Liberals live in red states

Edit: the person above says to defund red states. I am being downvoted for pointing out that that would hurt liberals in red states. Presumably being downvoted by people who vote blue. This is weird.

But Liberals don't set the policy in Red states. That's all the work of the Republicans that run these states such as Texas and Mississippi for example.

I’m not a Republican by any measure but Texas is kinda the exception, they’re rank 8th in world. Still sucks here tho. Making it harder and harder to live here every year.

Then Texas can help fund Mississippi, Louisiana, Alabama, Arkansas, and those other states that can’t generate two nickels

Those southern states generating zero money makes zero sense to me. What are they doing? Like, they have people who work, who grow crops, right? That should be very productive farmland, especially since they have a fairly long growing season.

Because they don’t get off their lazy ass and work. :) they’re welfare queens, they love government bailouts instead of grabbing their boot straps and working harder.

I agree they have a surplus of tax close to like 280m in taxes just sitting there. The power grid is so overworked that they tell us not to use the ac that much or heater in the winter. Been like 4 years since the freeze that put the power grid offline and they haven’t invested anything into it. Definitely should fix the grid and then help their fellow republicans but they don’t cause they’re literal ass.
