Living in a Red State vs Blue

Recent Harris poll
64% of voters say they would want to live in a state that cuts taxes, encourages public charter schools, does not allow gender surgery for minors, and restricts most abortions after six weeks.
By contrast 66% of voters – including a majority of all parties – say they would not want to live in a state that has increasing taxes, restricts legal gun ownership more strictly, allows abortion up to 9 months, allows minors to get gender surgery without parental permission, encourages undocumented immigrants, and allows felons to vote.

Low taxes beat unfettered trans madness.
Everyone else will eventually leave.
The highest population growth over the next 10 years will be in south Texas. A manufacturing renaissance is taking place there.
Same with New York. Illinois. New Jersey.
Yes there is police service but circumstances surrounding that service are making law enforcement a less desirable profession choice. EMT's and hospitals are mostly private. Fire service is something I have never used but is valuable to have. That's about all I can see that helps me personally even though I don't use these services.
Yet Blue state’s immigration is driving Utah’s. Mostly from California, but also from New York and Washington.
The result - Salt Lake City has developed a massive gang problem.
If I was Utah, I’d put up a wall
This is just an apples and orangutans comparison, Mark you know that you are being dishonest just to stir shit.
For example, blue states spend a lot on education but most schools are failing the students. That’s partly because teacher’s unions have all the power and influence.
Our state has been saddled with an unsustainable $15/hr min wage by a self-righteous ambulance chaser John Morgan. When you have to pay a higher minimum wage, everything increases from the bottom up. Ironically, those minimum wage earners find themselves replace dbby self-checkout and other automation which obsolets the functions they performed. Serves them right, but consumers are left to foot the bill. This is not the governor' fault, this is not the red voter's faults, this is the blue voters and liberals' fault.
Every election ballot has giveaways for military veterans, first, responders, teacher, widows, etc. I vote "No" each and every single time, because when they exempt one group from taxes, they have to raise taxes elsewhere to get it. Most people, especially the blue voters and bottom 30% vote yes to feel good about themselves or get the exemption for themselves. It is stupid. They are stupid. Use your head. Government never cuts spending, it only increases. If this tax revenue ceases here, it will be shifted elsewhere. Again, not the governor's fault. Blame blue voters and liberals.
Finally, Florida has not experienced the slightest dip in housing demand. Even with sky-high mortgage rates. Again, this is not the governor's fault. This is the blue voters moving here after voting for high taxes, special class exemptions, and increased government spending in their old states. They will destroy Florida as surely as amnesty in the 80s destroyed California.
Lots of idiots on this board like to pretend they know everything and have a keen understanding of economic forces and societal trends. Don't be fooled. They are just idiots with small minds and big mouths, who spout partisan lies without stopping to examine what the topic in questions. these are the useful idiots that form the cannon fodder of the democrat party. They blindly march follow whatever Rachel Maddow or Keith Olbermann tells them, and drag good Americans into the mud with them.
I will play along and comment on your discussion.
You wrote and I quote:
“Living in a Red State vs Blue”
You are in denial about the UNDENIABLE REALITY:
“It’s never been about left vs right or Democrats vs Republicans.
More like 0.1% of regular ass humans (the media, the politicians, the religious leaders, the puppet presidents, the rich and powerful, etc etc) tricking the rest of us into fighting among ourselves while they rob us blind.”

Mark, where do you get that 64% of voters favor restricting abortions after six weeks ? Link please.
The Harris poll from June 14-15 (which they link to) shows the abortion poll results on slide 31:
47% (not 64%) of voters favor a law that would ban most abortions after six weeks
They only get to the 64% number when they lump several questions (such as taxes) together. Of course, most people want lower taxes. Looks kind of sneaky.
The teacher was fired for making alleged racist remarks. It was the first week of school during COVID and the students were masked up. He misidentified one African American student and called him by the wrong name. Remember it was the first week of school and they were masked. Yet he was fired because after all, whites think “all black people look alike”
Cold calling of students (an easy version of the Socratic Method” was prohibited because it might embarrass students or make them feel singled out.
More blue state idiocy
Now, 6 months later, a huge budget deficit is projected ( currently $30 Billion and going higher ). They didn’t see that coming.

