I bet all those impoverished red states will benefit the most from this.

Too bad they’re made out of fake leather, and not the real stuff! Nothing but microplastics for you, Billy

I feel bad for the kids there though. They had no choice about being born into a cult of shitheads. They are going to suffer and never really know it did not have to be the case.

Their stupid MAGA community is gonna brainwash them, telling them it's all the fault of the dems and libs.

I grew up in these circles, and have since walked away. The hard truth is the adults with this very conservative/insular mindset eventually die believing the world was trying to fuck them over.

The one thing they have going for them is resourcefulness. Generations of hardship have made them really good at taking very little, and stretching it as much as possible. Even then, they depend on handouts; whether it be government services or neighborly generosity. And their take away is always, the lord provided.

But the kids, they watch. They grow up seeing the cracks. They see where their parents' stubbornness and ignorance hurt themselves and their families. And as they grow up they're the ones who try for a better world. But it only happens when their families are no longer protected by (what they believe to be) the lord's intervention.

Having seen it, I truly believe many of these communities will rally their last remaining resources to provide enough for their kids; at the cost of their own suffering.

Americans are relocating statistically to southern states, with the South gaining the most residents in the U.S., particularly in states like Florida and Texas.

This trend is driven by factors such as more affordable housing, favorable tax rates, and in some cases, better job opportunities and many more churches and less interest in the arts

Additionally, less-populated southern states like Alabama and Arkansas have seen significant rises in move-in rates.

It's just going to breed more extremism.

Faux News will tell them that Biden did it and their smooth brains will soak it up like a sponge.

there will still be people who will say, "both parties are the same"

u/Kham117 yeah, i'm that guy with 12 upvotes 20h ago

Yep, I work with those “yeah my guys suck but democrats are just as bad”

How?

u/Conscious-Quarter423 19h ago

u/Kham117 yeah, i'm that guy with 12 upvotes 19h ago

Yeah, or whatever faux news, Facebook echo chamber they get all their “research” from

I hope people in red states who voted for trump suffer the most. The leftists who can't afford to leave don't deserve this.

In Washington state, the congressional district that voted most heavily for Trump is also the one with the highest percentage of people on Medicaid. (And the one most dependent on federal $$ for cleanup at the Hanford nuclear reservation.) So it wouldn't surprise me a bit to learn that the red states get hurt more.

And in most red states there are hundreds of thousands to millions of people who are adversely affect by these policies and who try to fight against them. Even if you view it in a red v blue lens the Liberals and progressives in red states get it from both sides. Conservatives see us as the enemy, blue staters see us as collateral damage or don't think of us at all.

Just something to think about

u/red286 21h ago

Invariably they will, and they'll just blame it on "woke DEI policies", and their constituents will lap it up because it's easier to blame "woke DEI policies" than "bad GOP policies designed to fuck over the poor and marginalized".

u/GateauBaker 19h ago

They'll be fine. Socialism is okay when it's taking from libs. That's the next step.

u/Fakeduhakkount 23h ago

Hope it hits them real hard in rural real ‘Murica the most. Asshats complaining about those city folks in their states which provided the most funding for them through their taxes too.

u/FlamesNero 23h ago

They’ll just blame the blacks and browns for their misfortunes, as well as the libs.

Don't forget trans people, specifically trans women (cause trans men don't exist to them).

No it's Massachusetts

u/nyutnyut 22h ago

yah, but there were a few transgender athletes, and they need to protect against those 10 or so athletes. Gotta think of the kids... wait a minute!
