Also, Washington state, a solidly blue state. But also, let’s not suggest being allowed to drive a death machine is less responsibility than having sex, drinking, or voting.
I’m going to have to press (x) to doubt. They have voted republican in every election since 1964. The only time the Republican candidate has gotten less than 50% of the vote during those years was when Ross Perot was splitting the Republican vote.
Maybe if you’re going back past when the parties switched ideologies.
Fargo can be progressive, I know many of the bars there have historically been pretty LGBTQ friendly, but the rest of NoDak hasn’t as been progressive.
We have a state bank, mill, highly subsidized education system, legacy fund, one of the most progressive prison systems, etc. The state is still full of coops and unions Alot of this is left over from the NPL days. You need to go back further. We also had democrats in the house and senate for decades. You are looking way too superficially. Things are completely different now.
All that was over 60 years ago. Double your original Few Decades comment. North Dakota has been conservative for quite some time now.
Although in 1920 the age of consent was 18 in both North Dakota and Minnesota, or we could go back to 1880 when the age of consent was 10 (so wrong) in both North Dakota and Minnesota. /jk
They also just barely avoided voting for a fucking pedophile who would go cruising for little girls at the mall to the extent that they had to ban him. That state is backwards as all fuck.
The age of consent in Alabama is 16.
Let’s not act like we were expecting much from alabama.
It’s 16 in Minnesota and 17 in New York, but 18 in North Dakota. Let’s not act like a higher age of consent is directly tied to progressive policies.

North Dakota used to be quite progressive historically, just going the other way fast in the last few decades.

So those are more states I wouldn’t expect much from either but it doesn’t lessen the “ew” I feel for Alabama.

That’s a pretty common age of consent, or are you arguing that we should lock up like 40% of all teenagers?
Arguing?
Nah, I’m putting blame for backwards decisions on backwards states. Not here to argue with you ;]
