All red states? Wow. I'm shocked, I tells you. Shocked.

Those GOP politicians must be absolutely awesome at governing.

Question for all you conservative Republicans (especially Trumpists): Do any of you have a reasonable and plausible explanation for why the poorest states with the highest poverty levels and highest percentage of citizens receiving welfare benefits are all red states?
No precept or claim is more likely to be false than one that can only be supported by invoking the claim of Divine authority for it--no matter who or what claims such authority.

Who else would know better than they do that people on welfare are takers?

Holy crap. This, this, this.

It’s amazing what conservatism has morphed into over the past few decades. So many of these folks are humorless snowflakes, continually worried and preoccupied about who’s going to take their stuff, while they sit on their opioid-addicted arses and pine away for the glory days of America when women were best tolerated barefoot and pregnant, and black folks could be strung up into trees for a group photo opportunity with the neighbors.

Seriously, all you have to do is watch what actions they post and applaud for from the current Administration. It’s all about making sure that someone else in the outgroup doesn’t ‘get’ something or some privilege or some right that isn’t, in their opinion, deserved. That’s the apparent sole purpose for far too many of them. And they wrap that behavior in and hide behind the mantle of their faith, and they’re proud of it.

Some journalist mad a comment about the state of the teeth of the crowd taking several people to make up a full set of teeth. The women who gives me a teeth clean and polish said that people with false teeth live longer than those with problem teeth as gum disease poisons the body and affects the heart.

Great example of your ignorance:

New Mexico , #2 on list - R Governor (female by the way), both Senators are D, 2 of 3 Representatives are D, Attorney General is D, Secretary of State is D, and then there's the NM State Senate where 16 R to 26 D and State House with 32 R to 38 D.
In 2016, New Mexico voted 48% Clinton and 40% Trump.

So when you say stuff like "aha ALL red states", you just look stupid because aside from knowing nothing about these States, you obviously don't know how government works.
