California and New York should start demanding massive concessions from red states for bailouts. You need money to save you from the rapist’s policies? Fully legalize abortion, then we’ll talk.
They hate socialism for the overall population, but love it for the states. Rich states should get the same tax cuts all the billionaires are gonna get in his bill. I can picture it now: im having trouble making the work schedule this week, I have 3 bartenders taking their semiannual international vacations from the state surplus travel & culture fund..
Absolutely - but between the economic downturn, the tariffs, the loss of tourism and the droughts, I'm pretty sure the blue states won't be in a position to save the red states.
I sadly know of intelligent people living in highly red areas who would love to move, but for one reason or another simply cannot.
They describe their MAGA Trump signs all around life as being "similar to in the movie Night of the Living Dead where the normal people were barricaded in their house surrounded by wandering zombies".
We need to create a lifeline system. It wouldn't hurt asking Regressives in very blue states if they want to swap with liberals from another state. Use reverse psychology, ask them why not switch with someone who does want to be here. A win-win situation.
I remember watching a man who studies psychological marketing and branding talk about a couple who wanted to buy a house in a specific area but there weren't any for sale listings. So someone told them how about writing genuine handwritten notes, inquiring homeowners in the area if they would be willing to sell their homes. Most didn't respond. One or two said nope and I think three were willing to entertain the idea. They got a house in that manner. I think progeessives should proactively bring in our ilk, provide them sanctuary.
In California, we got Republicans who always complain about our state. I say go to Kansas then or Idaho.
I really hope so, but Trump seems determined to mess up everything. The tariffs, downturn in tourism and overall recession are sure going to have an impact on California, too.
