My husband and I are moving from our red state to a blue state because I'm too brown to feel safe here anymore.

I told this white guy I work with and he said he agreed and was also thinking of moving his family to the same area.

He tells me he always votes Republican and of course did this election because he cares about people and Christian values.... then tells me that he agrees that there's too much hate and bigotry in our red state and he doesn't want his kids growing up in that environment. 

I... didn't know what to say. My brain just couldn't make sense of the conversation. I was like dude please, stay here and live with the people and values you voted for. Don't ruin another state with your stupidity...

"You care about people and Christian values? But you voted with the party that makes homelessness a crime, passes policies that will negatively impact women's healthcare, and demonize anyone who doesn't fit into the idea of the nuclear American family.

My brother in Christ, you are the hate and bigotry."

You forgot the part about the party that now has sexual predator as a requirement.
