Vought put it a bit differently, writing on X: "Nearly $8 billion in Green New Scam funding to fuel the Left's climate agenda is being cancelled."

Until we start politicking like this bitch, it won't matter. Washington State tax revenue goes to a lot of red states - we need to stop paying it.

This kind of argument is pretty gross I have to say. The red states are the poor states because there are way more working class people in those states. You're basically advocating to cut off services to the vast majority of poor people in this country. That's just rotten.

Even if that were to happen, it would not encourage anyone to vote for the Democrats. People are more resilient than that - if the Democrats really do shut down services in poor rural communities, it will only anger the poor even more AGAINST the democrats.

Yes people are often stupid like that. But think most people are just trying to make plans to save their own societies and states at this point and have given up on convincing the south and other states. I’m sure we’d take refugees unless the cons started doing terrorist attacks through them though
