Blue states funding red states? Which states provide most of the national resources and energy? Most of the military?
Most "blue" states arent even blue when you really look at geography , and alot of the worst poverty in red states are in blue counties? Would the "blue" states adopt their fellow blue areas in the black belt south and hispanic southwest? "Blue" america is a picture of economic and racial hypocrisy
Most so called "blue" states are just a few cities and areas surrounded by red counties, like Washington state, Oregon, Northern california? One of the most viable separatist movements in America is in northern California and Oregon with the Jefferson separatist movement
That's actually an excellent point. Like, California liberals will brag about their agriculture and then say "we" provide the food for America and farming is a huge industry and meanwhile none of the farmers are blue or live in blue areas and actually hate the people who are writing.
In fact, blue cities are to their states as Washington, DC is to America. They sit there issuing orders while the state or country sends them wagons full of taxation. Like, during the recession, Washington, DC was never affected and everyone there was still making six-figure incomes and buying seven-figure houses. And all the liberals there are like "ha ha, liberalism works!" Sure, because the entire country is supporting your one city. Liberalism does, in fact, then "work."
Blue cities effectively impose themselves politically on the entire state. Whereas, in red states, the actual state is red.
Amazing how stupid liberals are. I've always noticed the coastal states require safe spaces, tons of regulation, and supervision, but much of the interior of the country is far more live and let live, and do your own thing.
Wrong, both required the government to intervene in order to force it on the people. It's always hilarious how liberal logic is "I use government to force something on people, and then if you oppose it you are clearly for government." People should be ashamed to write stuff like that, but they do it all the time and with no care about how it makes them look.
They are. Liberals are fleeing from California to Texas, from New York and New Jersey to Florida, and from Illinois to Indiana. It's fact that liberals hate their own policies.
Absolutely, farming is subsidized. But it's actually subsidized because it's too productive, which flummoxes liberals because they're used to subsidizing themselves for being lazy and unproductive. If the government didn't intervene, then prices would have dropped, which means that people would have stopped producing milk or certain staple crops, and then the prices would later skyrocket and they would be unavailable in the interim. And then you'd be on here whining about how only the rich could afford milk or bread and wondering why and saying "the corporations ...!! It's a conspiracy!!" like liberals always do.
P.S. On the topic of food, liberals were the ones who came up with the great idea of burning food as fuel, which led to the greatest subsidies, which they claim to be against in the field of farming. Brilliant move as always from the Ivy Leaguers. "Let's burn corn!!"
"They are. Liberals are fleeing from California to Texas, from New York and New Jersey to Florida, and from Illinois to Indiana. It's fact that liberals hate their own policies."
S.C GAINED a seat in the House due partly by northerners moving in.
N.C. came within a hair's breathe of gaining a set for the same reason.
N.Y. LOST a seat.
Once they retire in the North they realize the can't AFFORD to live there any longer and move South.
Let's see how cocky the conservatives are when their own party wants to take their Medicare and cut their social security. But we always have extra money for a war or for the top 1%.
Or corporate welfare... go figure.....
The liberals sure were when Obama ran things and hillary was running.
Then when Hillary lost all they can do is whine and cry in public, go to their "safe" places and use crayons to "ease" their simple little minds.
" But we always have extra money for a war" That the DEMS VOTED FOR AND SUPPORTED.
Under Obama we have been "at war" LONGER then under any other President in history.
"Or corporate welfare." The dems cintrolled the HOUSE, the Senate AND the White House.
Why didn't THEY do something about it, if you think they cared so much?
"or for the top 1%." MANY of which ARE DEMS.
Isn't it odd, people like you ONLY attack conservatives, yet have a blind eye towards the party YOU vote for.
Disability recipients all have college degrees and live on the coasts? Is there a source for this? I don't know a single disability recipient.
Wait, there's this:
The four counties with the highest percentages of SSI recipients are in Kentucky. In Owsley, Breathitt, Clay and Wolfe counties, between 16.5% and 19.2% of the populations receive SSI benefits.
Your point? It seems terribly important to flyover states to convince us we need them. I don't think we do. We don't feel compelled to tell them they need us. I'm sure they'll be fine.
" It seems terribly important to flyover states to convince us we need them. I don't think we do."'
They need us MORE then we need them.
What do THEY provide us with that we can't provide for ourselves?
We'll be fine. If we need something we can buy it and we can shop globally, just the way Trump does when he bought Chinese steel. I bought cherries from South America at Costco the other day. The middle of the country can sell, or perhaps barter, with each other. As long as my tax dollars stay in blue areas, I would be very very happy with it.
You ARE delusional!
