Our Electoral College system gives them power; power which they use in most of those states to defeat Socialism and Communism. Give credit where credit is due.
The South uses big Fed government the most.
They get more Medicaid, Social Security, Welfare, Disability,Food Stamps, not to mention all the Military stimulus that goes into paychecks, or military pensions, military college funds etc.
The South are a bunch of idiots.
We'd be a far greater country without them.
PS.
I don't care about defeating Socialism.
Socialism is actually a good compromise.
I care about defeating Capitalism, Globalism & the Synagogue of Satan.
Yes Commies too, but contrary to the opinions of Republicans social programs aren't necessarily Communist.
Please....the US Communist Party supported the last three Democrat presidential nominees, and couldn't say enough about Sanders.
Defeat capitalism, and you defeat the country, because nearly everything we have today is because of capitalism.
The first pushes for universal healthcare movements came from Germany & the UK.
Universal health care - Wikipedia
Yeah, Capitalism is also responsible for everything wrong with American society too.
Fascism has the best economic growth record, and NOT Capitalism.
- Franco a basic Fascist guy achieved the #1 economic growth period in 20th century Europe in the Spanish Miracle, only 2nd in the World to Japan's post WW2 economic miracle.
- Hitler did far better on the Great Depression recovery than had the USA, Great Britain, or France.
- FDR a guy who basically supported Fascism lite, achieved the #1 economic growth in 20th century America.
PS.
Modern China's economic miracle , and Japan's economic miracle also are Hybrid systems, or basically Fascist like.
If it's not broke, don't fix it. If you think other countries are so great, or have a better economic system, you can leave the US to live there and try it out for yourself. If you find it was not all it was cracked up to be, you can always move back to the US of A.....if they let you. But once you turn this country into one of those, and find out it was a mistake, there won't be any other USA to move back to. It will be gone forever.
I say preserve our capitalistic system and continue the success this country earned and deserves.
The USA is broken & dumbo Babyboomers keep looking for the same solutions that lead us here.
Babyboomers messed up America .
There is NO FUTURE in America, unless we get rid of the idiotic thinking that got us here.
If the USA isn't broken?
How come the USA spends the most in the World on healthcare?
How come the USA has the #1 murder rate in the 1st World ?
How come the USA debt is out of control?
How come we got 14 - 29 million Illegals being hired by Capitalists?
How about real wages which adjust for cost of living have stagnated, or even declined a bit since 1970?
How about manufacturing, how come millions of those jobs left by Capitalist CEO's?
How about Amazon knocking out about 1 million retail jobs?
How about Facebook, Twitter, Google & Youtube promoting Liberal biases?
How about Hollywood, CNN, MSNBC promoting Liberal biases?
Music, Porn have become more & more degenerate, and Drug (Opiate) use have gone through the roof.
Democrats & Republicans are ready to kill each other.
Increases in Terrorism, Mass shooting, Cartels & Street gangs.
This is Crapitalism in action.
I could keep going & make a huge massive list of complaints about how broken America has become.
