Yeah, fuck those Oklahomans! Those idiots deserve to suffer and struggle.

That’s not the message to take from this.

Oh? What is?

That red states are shittier than blue states. An objectively true fact.

Even other red states say this shit about redder states: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thank_God_for_Mississippi

I know. How does that make my comment wrong?

We generally don’t hate people from red states, I’m in Oregon. We see them like a kid that won’t stop touching a hot stove. It’s more a disappointment than a “fuck em”.

Like maybe they are just stupid?

Maybe. How many times does a kid have to burn himself on a hot stove before we accept that he’s just stupid and a lost cause?

Never. But we can still be disappointed. Not everyone in red states sucks, the majority of them seem to though.

Never.

Alright, well, keep hoping that they’ll stop burning their hand on the stove one day. Seems like a waste of time and energy, but that’s up to you.

I would like to hear your proposed solution.

Only two possible solutions I can think of. The first is balkanize. Let each group of like-minded people form their own, autonomous nation states, where they can all do things the way they want without interference from others. The second is the reasonable, rational, educated people take complete control of the federal government and force all the states to adopt the policies that have proven to work best.

balkanize

Just a reminder that the formation of the Balkan states lead to the Balkin war, that killed more than 2 million.
