- hattmall 4y agoIt's also ignoring the large number of Californians moving to Alabama. The fact is California is too big to generalize and that's true of most states. The schism between individuals views in Alabama internally is no less than the perceived difference between views of California and Alabama as states.
- jleyank 4y agoNo, but the pertinence of each “side” of views is way different. Whole lot of frustrated farmers in California who are dominated by the big cities. Probably a similar percentage of blue Alabama folks dominated by the Red sea. Generational change is required to alter the non-purple states and it’s not worth the effort for most people to try. Move to where the political climate is congruent with one’s philosophy is far easier.
- greenie_beans 4y agothat's definitely a take. as somebody who is in the political minority, i often feel like giving up. but i also think that giving up is the wrong thing to do.
