In reply to the discussion: Fewer Americans are moving to Florida and Texas, new report claims [View all]Paladin
(30,354 posts)34. Not much point in defending brain-dead prejudice---even from fellow Democrats.
Referring to Florida and Texas as "shithole states" without any regard for actual voting patterns, is a long-time, genuinely unfortunate aspect of Democratic Underground. I've been calling people out about it for years, but I'm beginning to see there's no point to it; haters are going to hate, no matter what. I say that with sadness and as a life-long Texan and Democrat, one of 4.8 million Texans who voted for Kamala Harris.
