Also, when our federal taxes keep their damn state functioning.

Red states are the true welfare queens.

THIS. The north subsidizes the south. We are consistently net tax givers.

Having bounced around the USA a bit (thank you, husband's 20 year Naval career), lemme assure you - the difference between living in Red states and Blue states are PROFOUND.

Red State America is like living in third world countries. So much pride, so little substance. So much crime, even though everyone is wearing a gun and no one tries to be polite, because it's their God-given right to be intolerant, racist, sexist, homophobic, anti-Semitic and living through conspiracy theories as they careen from one Trump lie to another as they compete to spend the least on public education.

Blue State America is like living in a wannabe Europe. Everyone bitches about taxes, laws, zoning and building codes, yet folks are polite and help each other and introduce themselves to the new neighbors on the block. Art, music, theatre and more surrounds you and it's not required to be religious to do so. And while all the regular ills of American life are still there, shit isn't falling down as much as in Red State America. Except Pennsylvania. WTF, man?

Thanks for the insight, I've never been out of Mass so I wouldn't know, interesting to hear! Surprised about Pennsylvania though, what makes them the exception?

You’re right they should just admit that the south is shit and relinquish all controls to the vastly superior and smarter northerners without any bloodshed.

Ok true but there are less people and less “carbon emissions” as well by probably a large margin.

Don’t forget the country club conservatives calling themselves democrats up here voting for Republican governors because the stagnation protects their generational wealth

So well balanced and middle of the road right? 🥴 lol you’re literally all fucking idiots
