LINK How the 2024 elections went for openly non-religious candidates -- Friendly Atheist

There were more on the ballot than ever before. There were more winners, too.

Nov 11, 2024

With the 2024 elections over, a lot has been (and will continue to be) written about the results. Most of it is depressing. Here’s an attempt to find some silver linings.

All these Democrat moving to Canada. It's a whole west countries problem. At least I don't have deep concerns of world war 3 as much.

This idea is not original to me but I finally understand how people can fail an open book test like the ones we had in high school.

A lot has been in the press and here, in Washington State, (considered the bluest state in the country) it has become clear we need to arm ourselves (with local legislation) to fight back. Our governor (who grew up on my island, Lopez) has ended his third and final term but the torch is being passed on to the former state, district of attorney and now governor, Bob Ferguson. He has shown himself to be perfectly suited for the job. Also all nine state positions have been taken by Democrats (there are now no more republicans in high positions). Other things have happened and previously Ferguson had sued the fed s under the first tRump admin. several hundred times and only lots twice. I think it will become another civil war but with the more peaceful Demos taking the legal road. Some states are even looking to our climate change policies as a model. In this state religion is not a prerogative for office and it probaably never will be.

Now if there was just some way to education the MAGA on the east side of the state. They hate Dems, education, people of color - ya know anyone NOT the same as them.

@silverotter11 Unfortunately, it seems we are entering a period of hate. We hate them for all their hatred and violence and they hate us because they are constantly told we are the cause of all their problems. Their side is more prone to violence than we are but, to me, it's just another way nature deals with one species getting out of control and destroying the planet for their own greed and seeming insatiability (now I learned a new word). At least I'm living in a sane part of the state which is, by the way, considered the bluest of all the states. I donated and wrote to Ferguson and now we have all of our states politicians as Democrats. Be prepared to hear a lot more attempts to divide the state. Of course that side is sooo stupid they forget which side makes their lifestyle possible. Without Western Wash. times would be a lot more difficult for that side of the Cascade Curtain.

@pedigojr Thing is I don't hate them. You become that which you hate, thing is it ain't workin' on them.
I don't hate stupid. I will continue to post facts. If the worst of the worst somehow does not happen I will be glad. If the worst of the worst happens I will probably say I tried to tell you. There may be a couple of people where I will go, "I fuckin' told ya so!". Otherwise I'm watching murder mysteries, reading and avoiding the news for the most part. There won't be raging about rigged elections. The media will run after the news like a needy child whose parents ignore it. There will be tons of missing kid found dead headlines, brutal car crashes, ya know - doom. Must keep up the doom and gloom.
I do watch other stuff besides murder mysteries but they are my favs, especially British ones.
