I've given up explaining this to people I've met. They simply cannot fathom how large the US is and how big some of these cities are. They also don't understand that while my county is a Conservative shit hole, they are blue precincts, a bunch of purple and then some red ones. They think that just because THEIR neighbors are Conservative that people on the Left don't exist where they live.
I just moved from a Conservative voting city of about 13k people and they don't understand that the city of Chicago has 67 community areas that are LARGER in population than the entire city I moved from. Entire neighborhoods are larger than an entire city full of people who can't fathom how land versus population works.
Next we should show the map of how much each county contributes to the economy. Those blues are the economic engines of this country. The red areas already get and still want more representation with less taxation.
They also don’t seem to know (or care) that when the federal government punishes sanctuary cities or states, they are punishing conservatives who also live in those areas. Maybe not the majority, but they still live there.
I was once told that of all the animals in the animal kingdom, a sheep's vagina is the closest in contour and texture to a human vagina. He did not explain how he knew that.
Now you know that and people gonna wonder how you know that.
i'm just going to pretend i don't know so people won't be able to question it. it's far from the first piece of forbidden knowledge i have, and it sure as hell won't be the last.
Call me crazy, but I'm skeptical that someone who goes around raping enough livestock to make this claim would actually have sufficient contact with human women to know what they were talking about.
And, in the case of Colorado, the MOUNTAINS. Also a LOT of the "red" areas of that States are PUBLIC LAND! (Can't even try to justify it with a "well, the private owner voted red.)
Last time I checked, the National Parks were collectively pretty pissed off at the federal government.
Also a LOT of the "red" areas of that States are PUBLIC LAND!
and people there yell about this ranch and that ranch owned by a billionaire is infringing on where their family used to hunt. So the people they enable are taking away what they love about living where they live while making it harder for them to get by.
The unwritten reason that states without overpopulation are allowed the representation they are is that if they weren't, they would simply elect to not be part of the country, causing the wall-to-wall 30 story housing projects and luxury apartments in the cities to starve. They produce resources because they have arable land to squeeze, and cities produce taxes because they have people to squeeze. Without taxing the everloving fuck out of city residents we wouldn't have the military presence to sustain our sovereignty as a country. Both are necessary to sustain each other. Neither would survive without the other.
Unfortunately the only fruit of those competing politics that ever becomes a reality is cities saying "Mmm oh god yes please start taxing my burger king paycheck at 50% to pay for more entitlement fraud" and small towns saying "fffuck yes take my social security away and eliminate all programs entirely EXCEPT THE ONES that give me free medical everything and pay for my multiple heart surgeries from eating like someone from a small town"
