You are kind of owned, since these red states fucking up just means that more of your tax money will go to saving these idiots from themselves through federal aid
As another fellow Washingtonian, I'm getting pretty tired of subsidizing willful stupidity.
Red states are a luxury we can't afford anymore. They need to pull themselves up by their freedom bootstraps and start turning a profit, or the spigot turns off.
I can only vote blue so many times. If I didn't laugh, I'd cry.
Man, red states are much different here and there. Here red state means communist state, in US it is exact opposite.
honestly it's not willful for a lot of residents there because of gerrymandering instead of redistricting.
Never should have let the southern states back in like we did.
We should have hanged every last confederate.
It's not too late though.
This is definitely not an unhinged comment. Not at all.
