Yes, oxymoron I know. But like many of you, I am stuck in :amerikkka:
So if you could pick anywhere to live in the States, where would it be? And why? Ideally where far left ideology is the norm.

Propublica did a write up cross referencing all the climate change maps and found that a few counties in Vermont are likely to be the most stable in the coming decades. So that's where I'm trying to get all my friends and family to move. The piece also listed counties in Colorado being somewhat safe, but there's a pretty large white supremacy contingent there, I hear.
other good thing about vermont is it's close to the border
There are a few solidly red areas like isolated mountain towns, Colorado Springs, the eastern plains, and cattle ranching towns. While I'm not as afraid of those fascists as I would be in Idaho or East Washington, I avoid those areas as much as possible and they'll be indistinguishable from Wyoming or Texas as things get worse. The northern Front Range, so like Denver-Fort Collins, is the left-liberal area which might still have water in a few years. Not as dependent on the Colorado River as the rest of the state, at the head of the rivers we do draw from. Of course to live in that area my rent starts at $1000/mo for a 1 bedroom apartment.
Gotcha. I used to always be surprised when I heard of lost cause southerner type peeps out west, but I've come to accept that the US is on some crazy shit.
It quickly becomes Qanon territory 10 miles outside of any city. I lived about that far from one and the town was essentially a colony of four evangelical churches, dominated by rancher libertarians and cops from the city who lived there instead. I'd imagine that's the dynamic most places though, ours just have big game guns.
sigh. Fun times ahead.
there was a whole contingent of confederate sympathizers that moved west after the civil war, because they could not abide to live among the black people of the south without slavery. think about that: these people thought being around free black people was a bridge too far. such people had a profound impact on the western territories' development and the formation of their statehoods.
you should check out Oregon's early days and laws surrounding black people's rights.
Oregon was explicitly established as a white ethnostate, with all the violence that entails, and continues to be one of the whitest and most racist places in America.
Yeah, it's on my todo list. Currently reading the Counterrevolution of 1776 so I'm getting all sorts of 'fuck white people' thoughts in my head already.😅

It's okay. Denver solved everything by banning ARs.
