Republicans are the ones behind trump. Dems want him out of office so true Americans can survive. Repubs are so hateful and dishonest.

When can the red states stop supporting The Dictator Criminal Deranged Buffoon Psycho in the Oval Office? He and his republiCRAP allies are the ones who are causing ALL the problems in women's health and health care. They need to stop prying into women's private lives and leave them alone. THEY are the ones who are causing all this chaos. The RED STATES are the ones who are funding all the chaos, not the blue states.

Thank you. I’m also pragmatic, but finding optimism harder and harder to hold on to.

Until the red states really feel the "cost" of the administration's plans and chaos as well their own abhorrence for blue states, they are never going to understand the depth of the pain they are inflicting. I too would like to see the blue states discontinue supporting the red states and basically let them fend for themselves. A little practical education would do wonders in red states and in DC.

The reality is that there are many people in so-called "red" states that vote blue. Just like there are many people in "blue" states that vote red. Abandoning the people who are too poor, too young, too uneducated to get an abortion is cruel. Rememeber, these women may have been raped, sexually assaulted, or trapped in abusive relationships. I am an old white woman who wants to help protect the rights of young, brown, black, native, gay, trans or other people who are in need of support in these visious times.

I am a BLUE voter in a RED state. What a dilemma! No one in Congress or state Legislature to turn to. As a Substack subscriber, I am forwarding influencer writings in messaging and social media. Trying my hardest to raise consciousness of other BLUEs. Each of us needs to do our part to build a strong community with truthful info!!!!!
