This is ironic because republicans look at anything in a simpleton way when it benefits them more than anybody.

As cities grow, then tend to vote more Liberal. There is no secret behind it. More educated, more open, diverse, etc this breeds liberals.

Isolation, small communities, less diversity and less openness, this breeds Conservatives.

I would argue neither side could thrive without the other playing a prominent role.

We are not #1 in long term fiscal stability and simultaneously bottom of the list for taxes because of liberals, I promise you that.

Republican areas are going to love Democrat Joe Biden hyper-inflation because rural areas benefit from high commodity prices.

I am going to laugh when we have hyper-inflation and commodities which mainly originate in Republican states prices skyrocket while the liberal blue states have all the inflation.

Economic powerhouse? Per-capita and adjusted to cost of living Republican states, especially small ones do far, far better overall than liberal Democratic cities.

It is true that Republican states tend to have slightly lower household incomes, but housing, taxes, health-care is a fraction of the cost.

Republican states tend to have older populations which means more SS and Medicare because they don't have a tremendous amount of babies they can't afford.

Republican states are full of commodities (metals, timber, energy, vast majority of agriculture)
Couple of questions?
What facts make you say rural hospitals (if you can find one) charge less?
What hyperinflation of commodores? Oil and gas prices are way down.
Housing is cheaper; but other prices (cars, restaurants, groceries) are similar.
So red states have a lower fertility rate?
And “slightly lower” household income is an understatement.

You are going to be terribly disappointed and frustrated when that hyperinflation never arrives.

Can’t we at least agree that the proposed stimulus package favors the poor?
