California has the 4th largest Economy in the world. If Gavin Newsom said FU to Red States I'd be cheering him on.

I've been waiting for some Governor to say, "FU" to those useless, Red, welfare, states since I moved here 30 years ago.

I share that feeling and then I remember, having lived in a red state, there are many Democrats …just not enough.

Everyone sacrifices when fighting fascism. This is not a counter point, it's what right wing propaganda wants you to do. As that protects the red states.

I think all blue states need to do this and I don't live in one. Red state voters need to be shown the harsh reality that they are takers and need blue state money. And beggars can't be choosers.

He’s not really saying FU to red states though. If that were the case we’d be hearing him talk more about with holding federal tax dollars to threatening to secede. Instead we get to let our politicians in Washington choose their constituents just to stoop to red states level. This isn’t fighting.

The wrong people have power @maiett.bsky.social

Yeah, let's all cheer about the suffering of disenfranchised youth, poor people, and people of color living in states that have been authoritarian regimes for a good decade now. And if you say "they should all move," I'll say you lack a fundamental understanding of economic and social realities.

All the blue states should get together and go "no, we're not gonna foot the bill for red states anymore" Keep the money that gets wasted and put it back into their own states instead.
