While we’re at it why are the red states the highest in social benefits and why is it the blue counties in those red state the main economic powerhouses.



Texas - blue Dallas, Houston, Austin


Georgia - Blue Atlanta


Florida - Blue Miami/Southern Florida


Literally there is no proof of red societies being economic powerhouses in this country yet it’s always the blue man blamed for issues in big cities that are really just normal activity that takes place in a large city (homelessness, crime, cost of living because of growth, taxes etc).


Can someone show me a list of at least 20 major cities that drive the American economy that vote red?

FWIW my red state is tops in fiscal stability while being 48/50 in overall tax burden.

And all the state politicians do is complain about what taxes we do pay are too high and what to do to lower them even more.

Not a bad setup!

Republican area economy: Gold, Silver, Platinum, Steel, Oil, Natural Gas, Lithium, Corn, Wheat, Soy, Beef, Pork, Rubber, Cotton, Large scaqle Fruits and Vegetables production, Iron Ore, Coal, Wool, Timber

Democratic economic "drivers": Lawyers, hospitals that charge a fortune compared rural areas and other countries, consultants, analysts, professors talking to the wind, companies that borrow money for virtually zero and charge double-digit interest rates.

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)

And yet, out of the other side of their mouths, these class bigots will claim that the Democratic Party is the party which represents the poor.

Most of the red states are poor because they were run by Democrats for 130 years. They are all improving dramatically under Republican leadership.

Check it out! It is the red states that are money-suckers. Isn't it something that politicians getting the most return on taxes, most SNAP, etc., are the ones screaming fiscal responsibility?

This is such a simpleton way of viewing things. Democrats run all the big cities because they were pro union back when organized labor took hold. They will always run big cities because they buy votes of the union members with fat pensions to keep themselves in power.

What part of your state plays the biggest role in your states success? Is it a city/metro that votes blue? Also how poor is your red state on the list of poor and rich states?

Republicans use state stats because they are trying to hide the fact that they have no solid metro area to showcase when proving success.

Which makes no sense since they literally do it.
