one that has a lot of people who live in it I would guess. some of those middle-US states are known for poorness, but only like six dozen people live there

It's full of cousin-fucking, uneducated, inbred, toothless hillbillies who voted for Trump. I don't know if it's the correct answer but it certainly makes sense why someone would think that.

Anyway though I don't think absolute number is the correct way to measure this (else it will be something like Los Angeles County or Cook County - both of which have more people than a lot of states) but percentage of people on welfare is the better measure.

Welfare is a fun term. Technically we should include things like social security and VA benefits as social assistance programs. This is not usually what grandpa and uncle Frank are talking about when complaining about welfare being doled out though. Take away their social security, disability, or any veterans benefits programs and they would pitch a fit.

I think it is.

Yeah, I think if you got a traumatic brain injury or lost a leg trying to make Afghanistan safe for McDonalds and Pride parades, you should be kicked to the curb. Trump was right: they are losers and suckers.

I think people like Gaetz or Greene should admit that on the campaign trail. A little honesty might go a long way with their constituents.

@previous (Meta !Sober//iZs) > MTG is the stereoisomer of AOC.
Totally disagree. AOC has actual causes she is interested in that she has real-world reasons to believe in because she's seen them. MTG has luciferian pedophile networks stealing votes and trafficking child-slaves through pizza parlors. One has a handful of bullshit lies from OAN. One has actual data about labor unions and climate change.
Those two might be opposites in this political climate, but they aren't remotely the same.

Yeah, I've watched MTG speak. I know all the scapegoats. I've listened to all her appearances on Alex Jones recently. I still know nothing about how to stop this satanic pedophile conspiracy other than to donate money to her campaign. That's kind of all she tells people. It feels weird. I mean, if you actually knew about a global child-rape cabal, wouldn't you want to out all the people involved as a starter to your election campaign so you could come out as the hero?

It not like people running on issues are usually coy about stuff. AOC sure isn't. You want to go after the Sacklers for the opioid crisis, sure. You want to go after oil companies, sure. You want to go after union-busting companies, sure. Fuck, even Trump lead "Lock her up!" rallies about some emails... or something that revealed... maybe stuff. Usually, as a candidate, you want to have something you can point to beyond vague hand-waving about how everyone you don't like is automatically a blood drinking pedophile.
