    Default Bluexit

    Dear Red-State Trump Voter,
    Let’s face it, guys: We’re done.
    For more than 80 years now, we—the residents of what some people like to call Blue America, but which I prefer to think of as the United States of We Pay Our Own Damn Way—have shelled out far more in federal tax monies than we took in. We have funded massive infrastructure projects in your rural counties, subsidized your schools and your power plants and your nursing homes, sent you entire industries, and simultaneously absorbed the most destitute, unskilled, and oppressed portions of your populations, white and black alike.
    All of which, it turns out, only left you more bitter, white, and alt-right than ever.

    I am none of those things. You fail again. Don't say we didn't warn you. You should've learned from Hitlery's "Deplorable" strategery, but, you didn't. Now reap what you have sown.

    I live in a red state that gets a disproportionate share of gubmint money. You have to consider the ratio of military + Native population / everybody else which is hugely disproportionate compared to other states. Of course the Natives mostly vote dem because they like free stuff, and they get a lot of free stuff. Non-military and non-natives get no gubmint money so naturally they vote republican.

    It's the only way to go. Let them have their western equivalent of Idi Amin, Russkie style governance, through the roof health insurance and education costs, guns and bibles galore...who the hell cares.

    How much better off would the rest of us be without these drags on progress. Just wow!

    A Modest Proposal For Separating Blue States From Red

    Dear Red-State Trump Voter,
    Let’s face it, guys: We’re done.


    It is a tragedy that so much of the work that so many men and women toiled at for so long to make this a better country, and a better world, has been thrown away, leaving us all in such needless peril.

    This is why our separation in all but name is necessary.

    You and cinnabun should just shut up and continue to pay me. But seriously, we're talking about 10 states here, and to sum it up, the federal dollars go to states that have large elderly populations(in the form of medicare and social security), military installations, states in close proximity to D.C.(lots of federal workers and federal contracts), and yes, grants to poor states. The federal tax brackets are the same for everyone in every state. If both of us make the same income and have identical familial and economic circumstances but live in different states, we're gonna pay pretty much identical federal taxes. All you have done by absorbing the most destitute, unskilled, and oppressed portions of our populations is to force your jackass state governors to raise state taxes, which drags down industry and jobs and drives your wealthy and your talented workforce into our welcoming arms(where some of them proceed to STILL vote jackass). So don't blame us...and pay up, sucker!

    believe me there are times when I'd like to see the Left Coast and the blue NE go there own crazed way.

    But we are one nation united by the bonds of revolution that freed us from colonialism.

    My advice is stop paying attention to DC politicians ,or at least consider them Swamp dwellers and realize most of what they do they do for themselves.
    Once you get the idea that DC mostly cares only about DC -you can drop the hyper-partisanship from your perspective

    I think this is a great idea, this is also a net positive I have found from the trump admin, it has made liberals realize the dangers of the centralization of power in the federal government. now you guys realize it's not so fun when shoe is on the other foot. We hate you, you hate us, so lets just fucking go our separate ways and be done with it.

    You bigoted piece of shit, always disparaging the Alaska Native population, they mostly vote Republican, they have always voted for Don Young, who although is an idiot, has championed their cause. The “Bush” overwhelming votes Republican. Alaska natives, the majority of them are very hard working and wonderful people so FO.

    I'm sorry, but you won't get to tell us what laws we pass. The difference will be you have no money and we have even more. Bye now hypocrite taker states, nice knowin ya! Won't it be great having the government you hate that supports your ass gone? Now I have to go, I have to take the magnetic train to the world class museum and symphony that I bought with my bluexit dividend. Enjoy the poverty and racism and short brutish lifespan you chose!
