No, move to them. We have to change them and we can't do that if we're all in California, where we're destined to fall into the ocean in 2018 anyway.

Seriously, for as lovely as Wisconsin and Kansas and Arizona and Louisiana have become under republican leadership (and how awful Kentucky and Ohio are going to become), it's not going to help us if we just give up on them.

SEPTEMBER 1, 1939
by W.H. Auden

I sit in one of the dives
On Fifty-second Street
Uncertain and afraid
As the clever hopes expire
Of a low dishonest decade:
Waves of anger and fear
Circulate over the bright
And darkened lands of the earth,
Obsessing our private lives;
The unmentionable odour of death
Offends the September night.

Accurate scholarship can
Unearth the whole offence
From Luther until now
That has driven a culture mad,
Find what occurred at Linz,
What huge imago made
A psychopathic god:
I and the public know
What all schoolchildren learn,
Those to whom evil is done
Do evil in return.

Exiled Thucydides knew
All that a speech can say
About Democracy,
And what dictators do,
The elderly rubbish they talk
To an apathetic grave;
Analysed all in his book,
The enlightenment driven away,
The habit-forming pain,
Mismanagement and grief:
We must suffer them all again.

Into this neutral air
Where blind skyscrapers use
Their full height to proclaim
The strength of Collective Man,
Each language pours its vain
Competitive excuse:
But who can live for long
In an euphoric dream;
Out of the mirror they stare,
Imperialism's face
And the international wrong.

Faces along the bar
Cling to their average day:
The lights must never go out,
The music must always play,
All the conventions conspire
To make this fort assume
The furniture of home;
Lest we should see where we are,
Lost in a haunted wood,
Children afraid of the night
Who have never been happy or good.

The windiest militant trash
Important Persons shout
Is not so crude as our wish:
What mad Nijinsky wrote
About Diaghilev
Is true of the normal heart;
For the error bred in the bone
Of each woman and each man
Craves what it cannot have,
Not universal love
But to be loved alone.

From the conservative dark
Into the ethical life
The dense commuters come,
Repeating their morning vow;
'I will be true to the wife,
I'll concentrate more on my work,'
And helpless governors wake
To resume their compulsory game:
Who can release them now,
Who can reach the dead,
Who can speak for the dumb?

All I have is a voice
To undo the folded lie,
The romantic lie in the brain
Of the sensual man-in-the-street
And the lie of Authority
Whose buildings grope the sky:
There is no such thing as the State
And no one exists alone;
Hunger allows no choice
To the citizen or the police;
We must love one another or die.

Defenseless under the night
Our world in stupor lies;
Yet, dotted everywhere,
Ironic points of light
Flash out wherever the Just
Exchange their messages:
May I, composed like them
Of Eros and of dust,
Beleaguered by the same
Negation and despair,
Show an affirming flame.

I'm doing my part to keep Indiana from jumping that particular shark don't worry. A lot of these states may go Trump which is funny because Trump's state level policies are just Walker 2.0

It's a tough sell to move to a state that is down to 4 days a week for school or having to eliminate public defenders or is last in every QoL metric and still keeps voting in the people causing this. Maybe they need to fail spectacularly to serve as a warning

Yes, which is why the liberal brown-shirts' actions in Chicago will help Trump not only on Tuesday, but also in the general election.

No middle of the road American sees ONE pro-trump old guy throw one punch at one rally at a protester, then sees thousands of anti-Trump deranged liberals trying to start a riot, getting physical with cops, celebrating the silencing of speech, chanting "F*** THE POLICE," threatening Trump supporters, etc. and says to his or herself "Hmmm..., I think Trump is responsible"

Only blind partisan leftists think Trump lost the PR battle on that front, and it's pretty funny seeing them basically argue that they are animals who are easily set off into a rage by speech they disagree with and can't be held responsible for their own actions.

Mr. and Mrs. Middle America Slob Idiot Swing Voter aren't buying it, and are now more likely to buy into Trump.

"Our candidate is so intensely disliked that thousands of people showed up to protest his rally and run him out of town, and he isn't even the nominee yet.

I prefer to look forward, and on that front Pence is in for an ugly fight to a Democrat challenger soon and he's pretty unpopular, due in no large part to the opposition he's received every step of the way.

It isn't ideal but Pence hasn't even been able to get an RFRA passed in the same amount of time that Brownback and Jindal turned their states into rolling tire fires in a dumpster factory
