Why pick that border to respect? Do you have political influence in South Carolina? Was your state one of the handful that hasn’t voted the same way in every presidential election of the last forty years? Is your senator a Republican in a district that could have gone either way if you had personally mobilized a couple dozen non-voters?
Because I sure fucking don’t fit into any of those buckets so leave me out of your “we”.
Look man suit yourself, but I’m an American living in America so I’m in the we here.
The problem of dividing up the states into red and blue America and disassociating with everyone that falls into the other camp is that regionality doesn’t save you from anything. Rhetoric doesn’t save you from anything.
There are pro-vaccination people in red states and there are anti-vax morons in blue states. Trump is president of all of them and RFK, Jr. runs the department overseeing disease control federally, not just for South Carolina.
I live in California and there are many Californians that were instrumental in pushing the nonsense that landed us here. Orange county is a hotbed of anti-vax morons. I am a citizen of this country, and this country is full of stupid idiots. We are stupid idiots. Collectively.
We’re all humans of Earth too but I can only work on my little pocket of it. I’m no more responsible for what happens in Senegal than I am for Texas or Florida or Pennsylvania.
We are stupid as shit.
Are you lumping yourself in with anti-vax South Carolinans with that “we”? Because I sure as fuck am not.
I’m American so yes.

Eh, people that live in Senegal aren’t your compatriots unless you live in Senegal.
I understand the desire to dissociate. It’s the easiest option. But we as a country are still fucked regardless.
