Red State holdouts

This kind of language is exactly why the whole “Red State, Blue State” misnomer has been the most effective tool of the status quo.

Joe Biden got 41% of the vote in the Kansas 2020 national election. Trump got 55%. A 14% difference is hardly insurmountable. Sure, convincing enough disaffected left-leaners that their vote matters might take more than one election, but when you stop the conversation before it can even start by writing-off entire states as “strongholds” you only ensure that the millions of people trapped in those Republican-ran shitholes will never see how close they actually are to actual change.
