Just saw someone say “oh the northeast/upper Midwest of the us isn’t known for its conservative values+bigotry” and Stranger idk how to explain to you how what you personally know a place for is NOT a good indicator of what a place’s actual values are

Like have u seen how fucking segregated neighborhoods are over here? Like Currently. And how gerrymandering is directly done around these segregated neighborhoods to disenfranchise voters, primarily black voters? They were talking in the context of the fucking Catholic Churches out here too like come ON…

#for the record I am white so I probably missed some of the awful nuances of this but like.#my shitty highschool had blue lives matter flags both over the football field and alll over the office #shitty cops there ignored when girls would complain to them about being fucking assaulted btw. worthless cunts #the only neutral bathroom was a cell that hadn’t been renovated in decades #this school had money btw they replaced their library w a tech room and added like 10 flatscreens to the gym’s lobby area
