nonbinary and have been laid off in Florida about it, so I no longer disclose that information professionally. It’s not the most pleasant, but hey, hiding in plain sight is a really good way to see what’s coming down the pike.
Cheers, used to live there but moved when Gianforte made an example out of that sweet trans public servant from Missoula. I’d pick a blue state to live in if you can. I’m an optimist and think things will recover (with permanent damage) but it’s going to get a lot worse before it gets better :/
