5. Got stationed here for work

Immediately registered as a voter so I could be another progressive voice here. I'm also 35, got good healthcare, and a supportive husband.

I do think that anyone who can flee, should, especially if they're a young woman, LGBTQ+, a POC, or an immigrant.

The rest of us need to be the voice that changes things. Be loud about our support of progressive policies. Advertise that we love ACTUAL democracy. Register other voters. And vote, in every single election that we're legally allowed to.

That being said, the moment that this contract is up, I'm out of here, and I'll never set foot in this state again if they don't get their heads out of their asses. Until then, vote!
