    American red states are really bloody bizarre ngl, genuinely astounds me how they can be that full of homophobic assholes in a supposed western anglophone nation.

      i don’t think it’s much different than canada’s alberta or the australian outback and you have figures like murdoch who help them revel in their prejudices.

        True, I suppose similiarish divides in terms of.how they’re artificslly created by the ruling classes can also be seen in northern British towns, constant media exposure to soak the struggling working classes brains in culture war bullshit to supress any element of class conciousness. Porkies have also been using god forsaken social media algorithms for the same ends as im sure you know.
