Well, I got through one.
There was enough material in just one.
So let's go there:
Oh, but it gets complicated. There are 'blue states' that are mostly red in the rural areas. There are red states that have big blue metropolitan areas. And it gets even more mixed up than that. We'd have to split off counties from states, even split MSA's by neighborhoods? by suburbs?
It's complicated.
Has MTG given us a road-map? Or is she just a feces-flinger?
I dunno. I ain't from Georgia.

Ummm, good poster Circe, there are good and valid reasons why folks don't always say what they are thinking? If you think your mother-in-law has a big butt and bad breath.....well, have you told her?
See, discretion, diplomacy, knowing how to work with people and accomplish things is far.....far....more effective than given vent to some brain-enema.
Trust me. Try it.

And she's a friggin' US Congressinal Representative, who took an oath....to preserve and protect.
A friggin' oath! On a Bible!
This gal is from Forsythe County Georgia.....which used to be, during her formative years one of the most notorious....if not THE most notorious racist and xenophobic jurisdiction in America. That is her terroir. It is where her roots were nourished. And that explains Marjorie Taylor Greene.

Well, I ain't worried so much about the food that California or New York can grow.
Rather ....I'd watch what they can buy with their wealth.
Money is fungible. So is wheat. Corn. Lettuce. Almonds. Soybeans.
California, New York, all the 'blue states' can go to Brazil, Colombia, Canada and buy their food. Likely not a real pressing need to send so much of their food money to Kansas or West Virginia.
Those "Red States" can sell their food to each other.
Because, well because the "Blue States" will have the cash to play the world's markets.
And find new suppliers.
I can see that as an argument to be made by someone.

You know, I keep hearing that trope, good poster Meister.
Yet how many times have you....hell, the whole forum.....read the complaints from the MAGA cohort here, from the QAnon cohort here.....that the Blue States are breeding uncontrollably, they have too many poor people, too many brown people, black people, too many minorities.
So, it seems the Blue States really have figured out what uteruses and fallopian tubes, etc. are for.
No?

I think you should, poster PleaseQuit
All that hard red winter wheat, hard red spring wheat, durham wheat, soys, sorghum, rape, sunflowers.....well, you can sell 'em to each other within your state.
I think that would be satisfying. And would really cut down your own personal food costs.
Just sayin'.
