Thats how the US has worked for a long time
Well educated, diverse Liberals in big cities pay loads of taxes, which the Government redistributes to less educated, less productive Conservative voters
Blue states subsidise Red States. Thats why they have such a big influence on how America is.
If Conservatives want to take control of the country the first step is to stop sponging off Liberals and stand on their own 2 feet
Might be more accurate to say 15 to 20 blue cities whose tax dollars subsidise under educated, under productive red areas
They have a disproportionate impact on American life because they are the ones who earn the money
Criticise all you like but until rural and suburban Conservatives learn to stand on their own two feet and stopping depending on Liberals for hand outs not a lot will change
They could have behaved like grown ups, with some dignity
Like it or not only a very small proportion of the US electorate backed their agenda, either they need to find a way to persuade more people, or find a way to put their plans into action that don't need votes
All they succeeded in doing is make the US hard right look like petulant children stamping their feet in a silly tantrum.
It is all just a bit pathetic
are you referring to me, or to the collection of attention seeking petulant children in Congress who just made the US right look like a bunch of fools?
His words will connect with an awful lot more Americans than the childishness of the "freedom" caucus
This has nothing to do with Trump. He is a side show. Time to move on
Odd question to ask on here.
To me it is a belief that privileged elites act in their own interests, ensuing that elections go there way. Some of them use their power to abuse children. Big corporations are mostly in league with them, and the state needs to act to protect free elections and the integrity of big companies
But from reading on here I understand that for some people it is about loneliness - QAnon, MAGA, Trumper, Anti-Vax are identities, something to help people experience a sense of community, make them feel less lonely and lost
If I don't believe in Jesus can I still believe in QAnon?
A problem for who?
What Nazis? Where?
Why is that a problem for people?
So you don't know the people having meltdowns, and I don't know the people having meltdowns but you are definitely sure that there are people having meltdowns and that makes you feel good?
Have I got that right?
Not sure that they really are baby killers who love death. Mostly they are ordinary people, run businesses, have families.
Do you have to be very right wing in order to believe in QANON?
Condolences for what? The lefties I know are very chilled, lots of tofu and yoga.... there is nothing wrong with knowing people from other political views?
Yes, Musk paid a massive sum of money for a business that was losing money. And then took decisions to make it lose more
I never mentioned censorhip?
What is the death cult? Most of the lefties I have met are pretty normal?
As above, I have all kinds of political friends and I don't hear any liberal or left wing tears. Just laughter. Lots of it
If all you can do is have childish tantrums then maybe you should log off for a bit, take a deep breath
