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?

    :cringe: you have my deepest sympathies. i'm sorry you have to be exposed to that. yeah i certainly can't claim it's always or even usually effective, but it's worth trying (in my estimation ofc)
