Do you ever go outside of your bubble? There's a whole world spinning around here. I'm sorry that the kids grow up no longer feeling the need to milk the cows and run to good paying jobs but your bullshit doesn't work anymore.

Along Trump’s journey to jail, Black Atlanta residents mix outrage with pride [...]“I see them bringing people to Rice Street every day,” said Riddle, using the colloquial name for the Atlanta jail. “But this was like a big show, this was a circus.

Maybe it is because the blue states are wealthier because their inhabitants are smarter. Look at the industries in those blue states and the vast majority are not dependent on natural resources but brains. In the states that are dependent on natural resources the wealth is concentrated on far fewer individuals who control the idiot inhabitants
