Voting against one's own economic interests...Politics gone awry.

[BluesLegend]

You want to know why those people rejected your party? Because for the past several years you cared more about social justice warriors, illegal aliens, environmental extremists, what bathroom someone was allowed to use, and constantly insulted the intelligence of rural Americans, as opposed to addressing the issues the average American actually cares about.

It's really not hard to figure out.

Agreed....the DNC alienated 1/3 of the electorate who still want a white male in charge, darkies in back of the bus, and a return to confederate mentality....basically the "deplorables."

The DNC called, they want you to stay off their side.

Appalachia not that long ago was solidly Democratic. Now it's solidly Republican. Go ahead and keep telling them all what a bunch of dumb, inbred, redneck, racists they are. That campaign strategy has been absolutely gangbusters for you dumb asses so far. Run with that attitude with the blue collar voters in Michigan next year too and help elect Senator Kid Rock.

Too bad you don't have any Idea what real racism is... lol

Red states are nearly twice as dependent on the federal government as blue states.

(yawn) The usual fake news.

What people like little nat don't tell you, is that the red states that get more Federal money, get it because those are the states where more military bases and other Federal installations are located. And the Feds put them there because thy knew far more conservatives would volunteer to serve their country than liberals.

The liberals love to point out that red states get more Federal dollars. They're less interested in telling you why... for obvious reasons.

Appalachia not that long ago was solidly Democratic. Now it's solidly Republican

True..........southern states turned to "democrats" after that SOB Lincoln....a republican......freed those slaves, taking from those southerners their BIGGEST economic asset.

Hell, do you folks forget that Gore ....a democrat....could even carry his own birth state.

Beyond the incessant "we won with Trump" mantra often voiced by right wingers, there should be the sanity of reality which occurs a bit later, sobering up the silly chanting.


Truth be told, red states that voted overwhelmingly for Trump just haven’t been pulling their weight.

Red states are nearly twice as dependent on the federal government as blue states. Of the twelve states that received the least federal aid in return for each tax dollar they contribute to the U.S. Treasury,TEN of them voted for Hillary Clinton—and the other two were Michigan and Wisconsin, barely won by Trump in a temporary loss of sanity.

By the same count, 20 of the 26 states most dependent on federal aid went to Trump.
For example, Mississippi [in]famous for being 49th or 50th in just about everything that matters. When it comes to sucking at the federal teat, the Magnolia State is the undisputed champ. More than 40 percent of Mississippi’s state revenue comes from federal funding; one-third of its GDP comes from federal spending; for every dollar it pays out in federal taxes, Good ol' Mississippi takes in $4.70 in federal aid, and one in five residents of that state is on food stamps.

So, what do these red states do when it comes to electing a president?.....They succumb to demagoguery and lies....and vote in the very worst person whose economic (and health) plans are aimed at royally screwing them......Wolf-like Populism in orange sheep clothing.

Bottom line: The generosity of blue states' contribution to the federal coffers, is slapped down by the stupidity of those who were the beneficiary of that generosity.

Parts of this thread were from Why Blue States Should Exit Red America

Being on government assistance programs they know how it's harming them.
They can't afford to get off of it ,because the government asks for money back that they gave you and they can't afford it.
Just like the S.S. you the surviving spouse have to pay them back on the last months check.
People have to keep that much in savings in order to do it.

California with the MOST military bases than any other state is a RED enclave??? Who the hell knew......LOL

 

[nat4900]

And the Feds put them there because thy knew far more conservatives would volunteer to serve their country than liberals.

So, all those military bases were built in red states AFTER the end of the draft?

Can you be any more stupid? The military overwhelmingly supports conservative policy's...

Then, like we do for some addicts, Republicans aim to practice "tough love" on those red states....(do they know that???)

 

[sartre play]

We all need each other, every state provides and produces some thing that other states need. states are not colors they are blends of many colors. I did not think Hillary would win because what is normal is that every 8 year term we turn it over to the other side. you know doing the same thing and expecting different results. we tried for something different with Obama, now we try again for something different with Trump.

I think nat is a bit slow in the head... if you go by county everything he says is wrong, he watches too much politically correct tv.

Yes they know that and they like freedom.

Ask yourself what issues they are voting for. What do the voters think are their interests? Or you could get out of the way and let the Republicans actually cut those subsidies. But instead you hope to win elections by along the voters stupid.

Wages are the number one problem for the middle class. Republicans and corporate America aren't interested in fixing that problem.

/----/ there are top paying jobs for qualified people. If you're to lazy to get the training that's not the GOPs or Corporate America's fault. It's your fault.

By not keeping wages commensurate with cost of living? Keep it up fool....

Either are the Democrats. At least a million union jobs went away under NAFTA. Those were good jobs that the Democrats tell us are gone and not coming back. Things are still manufactured. Just not here by us.

Same old lies from the same old fascists.

The 2003 "study" your bullshit was based on included Military bases and federal parks as federal aid to red states. Mississippi has the 2nd largest black population of any state, so you might want to tone down your demagoguery, Herr Hitler...

Figured it uses those outlays as part of the equation.

You want MOAR TRUMP? This is how you get MOAR TRUMP.

Your sniveling un-deserved and un-earned sense of smug arrogance is what defines progressive twat-waddles such as yourself.

 

[bitter clinging swiftie]

Hillary promised to raise my taxes and give my money to her mooching loser deadbeats

She did????........WOW, what a meanie....Were the "mooching loser deadbeats" in states like Mississippi and Alabama.....or do you mean those "darkies".....LOL

MS and AL are two of the darkest states in the union.
