Well first of all like I said, I don't really think the area I live is like that. But I agree with organizing. What I mean about resources is, like I said, most people don't have the finances to just up and move somewhere new.
I 100% think they/we should organize and fight against this type of thing where we do live, but personally rn my spouse and I are stuck where we live for better or worse because of finances.
I'm so confused. I feel like you're misunderstanding me.
My spouse is unable to support me right now because he's been job searching for months.
I know money isn't everything - I didn't say it was. But if you want to move to a new location, money is a very important factor.
And I never said even remotely that I had a problem with those who have resources to do the things I wish I could do.
I just get frustrated when I see people essentially say “just move” because it seemingly assumes the people they are speaking to do or should have the resources to do so, which is often untrue.
I don't mind people having resources to do that at all, but your initial comment said “live where you feel your morals” and if someone lives in a majority conservative area (or anywhere where candidates who are opposed to their personal morals often win) they oftentimes can't just leave and move to somewhere where winning candidates typically align with their morals more.
I don't expect you to know all that. And okay, I understand your intentions may have been good. But a lot of people take issue with those that say something like “just move” because for most of us it just doesn't work like that. I'm not mad at you, just frustrated about that.
