Is the data so parochial it renders veracity to your statements? When of American adults 64% can't find $500 in an emergency, 35% roll over credit card debt (54m people continually for 12 months,) median retirement savings $200k 65yr+, 48.9% of students who borrowed for a tertiary degree

Honestly living in that America seems exhausting with all the “emotional labor” of being angry all the time.

There is some validity to inhabiting unsafe places and working on building bridges and having dialogs. But also organizing and coordinating opposition to the hatred and rolling back of basic human rights. Purpling the red lands has more impact than being a safe blue dot in a safe blue space.

I’ve lived in both Americas. Obviously, living in the tolerant and safe one is preferable. But it gets really easy to play pretend and ignore the parts of your state and other states that lack the safety. And the folks there not privileged to flee for safer spaces.

Living in Texas is like living in the City and The City, by China Mieville. Both live side by side and have strict unwritten rules about how we just don’t look the other in the eye.

An America without ethnic food? No wonder they're crazy.

Could be safer, more tolerant, and do a better job of spreading that prosperity around.
