TikToker @lindawtafmac, who lives in Arkansas, offered an NSFW warning for voters in red states as people's rights continue to be taken away.
LindaMac explained why she's so fed up with red-state voters:
"So here's the thing now in Arkansas and much of the South, I'm afraid, and probably every red state in the country. If you are anything other than a white, straight man, your life is in danger."
"Your rights are already being taken away. Wake up, people! Vote, for crying out loud. Register, vote, follow what's going on, pay attention."
"I don't have much longer to live in this world but a lot of you do. For crying out loud, protect yourself, protect your children."
"Get involved! Register, vote, let your voice be heard."
She sighed, then her rant escalated quickly:
"If I could reach through this [screen] and grab you by the throat and tell you how important this is. ... Quite frankly, I marched for all this s**t back in the '60s and now I have to do it again?"
"What the f**k is wrong with you?"
You can hear what she said in the video below.

In Arkansas, where @lindawtafmac lives, Republican Governor Sarah Huckabee Sanders—the former White House Press Secretary to former President Donald Trump—has faced accusations of not having "much interest in governing Arkansas."
Sanders recently justified banning gender-neutral IDs in the state, mirroring attacks Republicans have launched against transgender rights. She also signed an anti-trans bathroom bill and legislation aimed at facilitating malpractice suits against doctors who provide gender-affirming care.
Since taking office in January 2023, Sanders has further entrenched herself with the far-right, most notably by launching an aggressive campaign against Arkansas schools and the LGBTQ+ community within them. One of her appointments, Jacob Oliva, known for implementing Florida's "Don't Say Gay" law, now leads the Arkansas Education Department.
Sanders wasted no time in signing a law that prohibits transgender teachers and students from using bathrooms and locker rooms that align with their gender identities.
Additionally, she approved a comprehensive 145-page education overhaul that provides teachers with a modest pay increase of $2000 per year but simultaneously muzzles their ability to discuss topics related to gender identity or sexual orientation.
Sanders also issued an executive order targeting "indoctrination" by forbidding teachers from discussing critical race theory—a form of legal and academic scholarship Republicans have falsely alleged is being taught to young children—in classrooms.
