I am legit thankful that we have such an incompotent brand of fascism in the US. This would have been much harder if they’d had even a modicum of patience or cleverness instead of just cruelty.
Just 2 years and 5 months to go of trumps presidency. We’re 39.6% of the way done with him. The poor in the red states will probably be dead by then, social security gone and the dollar, global trade and markets permanently ruined, but at least it’ll be over. We’ll undoubtedly be at war then too, with someone or another. Probably an ally.

OK.
And yet, to many in those states this will be the fault of the Democrats.
ETA: How predictable.
This is what happens when Fox is basically the default news channel in your town. All you hear is Trump blaming Biden.
You rarely hear the truth. 1) The Iran war raised the price of oil and fertilizer. 2) Tariffs are paid by you, not them. 3) Undocumented migrants are the low-paid labor for the ag industry, and Trump is deporting them.
No sane person would do this shit if they wanted to make groceries cheap.

Let’s just fucken split already and let them have their backwater country. Its not even worth it anymore. You cannot help these people. There is no cognitive function left to save.
Individual US states cant leave peacefully, or the US west coast would have long ago. Our federal laws wont allow it-- its basically declaring war. Except for texas, they made a deal when they joined that they can leave when they want to.
If Canada/Britain or Mexico would agree to take the defecting states on they’d stand a snowballs chance, but otherwise not so much.Its all good, kinda feels like collapse is coming anyway. Can’t leave what doesn’t exist anymore.
Too Mutch inbreed !
Honestly a civil war would be much more plausible if it was geographically based. However majority of the skew is urban vs rural which makes it a lot messier and less likely.
So a post-apocalyptic fantasy rural frontier/urban civilization center split is fully within the realm of.possibility.
With US cities and states beibg pretty autonomous most things considered (for now at leas), it could easily happen without the US splitting as far as the world map goes.
In reality it’s gonna look like random mass shootings.
They’re a threat together and a greater threat apart.
How so?
Wouldn’t red states economies collapse if they were no longer subsidized/financed by the federal government and blue states?
They’ll always be good for cheap labor and no regulations. Think how we spent the last half century outsourcing everything to China or India, it’ll be even better outsourcing to a third world hellhole close to home
And then, what? They sit there and quietly starve to death?
They would naturally come to terms with the practical limitations of their ideology and change accordingly. Or scapegoat their neighbors and go on a murderous rampage.
Ok
Wouldn’t red states economies collapse
Yes, and they’d presumably lash out against the “blue haired woke liberals” in neighboring states. They’d be a raid-based society by the end of year one.
They would become violent almost immediately
Keep your friends close and your enemies closer.
I had to do a double take at the date on that link. Unreal, yet totally believable unfortunately.
I will never understand how vindictive and disgusting Conservatives are.
Biden went out of his way to help red states because he didn’t want people to suffer. And those people blame him for the current president fucking them over.
I just can’t muster any sympathy anymore. I feel bad for their kids, but these people gleefully voted for monsters, and don’t get to act surprised when they become the monsters’ victims.
They’re monsters too (not the kids).
They’ve spent a decade ignoring all facts. All pleas from their family, friends, and fellow Americans to look at things objectively and reasonably. They’ve sacrificed everything to support a felon rapist pedophile and his sycophants. That makes them monsters too.
If they think the red states are goijng to learn any lessons at all, they will be sorely mistake.
Also, the real pain starts after mid-terms when grandmas medicade and medicare run out. Have fun moving grammy into your trailerhouse fucking red state losers.
I’v been watching this with something almost approaching glee.
A lot of the polling places in my red state are in nursing home lobbies. This means it is much, much easier for Ida amd Gertrude to come downstairs and vote strait republican, so they can get Ike into office or something. Some of them have no idea who they are voting for, or worse they see trimp as a towering intellect because he talks exactly like they do.
These people can vote without even going outside. The rest of us have to deal with bosses not letting people vote, or traffic, or no vehicle to get to a polling place, or any number of barriers that a senile old person in a nursing home won’t have to deal with.
My glee comes from the fact that they are voting themselves homeless. Their children don’t have a trailer. They may have a 2 bedroom apartment. They cannot take care of their elderly relatives, or worse, they are already caring for another. There just isn’t any room for them, there isnt anyone to care for them. Everyone has to work.
By and large, the people in the nursing homes voted for this.
You know all of these people will 100% be writing in Donald Trump in 2028
Have the day you voted for.
Enjoy the day you voted for
It’s outrageous. We have enough food for everyone on the planet. How much gets thrown out in the name of capitalism? And these poor misguided souls still blame Biden for this. I have pity for them, but I also think they need to learn the hard way that how they vote impacts them in a million different ways. I just wish their dependants didn’t have to suffer with them.
If they’d just depart the last of the immigrants, we’d get those jobs
–Red States Probably
They deserve everything they get. I feel so sad to all of those who are against the regime but still have to suffer from these decisions. Makes my blood boil.
Democrats fault.
/s
WV was solidly blue until the MAGA cancer capitalized on neoliberal dem failures. Hopefully they see MAGA has been a bigger failure and come to their senses.
LOL. Fuck no.
Im kinda with you. WV is like Fetterman. They wear blue just to vote red.
I CANT believe MAMDANI is doing this to US in West Virginia!
-LITERALLY Free Thinking SMArtt Republicans!
Don’t forget Biden, Obama, AOC, or for some reason, Hilary Clinton.
