Despite the name, I really like Trae Crowder, the LIBERAL Redneck. He talks about the south and how it isn't all that bad, and quite frankly I agree with him.

  • The south is the most diverse region in the US
  • 35% of the LGBT community in the US lives in the south
  • Texas, for example, is actually a pretty blue red state, and Georgia flipped as of recently. Sure, Georgia will flip right back, but it shows that these places are not lost causes.
  • Virginia has pretty consistently flipped, and it was once a confederate state
  • Voter suppression is the enemy here.

Don't get me wrong, I know electoralism will not save us, but it is at least a sign of changing attitudes. So what has been the best way to get people to come around?

    not really red state but in a red county

    1. be a cute white het couple

    2. have the man be muscular and confident

    3. everyone now agrees with you. its important to have the girl nod and point and add in little interjections, thats my job!

    legit we dont even fluff our shit up we are just like 'yep we're commies and youll love us, god bless guns, agriculture, and redistribution of wealth from billionaire to poor'. convinced plenty of libertarians that commies arent bad. weirdly, theyre the easiest to do this with. might not change them into being leftists but it does get them thinking / not showing up to protests against you

    edit: or in the case of my bf, he got his manager to scab on his boss and aid a unionization effort after we invited him to dinner :lenin-shining:
