I don't deny that there's some nationalist rendencies that are coming up but they come up because people feel like the system is not working for them People feel disenfranchised That's the prime mover, not racism. When people feel like they have enough and their families are healthy and happy and safe, they don't worry about the foreigners in the neighborhood.

nice point about abundance. (just like wild animals) with abundance, beings have less fear & don’t fight as much when there’s enough to go around. w people, when they feel safe and secure, stress-free, long-term shelter, food…they are more open to kindness. can be calmer to think better. but these ~persistently~ red states generally have the worst outcomes in everything…education, divorce, mortality…i dunno many, many others. they are not as smart…they cannot govern well/have worse cultures…are more racist & misogynistic. is domestic violence highest in these states? they are obviously way more racist. …so they vote for team racism/misogyny. that team is trump maga.

you're an asshole dude uneducated.country people are often smarter and if they have "worse cultures" whatever the fuck that means, its usually because their economies have been exploited by elitist assholes like you

worse cultures (sure, nebulous concept) produce worse outcomes as mentioned already (lots of numbers)…like mortality, obesity, divorce, education or whatever…things resulting from things/culture internal to the state, not due to out of state exploitation. of course country folk like a farmer can be much smarter than whoever…i’d say sometimes much wiser. but not if they are racist/misogynist. conservative leaders always make poorer people poorer. racism/misogyny clouds judgement and these red state ppl vote against their own interests, voting for conservatives bc they do not think straight bc they are low education and racist/misogynist. something like that. their racism/misogyny comes first…in their culture more…so they have worse outcomes and make things even worse by voting for conservatives. if they are disaffected because they are struggling, if they were smarter and not racist/misogynistic, they’d have voted to improve their situation with harris…instead, they just always vote for republican conservatives because that’s the only place racists and misogynists are willing to put their votes. it’s just facts.

so much for "beauty" you are an ugly person promoting ugly ideas thats YOU bro not Republicans nostr:nevent1qvzqqqqqqypzq8e9ft5sngmtqqqv8d50x6uj4tgk3aznyuja0nvmvl6mpyyg7gf9qyt8wumn8ghj7un9d3shjtnddaehgu3wwp6kytcpz4mhxue69uhhyetvv9ujuerpd46hxtnfduhsqg8jsl5xfpru4wcqazd4vvyd7t67hdys9ljyhnp8vu28t9jezv9nry467pf5

wha..? yes. facts. data points and statistical facts. i do not see how merely stating facts make someone ugly. that’s preposterous. makes no sense. maybe you’re defensive for some reason, but your taking offense doesn’t make something untrue either. the facts are not ugly ideas. they’re just facts. kelce is so beautiful. he totally supports swift, another beauty, who was for harris and vehemently against trump, an extreme uggo—the ugliest uggo of all ugly uggo’s. trump, chief uggo. 🫡 you’re definitely some kind of gd uggo to vote for such an uggo. ~not~ ugly, however, for stating (uncomfortable to you) facts.

Trump is also ugly. But all these things all these things that you're seeing and all these judgments that you're making that is YOUR mind it is not some objective reality that you are privy to. Ugly 👎

well, i can definitely see how the straightforward truth can seem v offensive. and i can also see how i may seem a bit unforgiving, since these things may be too blunt & difficult to hear. im sorry about that. it is a bit ugly to be unforgiving or not gentle enough with one’s words. i could perhaps have taken more time to say things differently or acknowledge that lotsa people just go with the flow around them and don’t really think much about what they believe or what they do…so many of these people who are voting for a great big ugly monster actually aren’t really conscious of what they’re doing, and they’re not intentionally trying to be horrible themselves like trump. there are nice enough people who follow along with things that they don’t totally choose themselves or are treated poorly by others and are getting confused about what’s good. any way, again, i am so sorry. i don’t mean to make nice people feel bad, and you are obviously a very nice person. ✨🙏✨🖖 🧡💜

You've used the correlation of years in school with wealth and then assumed a whole lot of things about character. Unfortunately it's pretty common to pick the facts and statistics to support bigotry. I'm seeing so much of that right now among people who assume that their years of schooling and their media choices make them "educated." If there's one single thing that lost Kamala this election, I believe it's this arrogance. Both because of the condescension it breeds but also because it precludes genuine curiosity and learning about the issues that matter to voters.

your “facts” are ideological garbage points you’ve partially created, and particularly regurgitated, to anchor your religious need for certainty and belonging to, so you feel less afraid. youve become the biggest obstacle to your own freedom. i hope you get free❤️

if you’re not part of the racist and misogynistic demographic even though you’re from a low education state, that’s awesome! one of my major, major crushes was a guy from nebraska. he’s literally one of the best guys ever as far as i know. im sure he never would be offended by facts. i want everyone to feel belonging to humanity and the goodness of the universe, but people who are poorly educated or ill-natured are attracted to and feel connected to ugliness more often than not.
