      I think people who can pretend to be cis, straight white conservative christians have the highest chance of long-term survival in red states.

        Great now people need to go to church and hang out with those two faced grifters. Paying 10% to blend in.

          Most “Christians” have never even cracked open a bible, much less stepped foot into a church. Lie about it. Remember, you’re a Christian now so you’re forgiven. If you don’t sin, then JJ died for no reason.

            I get the feeling that when neighbors turn on each other not going to a church is going to be on the lost. Certainly lower than trans and LGBT folks but it will be there.

              You may be right. But church people can be nosy and judgy. It’s not a safe place to be repeatedly visiting in my opinion.

                Yes but history has taught me if you are not part of the clique you are a target for when things go wrong. It’s like going back to Salem. They literally blame gays and immigrants for hurricanes now.

      Not after fascists fill the ranks of the NSA and mass-surveillance state apparatus. I guarantee that if you’re a teenager they have already captured enough data about you to reliably predict who’s liberal, gay, trans, etc with a very high degree of accuracy; doesn’t really matter though, as fascism will treat every false positive with extreme prejudice anyway.

      Only the kids who go on the offensive and proactively blend in with fascism will remain hidden, if they keep it to themselves and avoid typing it into a phone or computer.
