You think Idaho's government fucked over their citizens then?
Yes. And it’s their responsibility. Red states need to learn they can’t rely on blue ones to pick up the slack.
You really think this is a situation where they "should have taken their lumps" despite that meaning such a large amount of death?
Did you expect the Idaho citizens to have enough awareness to not even try to find help outside the state when they couldn't find it within?
Or should the government have locked them in at a certain point? Or your government locked them out? Have we ever restricted crossing state borders like that before as a punitive measure?
What about people who are temporarily working in your state but live elsewhere? Should visa holders get healthcare? Illegal immigrants?
I'm not sure how you make these distinctions following your logic.
Do you actually want me to answer these questions, or are they rhetorical? I have ZERO sympathy for red states, and if a person doesn’t wanna get totally fucked, they should leave immediately.
Regarding my “logic,” I promise, you do not have the capability of altering my position on this topic.
Thats fair, I would never move to a red state and if I was born in one I'd hope I'd try to leave but I wasnt so its hard to say.
Wasnt trying to change your opinion, trying to figure out why you are so angry with idaho, which I think you've answered.
