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?
"this can be as easy as saying you hate liberals. I think this usually gives them a pause of curiosity, because their exposure to politics has been nothing but binary, so suddenly you are not the enemy anymore and they want to know more."
this is too true
that's a big part of how I got switched. I despised the impotence of 'liberals' and all their fake pandering while they do nothing about an issue, but the only alternative to them that I knew was the right wing, so that's almost where I ended up.
