Texas was found to be the state with the fewest personal freedoms, according to the Cato Institute’s new Freedom Index.

    And I’ll remind you federalism is by design and democrats didn’t create it

      That doesn’t mean they have to do nothing about Red State Problems. Federalism isn’t an excuse for letting fascism flourish just because it hasn’t spread to your state yet.

      Unless you’re a Democrat. Then fuck red states, those worthless flyover people deserve it.

          I suppose we’ll see if my predictions hold true.

          Until then, enjoy watching people who can’t leave red states suffer.

            All one needs to know to sniff out your bullshit is how the aca went down

              Oh, you mean how red states decided to opt out of medicare expansion out of spite, and how that was a Red State Problem? How democrats got a majority and didn’t even try to fix the bug that let red states do that?

              Do tell.

                You seem real mad that people are able to govern themselves.

                We might even agree on what direction things should go, but your refusal to acknowledge local responsibility for local laws makes it difficult to take you seriously.

                I get that you want Democrats to save you from your local Republicans, but that isn’t really how the country (or the world) works.

                  You seem real mad that people are able to govern themselves.

                  I’m real mad that the only time Democrats show an interest in my state, it’s because a progressive is running against a centrist and they want to make sure the centrist wins.

                  I get that you want Democrats to save you from your local Republicans, but that isn’t really how the country (or the world) works.

                  Cool. When Democrats have fled the red states and can no longer get a majority in the Senate, the same problems you’re happy to ignore because they’re limited to the borders of my state and those like it? Those will be implemented nationwide. It’ll be too late for all of us then.

                  Enjoy watching the suffering of poor people in flyover country until then.

                    No matter how much you hate Democrats, no one outside of trumpets will be able to take you seriously until you recognize how the American government is fundamentally structured… in a way where Republicans are free to obstruct everything ever. You and I both know that is what happens currently

                Yes, the one which was the only significant effort to improve American healthcare ever. The one the dreaded democrats tried to make better and Republicans destroyed. Yes, that one. Thanks for recognizing that

                  I’ve made my prediction. You can watch it happen or not.
