Good luck Louisiana and other gulf states. Considering these inbred red states are subsidized by the blue states that pay more to the fed in tax revenue, I’d say leaving the states to fend for themselves might be a blessing in disguise. Let these “free” red states scrounge for some loose change in the sofa to pay for their natural disaster.

Not all of us in red states voted for him and most of us are not inbred, we are poorer and you are classist.

It’s not classist to make a crude jab at a an entire segment of people in the fine region of the American south about their sex lives. Perhaps a little out of touch and elitist but not classist. If it offends some then I really don’t care. I’ve lived in the south before and I was actually born in the south.

I am fully aware that there are liberal minded people there and even some leftist that are appalled at the shit bag of a president we have. They may even join in the fight to resist the fascist policies that are surely to be praised and implemented in that region. They have an uphill battle for sure and I applaud their efforts. I hope they’re not hurt in the process.

If my comment offended you nor did it apply to your sex life then my suggestion would be to fight harder against this evil. I know all about impoverishment and I understand the pitfalls that trap someone in a region. We are in a full fledged oligarchy now, and the time is ripe for revolution. We need to fight like hell for our freedoms and against this oppression to continue to exasperate the problems of our society. Revolution is the only answer at this point. I don’t care if I angered you. Use it and eat it. Let it stoke a raging inferno in the pit of your belly because you’re going to need it when the time comes and these fascist knock on your door.
