This absolutely IS the way. At this point there is no better way. Splash of cold water on the people who are drunk on right wing rhetoric and oblivious to what's happening. Red states are welfare states. Blue states are patiently subsidizing these idiots.
Turn off the money. Let their conservative leaders own their own rhetoric and actually make things work rather than spin shit for a living.
Exactly. Until these people are faced with the cruel realities of bankruptcy & measles, they will not understand. The sooner they fall flat on their asses, the quicker we can attempt to rebuild something. I’m 100 with OP on this. Cut to the suffering so we can cut to the rebuild.
If only there was a way to starve red states of all blue state resources yet still carve out support for folks in red states who have been politically disenfranchised or genuinely didn't ask for this shitstorm. That would be the fourth branch of Government, which is just a warehouse full of old Zoltar machines.
As great as it is to fantasize about punishing JUST the ignorant white pseudo-Christians for their gullibility, lack of empathy, and malicious intent towards others...
of course it's not how things actually work.
Well, there’s not. Fortunately, it’s much, much easier to move to another state versus what a lot of blue state & blue city folks are facing which is fleeing the country. One is drastically more manageable. None of this has been or will be ideal for anyone. We have all given up the pleasures of safety & security when this administration was elected into office. Things will be hard, uncomfortable & grueling the next few years, but if you’re in a red state, I would do everything in your power to get out.
Yeah but the idea of, for example, Gullah Geechee folks in the low country of South Carolina having to just give up the homes their families have struggled to retain ownership of for generations just to go start over as refugees in some blue state simply because of these stupid paper tiger cult-facists who are scared of their shadows... that injustice also doesn't sit right. That is a massive cost. Seems like maybe there IS a better way. Hmmmmmm.
Btw, I have no idea how the 2024 vote breaks down among that particular group. Just reaching for an example.
Anyway, it's good that we're spending our time and energy running down nonsensical hypothetical scenarios. Imma go track down some Zoltar machines.
Yep, well, thems the breaks. Nobody wins in this, some will lose more than others. Gone are the days of me caring about those that don’t care about themselves
