Actually, the NSDAP was the essential antithesis of socialism in almost every way; they were pro-corporation, anti-labor, and ultimately didn’t give a flying fuck about providing a social safety net except insofar as it got them support to carry out their odious segregationist and ultimately slave labor and genocidal policies.

> [@nelliebly](#): > > OP, I advise watchful waiting. You don’t have much more to fear right now than you had to fear yesterday. See how things shape up in Wisconsin and make well-informed plans as we go along. Wisconsin is by no means one of the worst places to be. Yes there’s better ones, but there’s also many that are way way worse. That said, I think there’s a lot of benefit to being in a major metropolitan area, which pretty much always skew democratic, at least in the city if not the surrounding suburbs. That’s likely why Texas is trending more purple than red, it has so many big cities, and those make up a very large portion of the population. Moving to a solid blue state may still be the best option on an individual level, but as long as we have the Electoral College then making California, Illinois, or New York bluer just makes it more likely that swing states will swing right. > [@Beckdawrek](#): > > I daresay these horrible things that _may_ be done to Trans, non-binary, of color people would more likely happen in bigger population centers. I disagree, because that’s where the support networks are, and also some additional legislative power. For example, Cincinnati has much broader anti-discrimination laws on the books than Ohio, and they’ve added protections before the state or SCOTUS get around to it. Granted Ohio has home rule cities so it’s a little different, and Project 2025 is going to try to nullify any contrarian laws, but I’d feel safer in a major city in a red state than in a small town in a blue state. Of course there’s exceptions, like many of your small college towns, resort villages, etc., or big cities like Oklahoma City or Jacksonville, but as a broader idea I think it still holds. ---
