Americans are segregating themselves by their politics at a rapid clip, helping fuel the greatest divide between the states in modern history.

“One thing we have really found is a place to feel comfortable being ourselves,” Dean said. Americans are segregating by their politics at a rapid clip, helping fuel the greatest divide between the states in modern history.

One party controls the entire legislature in all but two states. In 28 states, the party in control has a supermajority in at least one legislative chamber — which means the majority party has so many lawmakers that they can override a governor’s veto. Not that that would be necessary in most cases, as only 10 states have governors of different parties than the one that controls the legislature

This can only end badly as conservatives seem to have no problem ruling over land in empty states.

    I feel like I will be forced to move out of my state if they manage to pass the proposed anti-transgender laws. 😔

      Move if you must to protect your safety and life. You are a precious valued member of society, and don’t let anyone tell you different.

        Thanks. Luckily I work in Massachusetts, which will hopefully continue to be a trans friendly state. So, i am planning to move there when i can.
