If you dont buy stuff made by americans, you cant talk about fixing the economy. That includes your clothes, your shoes, the $5 coffee from your local shop that you scoff at. If youre a fascist republican all your tax cuts hurt americans who build roads, military machines for ukraine, school buildings and supplies and all the people who work in them. I mean how is firing military members and teachers for how they identify putting money in the economy? Last I checked making more homeless people isnt the solution to people being homeless.
If you're raped in the states where it isn't an exception for an abortion, you can either attempt to convict your rapist OR get an abortion elsewhere and go on with your life. Rape is basically legal there. Ive been stalked and harassed by men in those states. Only places I've thought about needing my gun or pepper spray. I feel a lot safer even in Los Angeles at night. I have yet to be bothered in blue areas. Leads me to think the red states are breeding grounds, literally, for rapists.
Hi, @wokeurajoke-- that’s an interesting contribution to a post that was originally about schools reopening, although I’m sure you have your reasons. Your claim is correct on two points:
(1) You are correct in stating Democratic districts (not states) have higher death counts due to COVID-19. However, the large majority of these deaths (nearly a quarter of all COVID-related deaths in the US) occurred in just 12 Democratic congressional districts, all located in New York City. One can see how districts in NYC, a densely populated urban area, would have a higher death count than more rural districts.
In addition, while the initial surge of deaths due to COVID-19 was tragically large in Democratic congressional districts, and the death count is still larger in those urban districts than in Republican districts, the decline of deaths in Democratic congressional districts has “outpaced the national average” while Republican districts have seen significantly less decline, according to a Pew Research Center study published near the end of May.

Of course, any number of deaths is horrifying and tragic.
(2) You are absolutely correct in asserting that science is your friend. Wear a mask, keep social distancing, and most of all, stay safe!
thinking about how my cool democratic aunt bought me a book about a girl with internalized homophobia in an extremely religious town, that literally entirely applies to me.... do y’all think she knows somehow🤔
