The blue states always have the cool stuff!
Just a coincidence, I'm sure.
Something something freedom something? *
* Offer not valid in all 50 states, void where prohibited
Wish I hadn't built my life in the red hellhole
Sunk cost fallacy... It might be worth moving in the long run. It's far from perfect, but I know that the difference between living in a solid blue state, vs a purple state, is huge. I can't even imagine coming from a deep red state. Shit would be like entering the Promised Land.
Which is sad, because blue states have their fair share of issues.
What about me? When I was born Ohio is what we'd now call blue. I say it that way because when I was born, states didn't have colors. In fact in 1980 when reagan won, the map he won was blue. Today that wouldn't make sense, so you get my point.
By the time I was a teenager Ohio had become a swing state.
And now it's red.
Where the fuck is my blue ohio I was brought up in???
I used to live in Alberta and I’m still reeling from that.
Bret Hart still running around up there complaing about goldberg?
He's still bitter about the Montreal Screwjob
And red states are welfare states with crabs in a bucket mentality
“Oh, yeah? Well at least we passed laws requiring us to identity ourselves if we wanna use porn, lol! You can keep your cheap broadband internet! Ha!” — Red States
Why would you need broadband internet if it isn't for porn in the first place?
"We can't afford rent, bread and Internet, what happened, fuck socialism I guess???"
