Oh, god. Someone needs to make a state map color-coded by Gilead-ness.
Like, Texas is 7 Gileads, Louisiana is 8 Gileads, California and Minnesota are 0's (Minnesota is a Safe State, y'all - if you need one, and can afford to come here, you can get your medical needs met and the State will refuse any information requests).
Ah land of 10000 lakes … and basic human rights.
Near the end of Biden's run, the RNC had moved MN to "battleground state." No Pube has won MN since last century, I think. I don't know how we stand now that Kamala is in the race, but: Minneapolis has a surprisingly large black population. Surprising for someone from PA, I mean. Now, I know you can't automatically assume people are going to vote based on race; and Kamala is going to have to be very careful with a "tough on crime" position, because Minneapolis is where George Floyd was murdered by cops.
But, to paraphrase Thunder in Big Trouble in Little China, " Play your cards right, you live to talk about it... as President!"
It must be something in thuh water ;)
Texas seemed to be absent from the closest actual Gilead map haha but I totally agree based on what ive read and heard coming out of Texas
