    They were damaged by the last administration. And the Bush administration. Their states are the ones which are hellholes that get shittier and shittier with jobs leaving out and poorer and poorer. It becomes more difficult to actually leave red states because affording to get the fuck out is nearly impossible. When they vote on something that makes things better, the state government overrides them saying they didn’t know what they were voting on.

    YET THEY ALWAYS VOTE THIS WAY

    They will not figure it out. They are lost to the cult. I don’t know what fucking Piece of Eden the republicans got hold of to control them but holy fuck living in a red state is just like that comic up there, they look at the person who says they hate them and says “He tells it like it is.”

      Not just affordability. My kid is in college for education and has already been warned about the trade off with moving somewhere cheap but also with lower education standards, lower pay, lower respectability for educators. Republicans might be ok with the brain drain helping them stay in power, but I don’t see how the residents are ok with being left further and further behind
