It is not by chance that people getting money from the state are more left leaning
- defrost 2y agoWhy aren't the US Red States left leaning then, as the greatest benefactors of Federal support?
- ttoinou 2y agoBy definition red states are republican leaning. Easy question
- DonHopkins 2y agoRed states are the welfare queens of the US.
- steve_adams_86 2y agoRed states and billionaires. It’s not surprising that they’re politically aligned, and the government is run by billionaires.
- AlecSchueler 2y agoThe hard part explaining the contradiction with your earlier assertion that "people getting money from the state are more left leaning."
- ttoinou 2y agoI was discussing my parent's comment which stated "your government, explicitly seeking to weed out politically non-compliant people"
- bdangubic 2y agoRed States would starve to death without being fed by Blue States. They’d move to Blue States and be homeless and beg for scraps :)
- DonHopkins 2y agoElon Musk certainly gets an overwhelming enormous amount of money from the state, and he is certainly not left leaning.
- steve_adams_86 2y agoCan you clarify this assertion? If a lot of public servants are left leaning, make no mistake about them: they’re working for their incomes, regardless of political affiliation. As other commenters have pointed out, a staggering amount of federal funds are paid to red states who are not working for these payments. If this doesn’t debunk what you’re saying, then what exactly are you saying?
