This is why the rest of the Union hates us. They can't keep up.

The rest of the union doesn’t hate us, just states that need our tax dollars to subsidize their existence and Texas.

As a California native who was forced to move out to one of those shithole red states and has to listen to the constant shit talking, they do hate us. Its long past time for us to hate them back.

I'm in Ohio and a lot of us don't hate California because we understand basic economics. Of course I am talking about the university educated Liberals. The maggots on the other hand think that our most economically prosperous state is somehow the root of all their problems...

You guys have people flying Confederate flags. Ohio was a Union state. Is there a lot of lead paint in the state?

That weird-ass 'chili' rotted their brains.

u/myfakesecretaccount 23h ago

I don’t trust chili from anywhere that far from the southern border.

That's who they were talking about. Blue states like you.

u/Grachus_05 1d ago

Oklahoma is about as far from a blue state as you can get.

u/Kekira Maryland 1d ago

They aren't talking about Oklahoma, they're talking about the red states that depend on blue state money.

u/Grachus_05 1d ago

You just said they were talking about "blue states like you".

Bad bot.

u/Kekira Maryland 1d ago

Blue states like (as in appreciate not as in are similar) California. Oklahoma isn't blue.

u/Grachus_05 23h ago

You are still confused.

Oklahoma's? Iraq.

Especially Texas. Texas wants to be #1 at everything, and the only thing on their way is that punk ass state that in their way, who just so happens to exist at being good.

Illinois already started conversations with Mexico last week because of the tariffs. Naturally it’s no surprise republicans hate us too
