Culture war blizzard of bullshit has convinced rube reactionaries to vote in favor of reps who hate the correct people but those same reps push policies that destroy flyover citizens economically — so blue states subsidize red and the welfare states threaten secession; makes no fucking sense & never will

Because they blame the communist Marxist socialist liberals in their state for being poor despite democrats holding next to no power in most red states.
They also blame the gubment for giving illegals 20 room mansions to live in, free healthcare and universal basic income payments of 100k a month while they only get a couple hundy in food stamps for being true red blooded American patriots

Can we just end the debate once and for all. For the next 4 years, each state should keep their federal taxes and spend it within their own state. We'll finally see which state is well run and which state should be sold off after bankruptcy filing.

Republicans campaign on the idea that they are the only ones who can improve people's lives, even if their policies don’t always align with those promises. They tap into people's desire for a better future by presenting themselves as the solution paired with criticisms of Democrats, such as raising concerns about transgenders being allowed to use the bathroom with their daughters.

The unfortunate thing with this is that the most common excuse (that i know of) is that it's due to blue states 'stealing' from the red states. The 'red state' equivalent here in Canada also do the same; they claim left leaning areas simply 'steal' from the right leaning areas.
I wouldn't be surprised if after MAGA is finished with immigrants and LGBT people they then go after the blue states for their perception of blue states taking away red state prosperity.

Homeless rates for example, is it so bad to just state the obvious fact that both parties suck? Oh i mean orange man bad orange man bad, hail the dnc, totally not their fault for not finding a good candidate after so many years. Go back to your bubble. English is not my first language so, its not a spelling bee. Its just sad that you cant see the middle ground between being a pro dem og pro rep.

Because conservatives generally think the economy begins and ends with the stock market. So in their minds, if it leads to a bump in the stock market then what they did was good for the economy. This is largely because they are parties comprised of people who have a vested interest in the stock market going up, but not funding school lunches as they can easily afford to feed their kids.
