Ben and Team, you are making me more and more proud of being part of the GREAT family of the Midas Mighty. Your strength and enthusiasm is contagious. Thank you

I totally agree that their strength and enthusiasm is contagious. I'm a blue half speck in a red red sea and this group keeps me going! We cannot give up or give in an it would be easy to do without a strong leader and support group and that's what I get here. I'll never know if any of my small actions matter, but I do believe that if we all (close to 4 million of us!) do small things or better yet big things for those who can, we will make a difference. When I read on Jessica craven's Chop Wood Carry Water's Sunday Extra Extra editions where she shares positive accomplishments from the past week, I notice many are at the state level and we need to pay a lot of attention to what we can do there.
I really believe that sea is getting diluted with BLUE! all over the country, no one is immune to the attacks, the failures, the nightmares Orange turd is causing in every area of policy, and soon the economy will catch up to it. Red states are not just not immune, they have no inoculation at all to the economic collapse :( But if anything will create the red dots to change color, it's that.
There are some red dots that are changing! In my little red town, there are quite a few people that have walked over their snow-covered fields to take down all of their signs and Sunkist Stalin flags. This is working! Keep up the great work. I appreciate your truth and integrity. Don't back down to a small, minded man with a fragile ego!
What is really sad is that Biden's infrastructure was really concentrated more in the red states and there seemed to be little appreciation for that. I am wondering with all the nonsense that Trump is doing if that is going to be cut off?
It sure has put the GOP in a bind..they have to support trump but it will be very obvious (well maybe not unless the Dems get their act together and make it very obvious) that cutting off the funding the Biden admin put in place will hurt the locals. Possibly a lot...just like cutting off FEMA funds to FLA. LA, Alabama, Texas.... I will be surprised if any GOP folks choose their constituents over trump, but maybe one or two will.
I wonder if the Dems would literally blast red states with billboards and ads making these points, if it would make any difference, especially now that Canada was/is specifically targeting them with tariffs, etc.?
Very good article...I like having all the statistics in one place. I don't think the red states are flippable any more (but I'd sure like to see what they will do when the federal funding that supports them is ended...they don't have enough income to raise stat taxes to make up the difference) but there are those swing states and if somehow we can make sure the all votes are counted, and somehow not have musk controlling the vote counting, I think we could win back a majority in both houses. It seems to me it is critical that we support local state campaigns so we can get honest folks in office who will somehow prevent musk from controlling the vote counting. If musk is smart enough to rig th elections. surely some billionaire who till now has been not in the public eye can hire some who can outsmart the muskies. Mother Jones reports that America has close to 1,000 billionaires, and while most of them only care about making money, maybe, just maybe there are a few who could band together and work for liberty and justice for all and they could hire folks who would make elections legal and fair .

I've posted this before. Hartmann's article would lead me to believe that the GOP would take Trump over the needs of the Red States.
