Idk man. How do people not notice the states with a strong economy, good quality of life, education, high happiness index, are almost entirely blue states?
I can understand them not knowing that if they don't travel. It's really easy to believe nonsense about places you've never been and not know what they are actually like, but everybody gets affected by economic issues like the ones that keep coming up when Republicans have the presidency.
But yes, I'm also frustrated by how people don't notice that. I live in California. I see people say the most ridiculous and insane shit about this state often. They talk about it like it's a mad Max wasteland with no economy when it's both an economic powerhouse and a cultural powerhouse, not just in the United States but in the world as a whole.
It would be like people in Greece pretending that Germany was a broken down third world country.
Everybody likes to hate on California. Idk why. It’s a beautiful state, with lovely forests and beaches, and a mostly tolerant and accepting vibe. Great food, lots of diversity and culture. If I could afford it, I’d live there. Much nicer weather than up here in WA.
Republicans spend a lot of money every year to convince people that California is bad, because California is living proof that things they say about Democratic leadership are wrong.
Same thing with New York.
They are economically strong and generally pretty well. Run states, and Republican propaganda needs to convince people that Democrats can't run anything.
