Great to see that those red states are reaping the fruits of their labors.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Every rural community will be hurting bad with a lot less resources close to them unlike the blue cities.
Hope they hurt though, they deserve all of it for the hate they voted with and for.
Deep red states have long relied on wealthier, mostly blue states for hand outs. Without that flow of money many of those states would sink into underdeveloped status.
Edit: and if red states want to take a chainsaw to their own legs by turning off the money tap themselves, well have fun with that.

My asshole stupid governor. 🤬
Good. People who voted for trump need to suffer the consequences of their choice.
What's so fucked about this is that while someone like me sees this, I am horrified about the consequences to the kids who will be affected by this who had no role, but ALSO the people that foolishly voted Republican and how they will be harmed, even if it was self-inflicted.
I am pretty sure that feeling is not always mutual. Even as a qon is being damaged by stuff like this, I think not a few would take delight in knowing that liberals (and POC. And uppity women. And LGBTQ. And immigrants) might be hurt, too.
So I admit I used to feel the horror you’re describing, but seeing them refuse to reciprocate for my entire voting life has made me a damn sight more jaded these days. And I have precisely zero sympathy for places and people who vote against their own interests.
