 The "stay and fight" and "only losers leave" mentality, when it comes to living in a fascist state such as Florida, Tennessee, Texas, etc., is simply not valid. 

I don't know who needs to hear this, but it is OK to vote with your feet and leave a terrible situation. 

Would the "stay and fight" and "only losers leave" folks apply that logic to abusive relationships, toxic environments, unbearable employers, and the like? I think not. 

Those who have the ability to leave an undesirable or dangerous scenario should do so. Your life is yours to spend in the environment you choose, and your safety and well-being are of utmost importance.

 @ce0206c9 Move to a swing state and vote there. 
 @ce0206c9
Demanding people to sign a figurative suicide pact like that is toxic, abusive, manipulative bullshit. 
 @ce0206c9 it is also fighting the state when you remove yourself as a local tax payer and participant in their economy. They lose on all future revenue from you, you lose nothing but having to move yourself.
