[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am out. The BBB has a lot of stuff that will make life easier for many people but they do not want it. Screw them. It’s time for the Dems to stop shipping money to these poor backwards state.

The system will not allow for new legislation but you can stop anything. Stop the redistribution of money from the rich blue states to the poor states. Let’s start with the disaster relief.[/quote]

I hope you aren’t serious because what you’re saying will further ossify the divisions between red states and blue states.  It won’t help. I know we are all frustrated but this kind of talk isn’t fixing anything.[/quote]

I think part of the issue may also like North-Korea syndrome, where red staters are suffering due to their elected leaders pushing back on funds and programs and thinking that the Democrats' programs were all failures and that the rest of the country is worse off than they are when in fact that's not at all the case.  That's the propaganda North Korea uses as well - for as bad as the problems are in North Korea, they tell their people that the rest of the world is even worse off when it isn't.

It's been going on for a long time - I recall arguing with red staters about ARRA stimulus programs, they'd say "there were no shovel ready projects" and say there was nothing to show for it (in their red county) while I'd pull up the website and show them dozens of great and much needed projects that were successfully completed around where I live.  Or they'd whine about ACA not realizing their own GOP officials sabotaged it where they live but that the plans and programs were much better in blue states.  And so they'd project their own shitty situation onto the rest of the country not realizing that it was their own GOP officials who made it shitty for no good reason other than partisan politics.[/quote]
