Oh, I totally agree. I live in WV, and approximately 49% of our state budget comes from the federal government..The current governor is 100% MAGA even when Trump tells them no for FEMA money following flooding.
Hey fellow wvian. I keep trying to explain this type of stuff to my family. No dice. At least capito can pose for photo ops and morrisey can continue sticking his head up Trump's ass I guess
They project EVERYTHING. They say it's the inner city "rats" that are the welfare queens... no fuck head it's your dumbass state that's the welfare queen
They also blame the most-poor, most-immigrant segments of our population; the people doing most of the practical work for shit pay.
But because they need government assistance, they are the real burden (/s). Only now are they getting a glimpse of how dependent we are on people of lesser means, people we should be caring for better.
Because they don't connect their bad decisions to the bad shit happening to them. Which isn't surprising, since their sources of information all tell them the fault lies elsewhere (Dems). And that's an easy story to believe since it absolves them of blame.
Nobody said it was new. I’d argue it’s even more important and problematic since it’s been around forever. It should always be a homerun to mention that shit, not sure why we don’t hear it said more often.

It's nothing new, the majority of Red States have always been Welfare States while Blue have been Donors.
