It’s a Fact: Republican Run Red States Have America’s Highest Poverty Rates

Dems seem to have crime, repubs seem to have mass poverty. Hmmm.. seems like two scarred lovers in a battle, they both are toxic and both talk crap behind each other backs, the kids (us citizens) tend to suffer from their divorce. Politics feel somewhat like Gossip Girl 🤣

And somehow the GOP convinced so called red states to vote against their own interests. Another interesting fact, red states used to be red states as in marxist. Oklahoma was once the stronghold of American marxism.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow I've been to Oklahoma, I would never think it was the stronghold of Marxism but I don't doubt you at all. It's just that wow... Oklahoma is very poor lol.

@SatanBurger I mean it was almost 100 years ago. That was pretty much ended in the 40s with the red scare.

@SatanBurger I also came across a few sources that state the term "redneck" came from radical marxist coal miners in Kentucky who wore red scarves around the time of the coal minor strikes like the War of Harlan County. There is a very strong leftist history in "conservative" states.

@PicturesOfABetterTomorrow Haha I didn't even know that, now if I argue with a redneck again about how they think "the gays" are taking over society, I'll let them know just that lol.
