@PoliticusSarah Ok but even if their numbers are correct Trump is aiming for the 10s of percents of crime to go down. 96 violent crimes verses 100 is basically nothing. But 40 verses 100 is huge

@TrueSlazac Had Grok say it so it wasn’t just my opinion and rather an AI that looks for solid and sound arguments/ evidence.

The argument that the U.S. would be a "third world country" without blue states oversimplifies economic and resource dynamics. Here’s a concise counterargument:

1. **Resource Distribution**: Red states contribute significantly to national resources. For example, Texas (red) leads in oil and gas production, supplying ~40% of U.S. crude oil. Agricultural powerhouses like Iowa, Nebraska, and Kansas (red) produce vast amounts of corn, wheat, and soybeans, feeding the nation and exporting globally. Blue states like California are critical for tech and agriculture (e.g., 80% of U.S. fruits and nuts), but red states dominate energy, mining, and staple crops.

2. **Economic Interdependence**: The U.S. economy thrives on interdependence. Blue states like New York drive finance and tech, but red states provide raw materials and manufacturing. For instance, Michigan (swing, often red-leaning) supports auto manufacturing, while Louisiana (red) handles 20% of U.S. petrochemical production. Without either, supply chains collapse.

3. **Federal Contributions**: Red states often receive more federal funding relative to taxes paid, but this reflects infrastructure needs (e.g., rural highways) rather than dependency. Blue states benefit from federal defense spending and contracts funneled through red-state military bases and industries.

4. **Urban vs. Rural Divide**: The "blue state" argument ignores that blue areas are often urban pockets within red-leaning states. Cities like Austin (blue) in Texas or Atlanta (blue) in Georgia drive innovation but rely on surrounding red regions for resources. The urban-rural synergy, not state color, fuels the economy.

5. **Global Context**: Without blue states, the U.S. would lose GDP (e.g., California’s $4T economy), but red states’ energy, agriculture, and manufacturing would still rank the U.S. among developed nations. Conversely, blue states alone would lack self-sufficiency in energy and food.

**Conclusion**: The U.S. is a network of complementary strengths. Blue states aren’t the sole reason for resources or national stability—red states are equally vital. Dismissing either distorts the reality of mutual reliance.

@DreamLeaf5 This whole issue is hard cold proof that the left will label anything as Nazi propaganda. At this point I’m convinced a conservative could cure CANCER for everyone and the left will say it’s horrible and racist.

@catturd2 I just think this is another 4D chess moment so Im not biting the Trump is a pedo lure yet.

@marvel_updat3s I thought it was good. Barely woke, good story, good cast, no random use of the multiverse it was good. Now if you compare it to like endgame then no but comparing the two is arguably silly

@marvel_updat3s Part of me hopes they keep making bad content to where they lose so much money that they have to sell Marvel entirely

@ASo1omons @BudLightSadness I know I have a passion for crawfish. But seriously?

@atrupar I think theres a pretty clear difference between missing a step which even athletes in their prime do sometimes, and completely eating shit and stumbling all over yourself

[Connor Jones @ConnorJ55514728]

@Bossyator Imagine 4 probably 5 years of engineering just to end up making this

@Riley_Gaines_ As a man I would have said thinking about dinosaurs but ig this is her stance

[Connor Jones @ConnorJ55514728]

@AutismCapital I would abolish the term limit for that.

@tailopez I honestly wish I could get tested just to know because this stuff makes me serious

@DrNeilStone People are more concerned with the side effects of the vaccines and the ingredients that have long term effects.

@atrupar I’m severely failing to see the problem with this clip. Trumps just buying a tesla with his personal money to support his friend. Is he not allowed to buy a tesla now because he’s president? I thought the left wanted to go full electric anyways should yal support this?

@JOKAQARMY1 I would appreciate the 8k. I would save it for necessities even though I would be tempted to upgrade my PC or buy something else I ultimately would not need.

@WHPressLeavitt We don't care tbh just keep doing your job unlike the last person in your position. It really is a relief to get answers and less bullshit.
