This hits home because I just got custody of my gay niece from Florida. (I’m not sure if it’s much better in TN with me.). She asked me last night why I cared about politics. I explained to her that my votes now shape her life for when she is an adult. I try to use that reframing with all my conservative friends. It’s not about me, it’s about her.
Unfortunately most conservatives are from the f*** you got mine school of thought.
Empathy really seems to be the main divider of leftist vs cons (conservatives.) Leftists care about other people. They want to make the world better for everyone. Cons dont.
If your Tennessee is like the rural Tennessee town I live in... They don't care.
It's a shame really.. these people here in my town absolutely vote against their own interests and then tell you you're a tool / mouthpiece of the devil if you attempt to introduce actual fact into the conversation.
Blows my mind how limited people tolerate of themselves.
Not exactly Rural but this gives me hope seeing another dot of TN blue on Lemmy. 💙
Yeah we are out here.. as you know they've tried to gerrymander us out of existence.. but we are still here. :)
Tennessee is pretty bad for gay kids.
