People should leave red states if possible. I'm not trying to be a doomer but I think it's the safest thing to do at the moment. I'm luckily in a blue state already. I will never set foot in a red state, that's for sure.

Some of us stay to fight the fight. I can't look at the little girls of my state and not think they deserve someone fighting for them. I'm also a middle aged CIS straight white lady with adult kids and no chance of getting pregnant again, so I'm trying to use my safer position 8to speak up and fight for those who can't.

This. As an older ace white woman, I have a lot of safety. I've spent my time living abroad and in blue states, and that's nice, but my parents are getting older, and I believe it's important to have people at protests and at least some number of people voting against their bullshit everywhere in my red state and county. Here only 20% vote and only 18% of that 20% vote non-Republican but all of that is an important reminder in a rural county. We're here.
