        The darkly hilarious part is that the red states that bus people to major cities in blue states still have way higher crime rates than blue states and blue cities. But facts don’t matter anymore, so the dogmatic right doesn’t give a shit and eats up the propaganda.

      It’s insane. Red states make it hell to live there so no sane person would ever move there making it deeper red.

        Yeah my previous state is so far gone that it is beyond salvage in my lifetime. I tried but it’s not something an individual like myself could change. So we gave up and moved to greener pastures where the state functions well. MN has amazing metrics - they’re ranked in the top 5 for just about everything except public land. It’s great up here. Or at least it was until this last week…

        the rich lives in some of these states, buts only ever in enclaves that are untouchable to the rest of the plebs. otherwise most live BOUGIE affluent blue areas.
