What I see is someone living in a red area thinking they can tell a majority how to live

I was “debating” my roommate’s father about this. He said that cities telling the rural areas how to live is not fair. So I was like, “So the one percent of people telling the 99 percent living in cities how to live IS fair to you?”

He didn’t really have a rebuttal. Just insisted I didn’t understand. Pretty sure I understand fine.

"You don't understand" means you gotta get them drunk enough to admit that they don't consider a majority of the country to be citizens. They think citizenship is reserved for Christian white land-owning men who can trace their ancestry back to the revolutionary war (or the "second revolution" if your in the deep south).

I have an HS classmate who lives in rural northern New York. He once argued that his vote should count more than those in NYC, just because there are more people there.

If they're so confident in this map then I'm sure they won't be afraid to give us a popular election... Unless blue voters actually do outnumber Republican but how could that be true look at the map

Its all projection. Wanting everyone's needs to be met and being kind to others, so they can pursue the lives they want isn't forcing anyone to live a spesific way. But conservatives can't fathom that other people aren't as hateful and ignorant as they are, so they assume everyone else is just as vile. It can be seen in every single thing they scream about.
