Why are red states so poor and ugly?

[Melanie31]

Don't tell me "Florida and Texas are red". The rich parts of Florida are all blue. Wherever there is a poor place, it always votes for Trump.

[exitseven]

California is a shit hole and Washington and Oregon have been trashed as well. NY. NJ, CT, RI, Mass and Illinois are all third world hell holes. California has 50% of the nations homeless population and the largest budget deficit. the only reason President Trump hasn't put California into receivership is that he does not want the taxpayers to be burdened by bailing out a state that has been so mismanaged.

The whole rest of the country is doing just fine. People are employed, crime is manageable and they are not burdened by liberal polices that only create the problems Republicans try to solve.

[Cormac995]

I live in a red state and most of it comes down to shitty spending just like the Democrats. My home town is a great example of this. The republican idea of progress seems to be spending several hundred thousand dollars on vanity projects to increase property value meanwhile the roads on the edge of town haven't been re paved in over 20 years. Just nasty black tar fillings to the point the road is half tar in some places.

[alice55]

Because they're mostly agriculture states no?

[Bricealan]

@Melanie31 Melanie, where do you get such crazy, uninformed information? Newport Beach, here in California, is solid RED, and some of the wealthiest people in the country live there. Poor and ugly? young woman you need to wise up.

[UrbanLeather]

The whole Deep South are solid red, and those states are like a third world nation!!

@UrbanLeather The entire planet, and the entire US is suffering from morbid obesity. THIRD WORLD NATION... have you lost your mind?

California is SOLID BLUE, and I have never seen so much obesity, and sickness, and I see it every day. What is the point you want to make, or is there one? My brother is a Nurse in Atlanta, and Atlanta is the same... Florida is full of obesity.

[DrPepper12]

Wait a minute there!! There are some 🔥 🥵 maga chicks and I would presume that there are handsome maga men But looking at the likes of Stephen Miller Trump Bannon et al they're not sending their best...

[exitseven]

Most women would disagree with you. There have been a couple of studies where women complain they cannot find a manly man who is a liberal. i guess the man bun is a turnoff.

[Anonymous]

Wherever the population is more dense (cities), the mindset is going to be bluer. Away from the cities, the mindset will typically be redder. It has nothing to do with wealth, or the lack thereof. The people outside of the cities have a tendency to be harder-working, and have more Godly conservative values.

[Hispanic-Cool-Guy]

That's a myth. All 50 states have their own good and bad parts.

America is far from an ugly country.

[worldscolide]

Lady, you really need to educate your self. Red states may be poor, But without us, Everyone in this nation goes hungry.. Red states comprise almost entirely farm land.

[DonaldDarko]

Blue states have this. Utter filth

@UrbanLeather You won't get robbed, raped or burned alive in those states. Unlike NYC or San Fransicko. any wealthy they have is old wealth. Or, it's concentrated the very top and belongs to the politicians and billionaires.

[UrbanLeather]

California and New York have $$$ and power unlike Mississippi or West Virginia

[DonaldDarko]

@UrbanLeather The wealthy and the corrupt officials do. Everyone else is either on the street or headed there.

[UrbanLeather]

You are saying that states like Mississippi or West Virginia are not third world bottom feeding states while the numbers show otherwise lol

@UrbanLeather If they were they'd have similar laws and policies in place as blue states. Shop lifting would be legal, criminals wouldn't be prosecuted, homosexual pornography would be in elementary schools, perverts dressed up like the women would be shaking their asses in kids faces in the library. Homeless camps full of filthy junkies would line the streets of every city and the police would do nothing.

[UrbanLeather]

Lol you gave me your feelings and cultural war nonsense talking points while I gave you statistics from government sites

[DonaldDarko]

@UrbanLeather I gave you facts while you gave me propaganda. An illegal alien is waiting to bash you in the head and take your wallet the nest time you stroll down to the Waldorf Astoria. Better pray ICE get's him first.

[FunkyMonkee]

Only while you're wearing your TDS glasses!! Take them the fuck off and take another look!!

[Plates9741]

I'm interested to see how they do without their slave immigrant labour and Medicare.

[Gaylordslav]

wealthy people think their righteous and supporting progressivism shows just how intellectual and accepting they are. But in reality they are just as discriminatory and judgmental as the next person.

[Shiprex]

It's the right wing genetic mutation that makes them like this

[Dongie]

I see you believe this. 😅

@Dongie i observe it dongi lad. Daily on here

[Shiprex]

@Dongie You're welcome

[glennos89]

It doesn't matter if they choose red or blue... Red and blue belong both to the same organisation

[UrbanLeather]

Because they whine more about useless cultural war issues than fixing the actual issues

Whining about trans athletes will not make you have a better economy, more great paying jobs with excellent benefits, and better healthcare!!

[Jackblue]

Rich people vote democrat because they are ignorant. It isn't because democrat policies work better, certain areas of the country were wealthier pretty much from the beginning of European colonization.

[MangakaJ96]

First I’ve heard of that, but I highly doubt that it’s true.

They're mis-governed by REPIGLIKSCUM, who get the goobers' vote by appealing to their racism and other prejudices while neglecting health care, schools and infrastucture.

[FenixG45]

Trump does well with Christians and uneducated people.

[AngryCarl2]

Is it that red states are poor and ugly? Or is it just that poor ugly states are red?

[Ironco]

You can't really believe this?

[UrbanLeather]

Just look at the Deep South states such as Arkansas, Mississippi, and Alabama!! Those states are always rank at the bottom and have among the highest teen pregnancies same with obese levels!!
