A GOP politician who physically assaulted a reporter on the eve of the election while simultaneously working to take healthcare away from his voters is going to win an election tomorrow. It absolutely isn't.

It doesn't matter one way or the other because a Republican in a heavily conservative district is actually having to fight, and if he wins it's going to be relatively narrow

Arkansas? No. Arkansas is almost totally flat, which is why they had plantation agriculture, which is why the people there are weak. Like, isn't this a basic fact that everyone knows?

Areas with mountains mean that communities have to be self-regulating and responsible. The relatively mountainous areas in the south were areas that refused plantation agriculture and the confederacy.

An Eastern state, like Arkansas, is flat, the people grew up to depend on a slave-holding society instead of being individualistic, so they glorify stupidity and conformity.

West Virginia is a flat, suburban area just outside of Washington, D.C. Like, that is so basic I always took it for granted, are there people who look at it differently? Wow.

What are the Ozarks? What are the Appalachians? My dude, I'm from the west and I give my Virginian/North Carolinian gf poo poo about growing up next to hills, but you're a goddamn idiot

The highest point in Arkansas is 2700 feet.

That is a hill!

The highest point in Arkansas is 800 feet lower than my house in Montana, and I lived at the bottom of one of Montana's lower valleys.

Like, without exagerration, I grew up thinking of "mountains" as meaning places that are rocky, covered with snow 10 months a year, at least a mile above sea level, above the timberline...Like, you East Coast people know that "Timberline" isn't just a brand name for clothing, that is a real thing, an altitude where trees don't grow? You do know that, right?

This is the most bizarre derail. I grew up 1000 feet higher than you did and neither me nor anybody else who grew up there has any problems with referring to peaks not the Rockies as "mountains"

Why is Kentucky so drat poor if it has so much local industry and tourism?

I mean there's nowhere else in the US that has some of the most famous liquor, the worlds most famous horse race, the worlds biggest cave, and the appalachian mountains.

Isn't dollywood there too?

Dollywood's in Tennessee. Right near Pigeon Forge, the tackiest most god-awful looking town that I have ever laid eyes on

This is a ridiculous hypothetical, because my 1L grades would've needed to be a lot better, but I have no trouble saying I'd clerk for Scalia, Thomas, or Roberts, and I'm as poo poo-libby as they come. Alito, though. Man, I know you take the clerkship if offered, but I really loathe that son of a bitch.

Apparently Thomas is super friendly in person. I didn't go to Harvard so he's the only guy I would've had a shot with (if I'd booked every class lol)

What? No. Not knowing what you're doing means you're not good. It doesn't matter he was the terminator. That actually has nothing to do with anything.

Trump has taught me a thing. I hate Liberals. I thought I was one, I had Dan Savage on my phone and listened for years. Then Trump taught me what happens when these people don't get their way. What happens when everyone doesn't agree in unison to everything they say. They loving suck, they whinge and literally cry and 'boycott' but its a joke because they're mostly low income earners so who really gives a gently caress about which lentils you're going to buy this week..

So yeah, I can't identify with these people. It's funny because I guess I was a 'default' Liberal, I didn't really think one way or the other but when I was asked it seemed like the Liberals made sense. But that's only on the surface, when push comes to shove I really don't like who they are and what they represent.

what is this post

Montana is a deep red state that because of Trump's toxicity is having an election that makes it purple. Which means that states that are already purple are going to be trending blue.

Not to sound ~Covokian~ here, but voters come 2018 won't care or care to remember what happened in another state, so using this as a benchmark for the ~growing tide of progressivism~ is *also* a bit premature.

you have a point, but it's less that people will remember montana and more an assumption that the shift in montana is present in the rest of the country as well

Electorate, not country.
And 2016's electorate was some sort of weird mutant that spawned non-voters to show up.

The great democratic project of our time is mid terms, they need to matter, always. Giving into the nihilism of despair is not an option, for the sake of the future.

If there's one good thing to come from Trump, it showed a lot of people that midterms and local races matter. Hopefully we see this in action in 2018
