An American politician has been arrested in Hong Kong for carrying a gun into the city, according to a charge sheet seen by CNN, in what he has called an “honest mistake.”
Almost the entire eastern part of the state (minus Whitman county and a few others) is Red. It’s only west of the mountains that it’s primarily blue. The population ratio is massively in favor of west of the mountains though
Like many blue states, the red parts of Washington are probably more racist and fascist than even the deepest red states. Eastern Washington still has a massive presence of out-and-proud white supremecists, just like Northern California and Eastern Oregon.
I-5 corridor is very blue, then you’ve got deer hunting backwoods rednecks on the peninsula to the west and rural farmers to the east on the other side of the mountains
Even around the interstate you’ve got plenty of people flying flags on their houses and their trucks. It’s funny, the fascists where I live have abandoned their Trump 2024 flags for No step on snek. I guess they figure he doesn’t trigger the libs as much with one foot in a jail cell. Or maybe against all odds they grew a sense of shame.
The Gadsden flag, notable for the text “Don’t tread on me,” on a yellow flag with a coiled snake in the center. It’s popular with cishet white male alt-righters and libertarians who feel persecuted for whatever reason. People use the phrase “No step on snek” with a cartoonish snake illustration to mock the idea that the most privileged groups today would ever compare themselves to the people of the American revolution who fought and died under this banner.

There’s a little blue dot in the center of Spokane, but it’s often overpowered by Coeur d’Alene.
…Which is in
idahoPotatoland.Thank fuck. If I had a bunch of those idiots actually in charge in the state, I’d move
Happens in California too. Even in the cities. I’m sorry to crush every rural liberals dream but the religions conservative right are everywhere.

2/3 of Washington State is very rural. Like, drive 65 miles through wheat fields without seeing a house rural. They also have mountains.
Of course. The primary function of any senate in the US is to give power to land rather than to people.
