Over the years, I've seen this red state blue state argument continue on and on.

I never trash blue states, especially California. I never criticize California. It's not like residents of CA are unaware of their challenges. But those challenges are the result of their success. The attraction of the state to so many people, companies that want to operate there, the economic engine that it is.

Just to piss them off, I could rag on California...just for the fun of it.

but I don't.

What shocks me is how unbelievably unhappy the Californians are who post here.

Why so unhappy? Why express so much outrage at what goes on in other states? You don't have to live there. You don't enjoy those problems. We're all living with Trump and the challenges that come with that. I didn't vote for him so what does it matter where I live?

and BTW, you pay the same federal taxes you would no matter where you live. The difference is taxes is based on what your state charges back to you. A state you already believe to be better so you shouldn't be complaining about that. Nor the roads, infrastructure, traffic, cost of living, etc. everything.

If it's better then you should be happy. And if you're happy, then good for you and I'm happy for you. I mean that sincerely.

But you're not. Instead, it's 24/7 total misery and constant attacks and insults hurled at others who don't live there.

Am I the only one here who sees the irony?

Why does a superior Californian spend all day here attacking a hick from Kansas who hasn't done anything to them?

This, folks, is the President of the United States:

Donald J. Trump
@realDonaldTrump
Oil is flowing like never before, thanks to the awesome Power of the United States Military. A special salute to Secretary of War, Pete Hegseth, Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, Dan Caine, and Commander of the United States Central Command, Admiral Brad Cooper. Because of them, and all members of the Most Powerful Military anywhere in the World, BY FAR, the Strait of Hormuz is open to ALL Ship traffic except for Iran " and that is because of their lying, violent, malicious leadership, which is taking them down the path of TOTAL DESTRUCTION. We will therefore have a FULL Blockade, but only on Ships coming to and from Iranian ports, or carrying anything have to do with Iranian cargo. Based on highly productive conversations with Middle East leadership, I have decided to replace the 20% United States Reimbursement Fee with Trade and Investment Deals that the various Gulf States will be making into the United States. Those Investments will be MASSIVE but, at the same time, extraordinarily good for them, and their future. As everyone is aware, we have the largest Dollar Investment into the United States, of any Country in History, but these new Investments will make that Number even larger, and we will see Factories, Plants, and Equipment pour into the United States at Historic levels, which will create additional millions of High Paying AMERICAN Jobs! America is WINNING again, winning like never before. The days of Iran killing hundreds of thousands of people, including 52,000 protestors, are OVER and, most importantly, IRAN WILL NEVER HAVE A NUCLEAR WEAPON! Thank you for your attention to this matter. President DONALD J. TRUMP

There, problem solved.

Actually, a Lot of DSA Members Are Communists
Trump's characterization of the group prompted media dismissals, but a majority of the Democratic Socialists of America's leadership identifies with Marxist ideology.

Your "source" provided almost ZERO proof of anything marxist. Except maybe this: "comments point to the Trotskyist concept of entryism, in which individuals join an organization with a defined ideological aim and work to change it from within. " which sounds exactly like the way maga is trying to change the election system, and the entire federal government from democracy to fascism.

"Authoritarianism rarely begins with a coup. It starts quietly, in the meetings of local boards and councils that most citizens overlook.

In the United States, the far-right movement aligned with Donald Trump has spent years burrowing into small institutions like school boards, library commissions, election offices, and county governments to undermine democratic norms from the ground up.

The strategy is deliberate, drawing on the same gradualist playbook that defined the early stages of other authoritarian movements across history, to delegitimize expertise, discredit neutral institutions, and replace procedural fairness with ideological loyalty.

Across the country, school board meetings once devoted to textbook purchases or safety protocols have turned into spectacles of political rage. Organized networks like Moms for Liberty and various "parents' rights" groups, many with documented ties to conservative think tanks and dark-money donors, have weaponized local governance by flooding meetings with misinformation about race, gender, and public health.

Their goal is not to improve education but to remake it in the image of partisan grievance. In some states, coordinated campaigns have succeeded in banning books, silencing teachers, and forcing resignations of experienced administrators. These disruptions weaken communities' ability to trust their institutions, creating the very cynicism that anti-democratic movements depend on.

Election offices have also become prime targets. Since 2020, Trump-aligned activists have attempted to seize control of county clerk positions and local election boards, often under the banner of "election integrity."

I guess maga is marxist then right?
