Another thought:
The percentage of people born in-state in your county probably matters a lot more than state politics do.
Note the "red" counties on this map. 80-100% of residents born in-state.
These are by and large the most abundantly "American" places left.
Due to recent events I'm getting suspicious of the whole idea of "moving to a state with better politics" or whatever.
Imagine uprooting your entire life (at great cost) to "red Texas" just to see the state go blue a few years later.
Many are coping about this but come on, the strategy employed by conservatives who fled to Texas very clearly did not work.
Seems wisest to simply choose where you want to live based on whether it's a nice place to live. If you gotta turn the radio off to enjoy it, then do so.
If you want the NJ shore, go to the NJ shore. New York, California, Minnesota -- whatever, if that's where your heart is happy then go for it and mitigate the negative effects of disastrous Dem policies whatever way you can. Don't get your blood pressure up over it.
There's nowhere left to hide anyway.

It’s hard to not go into public places in America and leave enraged. The society I grew up in is dead, I have nothing in common with half the people around me. Why am I supposed to like that?

Millennials born in the 1980s and 1990s are starting to wonder what all the hard work was for.
Working full-time just to scrape by. Groceries, rent, bills, and basic necessities costing a fortune. Owning a home feeling increasingly impossible. Having little time, money, or energy left to actually enjoy life.
An entire generation was told to study hard, get a good job, work hard, save money, and build a better future.
But for so many, that future feels further away than ever.
Burnout, financial stress, and mental exhaustion have become part of everyday life.
When did simply making a living become so difficult? Surely life was supposed to be about more than working just to survive.
How many millennials feel this way?

If you’re a young man with a backbone, you will be punished in our society. Feminism is our cultural ethos, and any man who challenges it risks being ostracized.
Women will resent that they can’t control you. Older men will see you as competition and hire women over you. “Girl dads” will shame you for not marrying their poorly raised daughters.
You’re expected to work like a slave for no reward, tolerate disrespect, and smile while doing it. All to uphold a system that punishes you for having a penis.
Millions will fight to the death to uphold this, which is why we can’t vote, debate, or compromise our way out of these issues.
When a social framework is this deeply embedded in society, the only way to dismantle it is for conditions to arise where it can no longer survive.
That process is already underway. You can only ostracize society’s best men for so long before everything starts to decay.

Reminder
VIX stayed above 50 for 2.5 months in 2008
If you’re looking for a year-end trade, look no further.
The $VIX has already spiked to around 27. If it reaches 30, I believe you’ll have the last great trade of the year on your hands.
A $VIX of 30 is not sustainable indefinitely. A market drawdown, by its very nature, reduces the risk of the next drawdown as stocks become cheaper, especially when corporate earnings continue to rise.
Seasonality has played out almost perfectly. And the higher volatility spikes, the faster I expect it to collapse.
If the $VIX approaches 30 over the next few days, I believe shorting $UVXY or $UVIX could be one of the best trades for the next four months.
My expected return is 30% to 50% over the next four months.
If you want to be more cautious, you can wait for a potential U.S. attack on Iran. If that happens, I would look to put this trade on the same day, assuming volatility spikes accordingly.
I would structure the trade using options, selling far out-of-the-money calls to finance the purchase of near-the-money puts, while also selling two or three far out-of-the-money puts to reduce the cost further.
I would be happy to get assigned a short position in $UVXY if the short calls are exercised, as that would likely mean the $VIX has moved well above 30.
Position sizing is key here. Position sizing is also your risk management.
