RULES:


I am looking for mods!


1. The "good" part of our community means we are pro-empathy and anti-harassment. However, we don't intend to make this a "safe space" where everyone has to be a saint. Sh*t happens, and life is messy. That's why we get things off our chests.

2. Bigotry is not allowed. That includes racism, sexism, ableism, homophobia, transphobia, xenophobia, and religiophobia. (If you want to vent about religion, that's fine; but religion is not inherently evil.)

3. Frustrated, venting, or angry posts are still welcome.

4. Posts and comments that bait, threaten, or incite harassment are not allowed.

5. If anyone offers mental, medical, or professional advice here, please remember to take it with a grain of salt. Seek out real professionals if needed.

6. Please put NSFW behind NSFW tags.

I don't know anything about Kentucky except the fact they invented KFC.

Kentucky elects total scumbags. The kind of politicians that attack scientists, take bribes, cut taxes on the super-rich. Surveys show Kentucky love Trump. So I assume that Kentucky must be really bad place full of evil people.

I generally judge a place by the kind of politicians that they elect.

Wyoming is the most pro-Trump state in the US. I would never go there. I think the majority of them are very backward and violent people.

Maine elected Bernie Sanders. He is an honest man. So I really like Maine.

It’s hard not to read this as an indictment of all red states.

But yeah, let me counter with every state is large and has different areas, plus it’s the people that make something a nice place or not.

You could equally write a manifesto of hate against many things Florida. However I have a friend who moved there and he’s still a great person, as are his friends and neighbors. The politics of hate and corruption do not affect everyday life that much