The horror !!!
New York City murder capital of the world in 1990, so bad NYC elects a Republican Mayor, Rudy Giuliani comes in to save the day and clean shit up OVERNIGHT. Comrade DeBlasio comes in and does everything possible to fuck that all up. Crackheads in Albany (insert Sacramento, Springfield etc.) always need more and more money.
Thank you God for letting me be born in 1957 so I got to grow up and live most of my life in real America and not the sick, fucked up progressive Democrat version that we're in now where we fail a little more every day. Fucking Juneteenth? Fucking most ignornt name for a day on earth.
At least 20 people were shot, one fatally, during a Juneteenth celebration early Sunday morning in Willowbrook, Illinois
The gunfire erupted during an illegal street takeover attended by at least 300 people overnight outside of the Willowbrook shopping center
I'm not saying a second secession is the answer or is warranted, but I shudder to think of a future where all states are woke blue shitholes that resemble Chicago, San Fran, or Philly.
When your crusade is motivated by some moral cause (real or otherwise), you won't leave others alone. Applied to slavery back in the day, now abortion and transing kids.

It’s strange there are no new reports coming out about this incident. It seems to have died. Initial news reports said there was video of the suspects and at least one article indicated a fight had broken out before the shooting.
Yet no description of the suspects has been released or no arrests have been made
The solution is simple. Allow police to stop and frisk suspicious looking people, like drug dealers standing on street corners at 2am. Then, put anyone caught with a gun in prison for 5 years. The murder rate in Chicago would plunge.
The people in power in Chicago say this would be racist.
Nor is Greg Abott, the Governor of the great state of Texas. Tornado sirens are owned and operated by the county. Maybe, if the counties weren't having their budgets raped by all the illegals you liberals are allowing to invade our country, they could afford to inspect and maintain tornado sirens that lawful citizens pay for.
BTW your not a conservative you’re all over the place with your philosophy, the only thing constant about you is you’re a bigoted dumbass.
It's called a publicity stunt from groups that need crises to stay relevant.
The flow of population out of blue states and into red states speaks for itself.
I’ll give you that Baltimore is a crime ridden shithole. Time to start over in that city. Not fair lumping all of Maryland in there. The state of Maryland has the highest median household income of all 50 states. The county I live in is number 4 in the entirety of the USA per median family income. We’re doing just fine. Thanks for asking.
You're welcome.
Crime-ridden shithole filled with fat, lazy, overpaid bureaucrats who don't care about the victims if it ain't in their backyard.

Yeah, it probably is. I hope so, because every time I’ve been to Florida, I’ve always had fun. I like that state.
Though I do remember this one Airbnb where my host claimed somebody else was his roommate. And he spent time with the other guy going out together and they would cook meals together and eat together, watch tv together, and at night sleep in the same bedroom. I kept my mouth shut but I really wanted to say “IDGAF if you guys are gay—as a female traveling alone that actually makes my life easier!” …but idk if they had some circumstance going on keeping them in the closet, even if it’s a closet that wasn’t hiding much. 🫣

And then on top of the Senate to the radical left. Great job. 👍 It's losing issue, move the fuck on.
Groceries cost 18% less.
Housing is 80%(!) more expensive in Maryland
Transportation costs 8% more
Gas costs slightly more
Florida and Texas have no income tax
Florida has better schools and a higher graduation rate than Maryland
Those arent the only red and blue states , but a good demonstration of how liberalism sucks, liberals swallow, and blue states filch.
They:
- don’t prosecute crimes
- embrace illegal aliens
- have high taxes
- have unionized government employees
- control the election system
As a result:
- the unions help Democrats get elected
- elections are fixed
- the Democrat party bosses decide who gets elected
- politicians are corrupt
- the middle class, of all races, flees the city
- crime is rampant
- police response is horrible
- the schools are horrible
- the streets are filthy
- the city runs a deficit
The politicians blame the city’s problems on
- insufficient taxes
- racism
- greedy rich people
- business owners
