What the fuck does any of this even mean

I’m both impressed and concerned at the level of detail you supplied here, but…thank you? For some of the context
As an American, you just gave a better context for the stuff I did understand than most Americans could.
The colors weren’t red and blue back then, they were Navy Blue (North) and Grey (South). While it’s true that most of the south was predominantly Democrat back then, the events leading up to and including the Southern Strategy in the mid to late 20th century, cause the Republicans to stop being the progressive party, and become the fascist party. The Democrat didn’t really move much to the left during that whole mess. That is why you’ll see the southern states being referred to as red states today, because they are gerrymandered to guarantee Republican victories.

WTF?!? No!
The maps presented on election night had pseudo random colors. One color for Democrats, one for Republicans, and a third for other parties. These tended to change with TV network and election year.
In 2000, the election went on and on and on due to the tight results. In that year the Republicans were assigned Red and the Democrats blue on many networks. Things were contentious.
From that point on those colors were then used as shorthand for areas that voted for Republicans or Democrats. Things continues to present and Republicans tend to wear red, and Democrats blue.
Publishing this and going to find a source.

Actually a great read.
I am now also traumatized and left with more questions than I thought possible
Thank you.
blahaj has trans flag colors
You’re better off not knowing.
I did some googling and it seems like “yankee” and “dixie” were nicknames of the sides in the American civil war. A plush IKEA shark is involved somehow too.
The op seems to be portraying a fictional FtM character in an anachronistic US civil war.

Ew gross no
Pretty sure explaining this to a 5 year old would put you on the SO registry
I’ll tell you when you’re older.
the states that won the civil war are more likely to accept trans people for who they are, and are more sex positive, than the states that lost. in this warzone, a transgirl trapped in the confederacy gets saved from that fate and finds one or more partners who will treat her the way she wants to be treated, and also gets one of the symbols of her past life replaced by a more appropriate one.
A story that Shakespeare could never come close to creating.
Tomboy anon has rape fantasies, fantasies of being a lonely housewife in Dixie who gets Shermaned.
Please, seek help.
What a bad way to end the day.
