He said it was a city issue and cities vote blue. If you were a red state with a blue city you also got screwed. It was so dumb it was dangerous.

I’m in TN as well. What confuses me is that Republicans will cheer that he outright punishes blue states and cities, but NO state or city is 100% blue (or red for that matter). How do Republicans not see this???

They dont care. They see anyone living in a blue state even if theyre hard core maga red they "chose" to live in that state so they deserve it.

Yeah but, if only blue or red people lived in certain states, everybody with half a brain knows that the red areas will be FUBAR in no time. If it wasn't for the blue people the red people would have died out decades ago, so. Well done fuck jobs. You kept these ass clowns alive and now the rest of the world has to suffer for it.

I agree. Ive said it for years. Maga wont even acknowledge the fact that blue states underpin many of the red state's budgets with our taxes. If California and NY stopped paying taxes today states like KY would be fucked within a month. They take so much from the fed government and give so little back its not even funny.

Its so ironic that McConnel was leading the charge to repeal Obamacare which 70% of the people in his state use. Like how fucked is that. Youre fucking over your own constituents just so say FU you Obama. And the worst part is they admitted they had no plan to replace Obamacare either. People would literally be dying in those states bcs they wouldnt be getting the life saving meds or medical care they need.
