Are Blue States or Red States Safer to Live In at This Point?

from The Renegade Writer's Mouthy Musings · host The Mouthy Renegade Writer

I’ve been trying to figure out what our next move is, as this domestic terrorism escalates.Stay in my very red state, in the blue city we live in? Or hightail it to a blue state, where we’d planned on living in a year or two. Or fuck it, just haul ass out of the United States while we still can.My Bride and I have differing opinions on the topic. And it’s not easy leaving family and friends behind. Moving with an elderly dog isn’t the easiest thing, either.I talk about this and the execution style murder of Alex Pretti this morning at the hands of ICE in Minnesota in today’s podcast. This has been the most stressful fucking bullshit during the past year of Trump 2.0. It feels like we’re on the verge of a civil war.None of this is normal. I’m having a very difficult mental health day. I’d love your support and to hear your comments about this one. Thank you for lending me your ears.I could sure use a mental health boost today, if anyone wants to help. It’s less than $5 monthly to support independent journalism, and I’d be honored to have you join our Mouthy Militia!
