My hometown is one of these red areas, I haven’t been back in almost a decade and I don’t plan on returning any time soon. I disagree that they’re harmless; hate crimes against queer people have only gone up in the past few years. It can happen anywhere, but it’s way more likely to happen in one of these red areas.
I say what I said because it’s true: Most are just ignorant morons. That is to say, they might be persuaded by the right candidate. OFC there are still some dangerous piles of shit. There are dangerous piles of shit everywhere. Just because the dangerous pile of shit might be the sheriff in these places does not make these places unreachable or worthy of a “no-go” status.

this is not a place for a poc, or a lgbtq+ . it safe if you are white and straight.
Nope. Safe otherwise, too. You do not understand the DEEP cowardice that permeates these fuckheads.

It’s not and it’s weird you’re this fixated on hand waving away crimes against queer people.
You go places you feel safe, I’ll avoid places I feel unsafe.
sure but if you say that to women Theresa outrage about victims blaming… sigh
I can still be assaulted in places that I feel safe 🤷♂️
Also a lot of places we feel unsafe it’s a problem we’re unsafe there
