Red states with blue cities are happy if the blue city gets screwed. In fact, it seems to be the official past-time of the MO legislature.

I was there for work last year and thought the city really looked great for having been completely burned to the ground by antifa supersoldiers

We're a hardy bunch. It comes from years of struggle under harsh Sharia law.

In Ohio's defense it's so gerrymandered that pretty much everywhere is red.

I also don't believe Bernardo or James David Bowman (J.D. Vance) were elected by the people. Tampered machine's absolutely same for the gerrymandering bill.

Y’all, I’m in LOS ANGELES! A real hellscape if you look at any right wing source. I’ll be out protesting today in sunny, 76 degree weather with a huge variety of people from all walks of life, from all over the world, where we all live together with minimal problems or even crime for a city this size. We have delicious taco trucks on every corner (and pupusas and banh mi sandwiches and every other yummy thing you can imagine). We have some of the most creative people in the world here. Yet we are vilified by most of the rest of the country who have never been here and have no idea what they’re missing. We did recently suffer 2 massive fire events - due to climate change - and those withheld FEMA funds would be another huge blow, salt in an open wound, completely unfair in every way. California is a “donor” state to the rest of the country, contributing more money to the federal government than we ever get back in resources and funding.
