It sure would be nice if it was, but it's not a Blue state. It's steeped in Confederate history, and that's not gonna change anytime soon.
I can personally attest to this:
I've gone back-and-forth in the last, say, 15 years or so between Centrism and Progressivism, because Centrism was "the only way to negotiate to get things done" after Newt Gingrich.
And I was wrong.
And after this total bullshit that is Manchin and Sinema, I can 100% fully affirm that Centrism, in 2021, is nothing but Conservative Light.
I am now 100% burn-it-to-the-ground fuck-these-people Progressive.
It really is Game On for the U.S. right now for Progresses vs. Trumpists.
