Trump said if he were elected, he would stop sending California federal firefighting aid unless Gov. Gavin Newsom, whom he referred to repeatedly as “Newscum,” enacted his policy priorities on issues such as water and taxes.
I’ll note that the most fire-prone parts of California tend to be Republican-majority areas.
Access options:
Ok. Why don’t we just stop sending you more tax money than we receive? We’ll just pay for shit ourselves and not pay federal taxes anymore.
We’re cool with that.
Your federal tax brackets are reaming us while our cost of living is way higher than the national median anyway.
Right on!
Tired of propping up the red welfare states!
Here’s the issue: think about how happy you will be when TX leaves the union. The GOP feels the same about CA.
They’ll do an about face real quick when they realize that more GOP voters live in CA than anywhere else. Gotta be able to get that campaign $$$
Yeah, except California could be a nationstate on its own without needing outside help and the same is not true of Texas. It’s closer to being true for Texas than it is for most red states, that is true, but Texas can’t even keep its power on. And that whole oil industry thing? Looking pretty temporary.
If there were another civil war coming up, sure, most of it would not be based on geography, but California, Oregon, and Washington would definitely stick together.
And hopefully lose some of our righter-leaning populations to emigration.
West coast is the best coast…absolutely we would stick together, not even a question. All the right leaning folk talk about how great Idaho is. I imagine they’d all be refugees there.
