I've noticed a trend in terminology

Of late, I've noticed a trend among the Left and Democrats to reframe how they label states. It used to be red and blue states with red being Republican led and blue Democrat led.

What I am seeing is a switch by Leftists in the Democrat(ic) party to using terms like oppressor or oppressed states versus democratic ones. That is, the Left is moving towards labeling red states as "oppressive" or "fascist" and blue states as "Democratic."

It is a typical reframing by the Left when they recognize they're losing a debate. People are fleeing blue states for red ones and it's seriously threatening the Left's grip on power and gaining more power. So, they're upping the rhetoric to inflammatory levels in hopes of scaring people into voting for them.

Can’t say I’ve seen a lot of those who lean left describing Red States as oppressor States

However, I can see where the thinking is, not coincidental that recent gerrymandering in Blue States is done thru a lengthy process with the State’s populace having the final say via a ballot. In the Red States it is done quickly, less than a week in some States, with next to zero input from the State’s citizenry. Add in the racial factor, and it adds to the reputation

And the “fleeing” bullshit has run its course

"Losing the debate"? LOLOL - what's the debate question: "How do you like paying $6 for gas"? Answer: Democrat: "I hate it" Trump voter: "What's gas?".

It's no surprise that you don't pay very close attention.

Abrams: It’s No Longer Blue or Red — ‘There Are Authoritarian States and Democracy States’​


Thursday on MS NOW’s “The Weeknight,” author Stacey Abrams said there were no longer blue states and red states.

Instead, she said that there were only “authoritarian states and democracy states.”

Ah, which isn’t “oppressor States” and democratic States as the topic post claims, try to pay attention if you are going to react

And coming from her perspective, she’s correct, just ask anyone from Memphis

You really are a dim bulb. Authoritarian states are oppressive. And no, eliminating racism from our voting process isn't authoritarian, don't be absurd.

But she did not say red states were the oppressors now did she, and just to educate you, Memphis electing a black representative wasn’t reverse racism, the city is 65% black, duh

Realistic? Red states are "oppressors?" Really? You think that's accurate? Go for it. Give me some proof of that.

One could use Memphis as an example, it is an urban center, 65% Black, and now, purposely, that voting block is spread out amongst three heavily white rural districts. Sure appears Tennessee is trying to oppress the Black and urban vote

So which debate do you think we "lefties" are losing?

The Iran War was a terrible idea?

Tariffs do nothing but raise costs of goods on consumers?

If you mask and make anonomous an army of poorly trained masked thugs and give them total unaccountability it's a bad thing?

I mean, I truly think you've lost this one and although OP's like the one you started hear might sooth you in the short term - like most of your posts, there's just zero connection to reality.

There's no such things as "reverse racism". Drawing a congressional district along racial lines is racist and unconstitutional. One of the illegally gerrymandered districts in Tennessee who had a crusty old white guy will now likely have a black woman. But you won't celebrate that because she's a Republican. Democrats can't stand uppity black folk who don't know their place.

A rather narrow view of this, I'd think.

Climate change
EV's for everyone!
Tax the shit out of the Rich and budgets will be fixed
Handouts to the poor work
Corporations are evil and must be punished
Public transit works
High speed trains are the future
High rise apartments are what people want to live in
Bike paths are vital
Solar and wind power work
Eat less meat
Criminals will stop being criminals if we talk to them politiely
Legalizing drugs will reduce use
Public education works
Unions are necessary and should be manditory
More government is good

We can start with that.

You know damn well you couldn't possibly care less about the black vote, all you and your ilk care about is the Democrat vote.
