      For one, Colorado isn’t the Midwest lol

      For two, not all of us in the Midwest are fascists dreaming of setting up a handmaids tale type nation. A lot of us, especially in the cities, are decent people trying to get by in the land we were born in and will never make enough money to escape from even if we wanted to. I already left BFE and moved to a city, that’s as far as I want to go, I’ll keep voting as left as I can on the ballot to try and save my portion of the nation against their will and keep trying to explain how things could be better to anyone that will listen to

      It’s not cool to generalize a whole region like that. You act as if the whole Midwest is a hive mind.

        if greater society recognized nuance, then we wouldn’t need to make sweeping generalizations. also, you know that in a civil war type scenario, the government will be protecting the cities from the rural zombie hordes, right? calm down.

          Yeah, the ones that are saying not to carpet bomb entire regions based on overly broad statements and comparing people to zombies are the ones that need to calm down. Stay in school kid.
