I live in an affluent part of South Carolina. It’s become completely overrun with Trump assholes and degenerates. I don’t know how much longer I can take it. Where can we go?

I don’t want the bitter cold of the northeast or Chicago. I don’t want coastal California, it’s insufferable. What are my options? Why can’t we just be fucking normal?!

Well I'm in Tucson, AZ right now. It's a pretty liberal city in a decidedly purple rural state. Mountains and wildlife are gorgeous.

Exactly! You get to be surrounded by nature, and not concrete and pavement like that other city.

Haha! Phoenix definitely loves to pave over its history.

I have deep roots in Tucson but only went there to visit my grandparent. They lived north of Tanque Verde with nothing around them. Beautiful area but boring as a kid.

I dont know why but this just summoned in my brain the ancient text, the knowledge…

Come to Kenya; we got lions

Greenville. That downtown is perfection.

Cincinnati is pretty diverse, but also corrupt law enforcement.

I've heard good things about Durham.NC.

I love South Carolina and used to visit Charleston annually but I'll never go again because of the politics.

Why don’t you just stay there?

If you have a good rate you’ll be setting yourself up for a haircut if you choose to move.

Central Illinois - basically everything within 50-75 miles of I-74 across the state. Doesn’t get bitter cold, not overrun with MAGA asshats (among the reasons we left another Midwest state), cost of living isn’t terrible, and easy access to Chicago, St Louis, and beyond.

I guess you could go to Georgia. You could go to Savannah or St. Simons. Make the state slightly more purple.

North Carolina is a crapshoot. Virginia?

Those are your options. Feel free to move to Tennessee: you won't like it, but I'd like my state to turn purple eventually so all libs are welcome.

Edit: I used to live in Macon, and I hated it, but it's apparently amazing to visit now, so maybe you can live there if you don't need to work.

Ideally, you don't go anywhere. You talk to those assholes and degenerates and try to understand them a bit better and maybe even try to make friends with them (yes, yes, crazy idea). They are your fellow citizens, after all.

From over here in Europe, questions like this really make America look screwed. Let's hope it's not.
